June has taken the time to build a trusting personal relationship with my child. Additionally, June has incorporated parent involvement throughout the process of improving my child's speech; the learning has been a continual process not just a focused event. I have found that June is open to our suggestions, welcomes our questions, and therefore has earned our trust.
