“Our son Shea is doing great!
He switched schools twice in the past 3 years, and nonetheless, his social life was unaffected by his stutter.
And there has been a tremendous progress in his stutter over the past 6 months!
Thank you Malka, for being the most amazing person to help our son get to where he is!”
