Testimonials

Seeing results and the effect they have on our clients lives, is far and away the most gratifying aspect of our business!

I am glad that I found Lead Changes Therapy for my daughter. Liz has been an awesome instructor and I have seen my daughter make progress with every class. I am very impressed with how organized they are - the initial assessment, formulating goals, re-assessment at midpoint, the feed back after every class etc. My daughter loves Liz and looks forward to the classes. Both Natalie and Liz have been extremely professional and very helpful. They are always just a phone call or e-mail away. I would recommend them to anyone who might
benefit from their services.

Lead Changes Therapy was the first to introduce our daughter to water therapy! It was with the child's ability to overcome fear and to acclimate to this new environment in mind  session was run. [My daughter] couldn't wait for "swimming" every week and despite her speaking challenges, talked about it constantly! We were delighted with Natalie's handling of Michelle and as a result heartily recommend LCTS!

I Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful work you have done with [my daughter]. Since [she] started her aquatic therapy with you, i have noticed several changes in her behavior and also in her physical wellness.

There was a time when her balance was very unstable and she would fall often. Her balance has improved a great deal. To me, her self image is very important, because when we have good self esteem, there is a sense of belonging no matter what we do. The therapy has with you has contributed to physical activity which in turn has helped her lose some of the weight she has gained in the last few and has also given her an understanding of "healthy food, portions, fat content, etc, which i have tried to teach her with out success. I guess it is always better when it doesn't come from your parents. She is a much happier girl and she is back smiling beautifully all the time. I love her smile! I love my daughter. Thank you again.

My son, now 10 has been working with Natalie Baker, CTRS of Lead Changes Therapy Services for almost two years. He was diagnosed at age 3 with Autism and had significant Sensory Processing and Integration issues. He has over the years had Occupational and Physical Therapy. They we beneficial, but it was often in "hospital like" settings and not place "other kids" go. He always loved the water but had some fears and lacked confidence, stroke skills and was not a very good candidate for group instruction. As his friends began playing more in the "deep end", I saw him being further isolated at the pool. Aquatic therapy has helped him develop confidence in himself and his abilities, strength, swimming skills coordination, and a sense of belonging and inclusion with his peers. This past summer he was on a local swim team and it was the most positive "team" experience he has ever had. He always want to go to his Aquatic Therapy even if he has had a bad day at school. I think he realizes, as I do, that it gives him sensory input and stimulation and needed recreation. He is proud of what he can do and enjoys it. LCTS has provided caring and supportive services that are personalized to him and his needs. They support and challenge him to be a part of the community.
