"Elissa Woods is a wonderful and talented therapist. When we met her my son was a severely autistic four-year-old with almost no language. She used sign language and toys to help him understand the meaning of words, and almost immediately he began to learn how to communicate. Elissa broke through his shell of isolation and brought him into the light, and today I have a normal, happy 15 year old. Words cannot express how much we owe Elissa." Michelle M., Plano, TX "Elissa is great with kids; she is gentle, patient and creative and my son is always excited about going to see her. Elissa also communicates well with parents. She helped us reach our son through play and gestures and she taught us the importance of things like variety and meaning. Our son's language has really improved since she started working with him." Bridgette A., Plano, TX "Elissa has a great deal of experience treating children with autistic spectrum disorders and she really "gets" them. Her pragmatic language approach isn't like traditional speech therapy and it has been very effective. Elissa has made me realize that speech is not about producing words but about thinking, understanding and using language effectively. Elissa has a lot of confidence in the kids and believes in their ability to learn language." Leah S., Carrollton, TX "Elissa is really good with the kids. She tries a variety of methods to engage them and will keep searching for a method that fits them. She knows when to push for more information and when to back off. My son really like her and she cares a lot, not just about him, but about the family too." Joyce D., Dallas, TX |
