What People are Saying

​​"Our daughter now participates fully in a world that left her feeling powerless and overwhelmed.  We are deeply grateful to Lori for her creativity, skill, commitment to her clients, and determined belief in our daughter’s ability ​to succeed.”   J.F., Wayne, NJ​

"I appreciate the hard work I had from my OT.  Lori was always prepared with creative exercises and made great suggestions to make my life easier and safer.  She coordinated with my other therapists and reached out to my children.  Once I reached my goals, she set up a routine for me for each day.  I hope I stay healthy, but I will call Lori again if I ever need her."  R.B. Wayne, NJ
