Milestone Moment - James!

May 11, 2023

Way to go James!

 Meet James!


James started speech therapy at PMC in 2021. He had goals to improve higher-level language skills (inferencing, comprehension, problem solving) and social skills with peers. Since 2021, James has participated in two social groups and individual treatment sessions. 


James has made fantastic progress with his language and social skills! We love seeing him around the clinic and talking about soccer and video games. Due to his hard work and many achievements, James has graduated from weekly speech sessions!


We are going to miss seeing him each week in speech but can’t wait to see all the great things James will do in the future!


Way to go buddy! We are all so proud of you!
