Families say

Real results, real families

  • “Gloria worked with my son, as his music therapist and she remains one of our favorites! She is amazing at what she does and cares deeply for her clients. She is a dedicated and gifted therapist and my son benefited greatly from her investment into his life.”

    Mother, Parent

    Child diagnosed with Williams Syndrome

  • “Gloria is truly outstanding. She has been able to creatively develop highly customized and extremely engaging programs that build upon the work of our son’s favorite musicians and made what was extremely difficult work for him fun. Her therapy truly helped our son grow his math and reasoning skills while bolstering his appreciation and understanding of music. He’s loved every minute he’s worked with her. Your child will too.”

    J & T

    Parents

  • “Our son has been working with Gloria for the past nine years; he has progressed from a barely-verbal three-year-old to a confident pre-teen who has no difficulty singing in front of a large audience. Gloria has skillfully used Eric’s musical inclination to address a variety of his needs, and her program has adapted right along with him. Perhaps as important as anything, Eric has fun doing it!”

    Mark, Parent of Eric

    Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • “We saw a lot of improvement in our daughter, Rhea, after the first few occupational therapy sessions. We continue to see positive changes in her, especially at nap time. The sensory strategies are help her to focus better. She is able to concentrate much better and she no longer moves around too much while she’s sitting to eat or work on puzzles. Rhea adores Ms. Gloria and loves coming to therapy. Thank you for all your guidance!”

    M & J, Parents of Rhea

    Sensory Processing Disorder

  • “Gloria has honored and blessed my son in ways that we had been seeking for years. Gloria has given all of us tools to help our son increase his awareness of his feelings, follow directions, and conquer his anxiety. Our son sleeps in his own bed, makes better choices, and feels more capable. We are grateful to Gloria for SEEING who our son is, respecting his difficulties, and encouraging him to use his tools to experience more joy and success.”

    Annette, Mother of Easton

    Sensory Processing Disorder

  • “We are so pleased with the progress we have seen in our daughter’s fine and gross motor skills since she has started therapy with Ms. Gloria. Her handwriting has improved. She has a better understanding of proper pencil grasp and letter formation. We are continuing to work on thinking outside the box and forming ideas, as Ms. Gloria is giving us the tools to do this. Ms. Gloria has been encouraging, supportive, and always makes 'therapy' fun and enjoyable.”

    Kristi, Mother of A

    Sensory Processing Disorder

  • “After coming to Ms. Gloria for OT, Edward is exploring more foods and now loves carrots! He can calmly walk outside when the smoke detector goes off and he is able to express his feelings now without a meltdown. One huge victory is that Edward can now flush the potty every time!”
