As a school-based Speech Language Pathologist, I was looking for an opportunity to make extra income after work. Although opportunities working in early intervention sounded great, I was afraid to start (I've never worked with the little ones). Margaryta guided me, step by step, on exactly what to do, to say, and what to bring into my first few sessions. Her hierarchical guide of skills was a lifesaver to track kids' progress and pick new goals to work on. Margaryta is kind and very passionate about this field. You will feel so supported having her guidance.
