I knew we should be hearing babbling like "ma-ma" and "da-da" but despite a degree in Elementary Education and a highly verbal older child, nothing we were doing seemed to be working. Carrie took our nearly non-verbal 9-month old when others wouldn't. She was timely, caring, and professional during therapy sessions. She immediately intervened with innovative therapies based on research. Stimulating his auditory nerve with motion (swinging, swaying, and bouncing) my non-verbal child miraculously spoke the word "ball" at the end of the first therapy session focused on many experiences surrounding balls. She made impressive progress over the months that followed. She worked with Sam until she moved back to her home state and we credit her with his ability to discontinue early childhood speech services before he turned 3. Sam is now a happy, healthy 10-year old who asks us so many hard questions, we often laugh that we were once worried he couldn't speak.
