The most amazing part of all this is that you include not just us as parents but you always include his brother. You really blew me away when you asked to involve him in the communication passport – you are truly amazing, thank you.

We now have these precious moments and memories to see our very own super hero do us so proud – you’re amazing you really are!

I can’t thank you enough – to be honest the support you have given us as a family is incredible. It’s such a proud moment watching Owen work with his switch adapted toys – thanks to you. The fact Owen knows to keep the switch pressed in if he is enjoying the reaction, we would never have had the opportunity to know Owen could do these things.

My son has made incredible progress since working with Niki which is invaluable and has made a huge difference to his overall development. Niki works flexibly around his, ours and schools requirements. We didn’t appreciate how communicative my son could be until he started to work with ATtherapy. Niki’s work has shown how much he is capable of. Previous people supporting my son have used Lego therapy but in a different way and it has never been successful. The Lego therapy provided by Niki included in his wider support by her is yielding measurable and obvious results Other adults supporting my son have commented on the difference in his ability to communicate and how noticeable the difference in him is. Niki is professional and courteous at all times. We are truly grateful for the amazing support my son has received and the difference she is making to his life.

My son has worked with Emma Bowers, Specialist Speech and Language Therapist for approximately 3 years now. Not only is she professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, she was able to build a good rapport with him very quickly and has consistently supported him positively in his growth; identifying areas to focus on and improve upon. She has a very practical and considered approach looking at his therapy with a long-term view as well as being highly adaptable to focus on any immediate changes.
As a parent taking on the role of case manager for my son, I have found her professional knowledge and support invaluable.
As a parent of a child with additional needs, we have fought for many years to give him access to education and therapies and ATtherapy has consistently worked with me, learnt from me about my son and been able to use their professional experience and knowledge to support him in the best way. I couldn’t ask for more and hope to continue to work with them for as long as we need them.

Just a quick note to say we have worked with Henry using the suggested methods over the weekend. Daniel and I both agree they have already made a difference just over the past couple of days. “Go” is very clear and we have had a very clear “more tea” also. We are really pleased!

I think it is marvellous for Kit to have a male mentor..friend and a person he can learn from and engage with in the coming future, a spur to get him inspired to put a lot of effort into coming to grips with his technology, especially someone who is not family or teachers, his own comrade….

Just to say thanks again for letting me shadow you last week. I found it really interesting, and it gave me a very good insight into how complex your role is.

I just wanted to share with you that Will has a line to say verbally in an assembly at school. I never imagined that he would ever do that. Thank you. I know a lot of work, time and effort from many people yourself included has gone into getting him here and we still have a long way to go but Words for Life has played a huge part and still is.

Having a therapist on site, especially one who is keen to work as ‘one of the team’ is invaluable. Since using AT Therapy we have been able to address the needs of pupils more promptly and provide a much needed source of regular advice and support for staff. As a result our whole school practice around communication, the use of speech, sign and assisted communication has been improved.
