A good difference.
Thank you for everything. I want you to know what a good difference you have made in our lives and how much better we feel after our conversations and the information you've given us. It's really helped to validate the concerns I've had since he was a baby and makes me feel more confident in his future. You were the person I'd been searching for all his life.

Feeling seen.
You are exactly who we needed and I felt so supported throughout the process. So often, behaviors are seen as “problems” or children as needing to be “fixed.” You saw my son for all the wonderful things he is. During a time when I heard so many negatives, you celebrated his sweetness and determination. During our very first conversation, you made me feel at ease, knowing whatever was to come, you were with us every step of the way and would be the biggest advocate for him and our family. Thanks for helping me remember to trust my instincts as a mom. Thank you for listening to our story, calming our fears, and celebrating our son. You are AMAZING at what you do and I am so grateful for you!

Helping me advocate.
When you have a child with complex medical needs and disabilities, adding yet another specialist to the list of specialists your child already has, is not a decision you make lightly. But having Dr Hoida join our team was an easy decision to make. Dr. Hoida's experience working in the education system and her neurodiversity affirming practice as a psychologist enables her to take a uniquely holistic approach. She sees the *whole* child not just the list of diagnoses on paper. She uses this holistic approach and her knowledge of the educational system to help me be the best advocate for my child.
