Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you. L— has been asking to go to Ferox for some time (her friends go) and I’ve been hesitant for obvious reasons (flashing lights, loud music, crowded!). L— entered and was overwhelmed but still curious. She took her time getting adjusted to the environment. And then she was really so excited and brave in her movement. She covered her ears when she sensed it was too much. She calmly moved away from kids getting too close. She asked for help when needed. I felt so happy for her that she could have this positive experience, that she could find ways to stay engaged and pursue interesting challenges, instead of feeling overtaken by the intense stimulation. And she was just so strong!
I know she was able to have a great time today because of the work she’s been doing with you since the Fall. And I love that this just helps build up her confidence in all ways. Thank you for your care, experience, and commitment to what you do! We all benefit so much.

“Jessica has been working with our 6 year old son for the past two years, and she has helped him make significant progress in sensory and fine motor areas. Our son "K" is on the autism spectrum and has sensory processing difficulties. His sensory issues tend to interfere with his ability to focus and sustain attention to a task for long duration. Jessica is very perceptive and was able to create a sensory diet to help K minimize the effects of the sensory issues. She has pushed K towards being more independent in terms of dressing and feeding. Jessica uses a variety of fun tools while working on fine motor skills, and for K it feels like play time while having a productive session. Jessica is very collaborative - and proactively reaches out to other therapists at home and school. Jessica is creative and has excellent troubleshooting skills, which is critical to being a good OT, as every child is unique."
