Home Therapy








Since a little before I turned 2 years old (August 2001), I have been receiving Verbal Behavior Therapy.

First, it was with Children Psychology Assoc. Mamá took me there every day for 2 hours and we practiced repeating sounds and playing while Mamá watched me through TV monitors in another room. I had two or three different therapists there and I remember Maggie with lots of love.

Then, Mamá thought it was better to have the therapists coming to our house and we started doing that. I really liked that better because we got to play with all the fun toys I had in my room. Marta was my therapist at that time and I loved her very much.

When we moved to our new house I continued with the therapies at home, everyday after school, for two hours. It is a lot of work but they really help me to learn new things like make puzzles, sort objects and pictures, follow different instructions and lately I have been learning how to write, even my name!. Trisha, Tamika, Sarah and Devoni have been my favorite therapists and they all have one thing in common: they were very nice and they love me very much.

Mamá is very happy that all these people have come into our lifes and we are all very thankful for how nice they have always been to us.

It is a pleasure and an honor to work with Diego. I sometimes wonder if he teaches me more than I teach him....May God bless Diego & his family always...

Love,
