Dear SPOT Therapy Associates,
We came to you 3 years ago with concerns for our preemie twins. You, with open arms, accepted them as part of your therapy family. Since then, our daughter, Adelyn, has already graduated from speech and physical therapy and looking to graduate from occupational therapy in the coming year. Our son, Ivan, was very ill when he came and he has grown so much. In these 3 years, he has had more medical setbacks than most children. But, because of your office and the caring people who make SPOT such an amazing place for pediatric therapy, my son has been able to accomplish more than we could have ever imagined. Ivan has started to grab things, activate toys, eat better by mouth, stopped needing night feeds, he's also making steps in his walking braces, and I could go on and on. But what we cherish most is that you give them the room to grow, thrive, be unique and all in such a comfortable place that the kids just see as a place to play with their friends. Thank you for what could be hard times in life be an adventure with all of the things you enrich our children's life with.
