Testimonials
We started with Grace roughly when our son, C., was 3 years old. C. is now almost 7 years old and you would never know he had such a difficult time learning how to speak. Grace's dedication and expertise played a crucial role in C.'s progress. Our family is forever thankful for everything Grace did with C.

Grace at Bloom Therapy is amazing. She provided me and my family guidance and answered all my questions regarding my child. Being a first time mom, it is hard to know all the details on milestones and when to act if necessary for early intervention. She provided resources that was available in the community and what most people do not know about. Highly recommend Bloom Therapy.
