Nature's Edge Therapy Center, Inc.

I hope the words I use give Natures Edge therapy center enough if everything, credit, endorsement from the staff, volunteers and all the amazing animals on the ranch. This place changes you! As a mother of 2 young autistic children ages 2 and 4 yrs old I can not sing the praises of what they have to offer for our children. My 4 yrs old son was able to put some words together but had troubles with some sounds. We did traditional speech therapy through Medicare/Medicaid for over a year almost 2 yrs. In just 6 months!!! 6 months!!! He has surpassed his goals and taught himself to read buy using his letters and sounds to out together the words on the page!! My 2 yrs old Daughter had received the same traditional speech therapy as her brother through Medicare/Medicaid and only knew a handful of words such as mama, dada, baba and 10 body parts. She is now after again 6 MONTHS!!! Speaking in sentences counting to 10, recognizes her A B C's & numbers, knows who, what questions and learning he/she!!! All with the help, the care of the therapist, hippo therapy, their understanding of not only speech but how the body and brain works together to successfully impact children with autism. It's astounding how much love and care goes into each session to help these children succeed. It not only effects them but our family! This changes their quality of life! It's such a big impact on their lives to be able to use words to communicate their wants and needs in order to reduce their frustrations and behavior because of miscommunication and to be able to regulate their body to under the world around them through this AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT! I have tears of overwhelming joy and excitement knowing that we had this opportunity and the door that had opened up for these kids for their future. The impact they have had on myself has been so tremendous as well. Being around the animals and the atmosphere and having Mrs. Becky doing a NMT assessment for me to help with my PTSD just shows how willing and how much they care about healing and educating people to help them be the best version of themselves.
