We can’t say enough good things about Joy. She has provided amazing support for our daughter, who started working with Joy shortly after she turned two. Since partnering
with Joy we've seen a huge improvement overall in our daughter’s ability to communicate, both from extending her vocabulary, to putting more and more words together to form simple sentences. In addition to productive sessions, Joy gives my husband and me easy and actionable feedback on things we could work on between the sessions and that’s helped our daughter tremendously.
Also, I love how engaged Joy is! She is totally active and focused during our sessions, getting on the ground to play with our daughter and changing activities based on her interest and needs. She brings a variety of tools and toys to each session so that things always feel new and exciting, while also focusing on specific skill development. She also will quickly pivot based on how interested our daughter is in a given session. Our daughter is shy, especially with newer people and has really warmed up to Joy and it’s 100% a credit to Joy’s style and approach to meet kids where they are. Before sessions now, my daughter waits by the door saying “come, Joy!”, it’s awesome to see the trust she’s built with her in less than a year.
Lastly, and certainly not least, Joy is incredibly caring, kind, and super easy to work with both for children and for parents. I cannot recommend Joy enough, we’re currently doing home visits but plan to have Joy continue to work with our daughter in the preschool classroom this Fall to help her continue to progress.
