CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

WHAT HAVE PARENTS OR FAMILIES SAID ABOUT ANNIE'S CENTRE?

Mother of 9 years and 6 months old boy (Year 3)
“My son has struggled with significant learning difficulties since Prep. By the time he reached Year 3 he still could not read or write his own name. Although he was having regular therapy sessions to help with his learning difficulties, the progress was very slow. Often those working with him became frustrated. Overtime he lost confidence and developed effective avoidance strategies that further hampered his ability to learn. A friend recommended ‘Multilit’. Her son had great results with the program in a relatively short time. I decided to give it a go at Annie’s Centre. Working with Annie’s Centre’s patient and professional staff we started the program. Within a few weeks my son had picked up sight words that would’ve previously taken months to learn. Each week he went up another level of fluency. He is also able to write and work more independently in class. His avoidance strategies have lessened greatly and he is more confident and happy to learn particularly at school. I highly recommend it!”

Mother of 3 years 6 months old boy
“Anne diagnosed Alex and we used their speech and OT services for a while. Her assessment was extremely detailed and very accurate. Needless to say we will be going back to her for another assessment towards the end of the year. The concern that she showed us as parents was comforting and we felt that we sought the best help for us as a family at the time.”

Mother of 5 years 11 months old boy
“Anne would make a fantastic speaker at the Autism Expo. I've had two meetings with Anne Chalfant regarding some long standing sleep issues. Anne looked at every detail and quickly got to the core of our “dilemma”. I'm hoping to return soon to talk about tackling anxiety. We will be looking at a version of her CBT programs (originally developed for children with high functioning autism) modified to meet my son's communication needs. What has been said about the concern that Anne and her staff shows parents was actually quite “striking” to me. I felt like I'd crossed a line into another world!”
