Consulted For: Therapy of my niece.
We had a truly wonderful experience at Rising Steps with my niece.. She has sensory issues and was quite hyperactive when we first arrived.. she wouldn't respond to her name and was very overwhelmed.. I brought her to see Dr. Fatima and in the beginning.. she cried through the initial sessions. However. after just a few sessions. she began to settle down and grow calmer. Within about a month. we started noticing real. visible progress. I'm truly grateful to the entire team at Rising Steps.
