My son Pete was a 2011 graduate. Within 5 minutes at the intake meeting the speech therapist at Heuser knew my son was speech apraxia. He started half days at 3 years of age and full days the remaining 2 years. He came home exhausted but Heuser knew exactly what he needed. Heuser helped with recommending additional help( hippotherapy and additional speech therapist). We were totally lost and helpless just wanting best for our child. Heuser was a game changer. My son is currently on scholarship at Ole Miss University mechanical engineering program with honors. This Acadamy works miracles. My son is living proof.
