Check out our friend, Hudson! He attends Tender Care Learning Center in Athens where Encore Rehabilitation provide Speech and Occupational Therapy Services! Check out what his mom had to say about the progress Hudson has made as well as the benefits of receiving services at the daycare! We are so proud of Hudson!
“My son, Hudson, was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy two years ago. One of the major developmental delays his diagnosis affects is his speech. Routine is an integral part of managing Hudson’s epilepsy. This is where Encore became, basically, a saving grace. He was able to receive his speech therapy while at school. We did not have to add extra visits, longer car rides, or introduce him into a new environment for him to receive the speech therapy he needs to thrive in life. I will be forever grateful to Encore and their staff for providing Hudson the therapy he needs at his school. -Molli Beth, Hudson’s Mom
