I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ariel with 2 of my children. We first came to her for my daughter when she was around 2 years old. She didn’t have any words. Ariel was so patient with her and created a wonderful rapport with my very shy daughter. Ariel has a way of getting my daughter out of her shell and really getting her to participate in her therapy even when my daughter didn’t want to. Ariel is just too fun that my daughter couldn’t refuse! My daughter made amazing progress while working with Ariel and talks nonstop now! I also love how Ariel was not only willing but very encouraging to bring other family members to our sessions, even young siblings. She loved being able to help others in our family understand what my daughter was going through and how they could help her be successful. When my youngest was born and was having feeding difficulties I knew exactly who I wanted to help us. Once again, Ariel was wonderful at explaining everything and listening to my concerns. Because of Ariel I was able to breastfeed him for over a year! If you are looking for someone that will come alongside you and your family to help you all succeed in your kiddos communication or feeding journey, I don’t think there’s anyone better than Ariel.
