--Ann, parent of a 5-year-old.

{ Liesl let me participate in her sessions and always provided techniques for us parents to apply. Now my boys are where we never thought they would be: they can communicate and they have friends! Thank you, Liesl, for your contribution in bringing back our two boys. }

--Rosa, parent of two boys with autism

{ Liesl brings an impressive depth of knowledge and great empathy to her practice. In addition to her strong credentials as a speech pathologist, she always places her everyday therapeutic work in the context of children's sensory and cognitive challenges. She integrates her work easily with that of parents, teachers, and other members of a caregiving team, always lending significant observations and insights.}
