“My son was fortunate enough to have Christie's social group offered as an enrichment at his school. We signed him up for every session! They played games to practice good sportsmanship and taking turns, and did other activities to help the kids communicate with one another in a positive way. We have seen a huge transformation in our son's engagement with his peers over the last year and a half, and we are certain that working with Christie has contributed to his growth!”
