Our daughter was born prematurely due to IUGR and was severely underweight. She went to two nutritionists, has been followed by a Pediatric Gastrointestinal Specialist, completed therapy with a Behavior Therapist and two different Speech Therapists before Clare Lashley, of Children's Therapy Group, started working with her. Clare immediately noticed that our daughter's mouth muscles were weak and underdeveloped (something that none of the other specialists ever recognized). Clare works with our daughter twice a week, starting the session with basic stretching and exercises to strengthen our daughter's mouth muscles. Our daughter is now eating much better and has put weight on. Our Gastrointestinal Specialist has told us "to keep doing whatever we're doing" since our daughter has finally put on some weight. We cannot thank Clare enough for the difference she's made in our daughter's life.

We have had the privilege of knowing and working with Brook Todd for 7 years now. Our daughter Rachel was born five weeks early and has a history of medical and developmental issues. When Rachel first started seeing Brook at age two, she was essentially non-verbal. Brook worked with us to help Rachel learn sign language so she could communicate with us and with her teachers. Our goal was for Rachel to be able to express her wants and needs independently, whether that be with spoken language or with sign language. Over the next few years, Brook helped give Rachel the tools to become a very verbal child who could express her wants and needs. Although Rachel is not on grade level with her peers, she is easily understood and is able to function in a variety of social settings. While we continue to struggle with Rachel’s medical and developmental issues, we are sure that Rachel would not be where she is today without Brook’s superb speech therapy services.
