Parent Testimonials

"Ericka Shuptar is a wonderful therapist! Not only is she professional and competent, but she's also a very caring person. She made a huge difference in my son's speech progress, and treated him with TLC. My 3 year old would actually get excited about going to see Ms. Ericka. The rest of the staff were also great. Friendly, helpful, and professional. Thank you CAPTA!"
