We embarked on a music therapy journey with the amazingly talented Simon Brody to support our son. We had no idea how it would go but we tried everything to get our son to speak and we have FINALLY succeeded. The fun, healing and benefits for our son have been phenomenal. We are beyond grateful to Simon who has helped us through the highs and lows of our journey. So thank you, Simon
