Mary has been the Senior Therapist, supervising the IBI Program for a young boy to whom I've been the Instructor Therapist for the past four years. Although, Mary only started supervising his program in this past year, during this time the child has made significant gains, progressing at a steady pace.
I believe the difference in the child's progress is that Mary listens and responds to the wishes of the people that know the child best. Even though originally, his speech was not clear, Mary identified that he was being consistent in his verbal responses and provided programming at a verbal level. With the extra verbal practice, his speech has improved significantly and he is responding at a sentence level a great deal of the time.
The child is feeling proud of his gains and is willing to attempt new programs more readily. I would highly recommend Mary as a Senior Therapist. Her experience and ability to relate to the families on her caseload is superior!
