“We are so fortunate to have had Danielle working with our daughter over the past few years. We have seen tremendous growth and progress in her fine and gross motor skills during this time. Danielle is kind, patient and knowledgeable in her field. Danielle connects so well with our daughter and our daughter can’t wait to see her every week. As parents, we have many questions and concerns and Danielle is always more than willing to sit with us and explain things clearly. She is positive, encouraging and motivating. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone seeking occupational therapy for their child.”
