Learn what former parents, caregivers and collaborating professionals have to say about Speaking With Siena...

"In our special needs journey, the beginning was the hardest. Not quite understanding our daughter's condition, not quite knowing who could help. Feeding therapy before Siena was a confusing revolving door of therapists who did little to help me understand why my daughter was not feeding well and how to help her. I will never forget the stress of always worrying if my daughter would drink/eat enough to improve her weight percentile. 

 

Siena came into our lives and made all the difference. She took away the stress of feeding for both myself and my daughter. Step by step, she devised a treatment plan that would work. She patiently trained me and my nanny. For our daughter, she always brought smiles, music, and fun. Because of Siena, she learned to love food and all its various flavor and textures. 

 

As with feeding, Siena made speech therapy fun. Our daughter would light up every time Siena walked into the room, excited for more fun times with Siena.  

 

What my daughter never saw is all the hard work and dedication Siena put into her case. Behind the scenes, Siena worked hard at collaborating with myself and other therapists to provide exceptional and thorough care. She would spend countless hours researching new foods, pertinent studies, interesting toys for my daughter. Always humble enough to know that she wants to learn more, Siena would go to continuing education seminars and come back excited to tell me what she learned as pertinent to how she can better help us. She tirelessly created visuals for her to get started with picture communication. I still don’t know if Siena sleeps at night because I know she provides this level of care to all her kiddos. 

 

With Siena, we did not just have a therapist- my daughter had an advocate, I had a partner."
