We could hear our 17 year old son talking quite a bit throughout the session which makes us very happy. We couldn't make out what he was saying but we are thrilled that he's able to open up and keep a conversation going for these sessions. Thank you for being so amazing. We are extremely pleased so far.

It was really good to be able to have both parents available but also able to step away at the appropriate times. I feel that each person was able to voice concerns and hopes for the future.

Amanda was excellent. Shes a great listener, asked thoughtful questions, and handled my son's rapid topic changes well. Talking to her before school started made a HUGE positive difference in his excitement and confidence to walk in to class with a smile on his face.
