“My son had an 8 week block with Meg. He really enjoyed speaking to someone who wasn't part of school and it really helped him understand himself and the impact his actions has on others. In the 8 weeks I got my son back a little more each week. He now goes to sports and enjoys it, cooks at home and is becoming more independent and understanding. Meg kept in touch even when the 8weeks ended and we are hoping to continue the therapy ourselves. For my son it was helpful that he could off load but Meg really listened to him, he felt valued and that his issues with school, home and the community were listened to. He would actually enjoy going to school the days he saw Meg. As a family we are so grateful and appreciative of towards and Meg's support! Thank you!!”
