"Couldn't have asked for better"
We sought a consult from Cush back when our son was just over 2, and she confirmed he needed a speech therapist. We started with weekly sessions via Zoom as we are a remote family and Cush was based in Sydney. We used a lot of play based therapies and followed through with those we4ekly sessions and did the work every day with our son. While at first we wondered if we would ever have a boy who spoke we used play based learning which then lead to using LAMP app Cush recommended and now we have a fluent talker at the age of 5.
We couldn’t have asked for a better or more thorough speechie and will be forever grateful to Cush for teaching us how to get our son to talk. (But Cush, how do we get an off switch lol). Even through zoom sessions nothing phased Cush and she always had a work around and alternatives we could try.
Thank you just isn’t enough, but we will be eternally grateful for everything she did and taught us!
