“Before starting with Little Leaves my child did not speak and had daily meltdowns. We just celebrated our first year working with Little Leaves with our child and he now talks and his behaviors have tremendously improved! I thank Little Leaves staff every day for how well they work with my child. They have become family! I couldn’t recommend a better place for a child with ABA service needs than coming to Little Leaves.”
