Dear Sande,
We write you this letter from the bottom of our hearts to express our gratitude for everything that you have done with our son Juanito. When he arrived at New Directions For Kids with his diagnosis of autism we felt lost and scared. At that time, we did not know how to communicate with him as he was not very verbal and had lots of sensory necessities we didn’t yet comprehend.
With your help, he did an 180° turn, thanks to your patience and professionalism. The therapy sessions you gave him have helped him be more expressive, more independent and overall more open to interact with others in a way that we once believed to be impossible. Today, he knows how to express what he feels and needs without becoming so frustrated, which is something so valuable.
Visiting you once a week for years became something Juan looked forward to. Thank you for being someone so kind and understanding for him. Thank you for walking beside us during all of these years. We don’t know where we would be without your guidance and constant support.
With deep gratitude,
