This has been the most practical and useful training to interact and help my kid. Gina gives practical solutions to day-to-day problems you encounter with your kid. In short, this is awesome! — ESPA Parent
This is a wonderful resource. As a parent seeking information about services, it is so easy to feel like you’re in limbo or don’t know how the reality of the way things work. Christina was a fantastic resource in that she was candid, looked to actively provide information that she could see we needed, and kept on working with us and looking into things that pertained directly to our specific needs. — ESPA Parent
This was a tremendous resource, and I am so grateful to have had access to it! Gina’s advice and training has been so helpful in the anxious time between diagnosis and therapy. — ESPA Parent
