"….We can't recommend Erin enough. She is brilliant, intuitive, and exceptionally creative to each child's individual needs. Our son has little idea he is "working" on sensory processing, gross, fine, and visual motor skills. She quickly identified "games" to improve his working memory. Erin energetically shows up with a massive toolbox of knowledge, equipped with endless strategies to meet his treatment plan. Simply put, on session days our son looks out his window waiting for Erin's arrival. She instilled newfound confidence in our parenting skills, but most importantly in our son. He has several therapists in his life, and Erin was the one who suggested collaboration amongst providers. She is Magic!"

"...It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Bethany- from the beginning, she explained what the individualized goals for our child were and let us know what they accomplished in the weekly sessions and how we could continue to support our child at home. Over the last year, we have noticed significant changes and improvements in the areas that our child was having challenges in. When we first started OT, our child would not speak to Bethany at all, preferring to only use body language, but over time, Bethany’s patient and positive encouragement have helped our child to overcome any reluctance in speaking and look forward to weekly sessions."

"....My son loves his sessions with Aimee! He has so much fun and sees it as play time, not to mention that he has created a close bond with Aimee. As a parent, I have seen a lot of growth and improvement. Aimee is also super helpful and responsive to questions outside of the sessions, which is huge. She is flexible and really listens. Overall, I can't recommend Aimee and STPS enough!"
