"Our son can be a little stubborn. Lauren has been creative and positive and always finds a creative way to engage him. She provides the perfect mix of letting him lead and challenging him so he gets the most out of the session."
-- Cory S.
"Lauren has been wonderful to work with and our son would not be where he is today with his language development without all of Lauren’s efforts! She has taught, us as parents, so many...tips, techniques and things that we can work on with him at home."
