Dr.King is amazing and connects really well with my son. She has created an atmosphere where he trusts her and she has his buy-in to work towards his goals. This is a difficult task and she does it with excellence. I am very thankful for the work she does with my son. She is very patient and is willing to keep working with him even though progress is slow.
