Client Testimonials

Playability has been more than therapy for my son; the personalized games have helped him with his concentration, focus, and playtime. The changes we've observed in my son are that his participation in games is more extensive and focused. As a family, we can enjoy more time in longer games, thanks to his therapies.

As the parent of a child with speech difficulties, I would tell you that these therapies help enormously with his communication, focus, and social skills. Like all therapies, they are always helpful for parents, and you can see the difference throughout the therapies.

I recommend and advise providing these personalized therapies for children.

Client Testimonials
Since my son has taken therapy in conjunction with other classes/therapies, his language has improved, his playstyle has improved as he better understands the rules of the game, and his concentration time on an activity has also increased.

It has helped us understand my son better, as he strives to communicate more clearly. This has also reduced his self-harm, as he feels less frustrated when trying to express himself.

It's a very respectful type of therapy. I like that it focuses on connecting with the child and, rather than focusing on a specific number of hours per week, focuses on personalized goals. Plus, it doesn't feel burdensome to the child since it's in his own environment (home) and through play, so he'll love it.

My experience has been satisfactory, full of positive changes. As a mother, I have been pleased with my baby's progress. The changes have been very noticeable: my baby looks more into my eyes, is more attentive to his name and follows instructions, and interacts much more. For our family, the changes our baby has made have strengthened and motivated us to continue on this path.

To parents considering this service, I would say that if you have the means, don't hesitate. It's in your hands to open great doors for your children, and with the help of this wonderful team, you will achieve it.
