We look forward to sharing with you what our clients are saying about our services. To get this process started, here are some comments from participants of the summer playgroups offered by AnaMaria Guevara, LCSW, and Leina Ramos, LCSW, at the Center for Developing Minds in Los Gatos.
"Michael has really enjoyed taking these classes and says he wishes he could stay all day. I think the suggestions about how to help him be aware of others and responding to them (expected behavior) has been the most helpful. That was one of the main concerns my husband and I have had lately. He has improved a little. I notice him responding more to others when asked questions, he looks towards them and talks. He didn't do this a month ago". (Michael, age 5)
"I think the support he's getting during the imaginative play portion of the group is most valuable. Adrian is very creative and imaginative and enjoys constructing play schemes, but his control issues limit his ability to include peers. I think his experience in group has shown him a bit how to include others. He's definitely been better negotiating play schemes with his brother since he started group. Also, Adrian has not been very interested in art/craft projects in the past, but he seems pleased about what he produces in group". (Adrian, age 5)
Peer player, “Ana absolutely loved the group. She could not wait to come each week. Can I get her on a priority list to come back for the next session?” (Ana, age 5, expert player volunteer) for opportunities to volunteer, click here
