What families are saying about Maggie

 

"Since working with Maggie, my son has had a lot less melt downs and they are more subdued and he recovers faster. This is great progress!”

— Manatee mom

“My son is doing much better! He is way quicker to regulate himself. At least half of the time he follows our request without outbursts and the other times he calms down so quickly. Now we're able to connect as a family in fun, positive ways, instead of fighting or disciplining.”
