Our daughter has made so much progress with your help.

"Our daughter has made so much progress with Yvonne's help. Watching her with Yvonne throughout this journey has been amazing for me. Thanks to Yvonne, we have the "tools" to keep moving forward. She also adores Yvonne and has put her in her "exclusive" friend crowd. Thank you for helping us introduce new foods. She is now less resistant to trying new foods and has added a few new foods."
