“He would not be the caring, sensitive, communicative person without her…”
“Alle has been working with our son for nearly two years. I remember clearly the first day we met her and she met our son - she was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly insightful about our son, his strengths, and where she could support him. Until we met Alle, we had not met a practitioner who understood him so deeply and who had such a thoughtful approach to helping him thrive while respecting the core of who he is.
Since then, she has been a rock for him and a rock for us - we've gone to Alle with questions big and small, and she is always thoughtful and prompt in her responses. And with her at his side at preschool, our son has THRIVED - he would not be the caring, sensitive, communicative person he is today without her guidance and support. With Alle's help, our son has gone from benefiting from 5 mornings a week of one-on-one preschool support to transitioning out of support at preschool altogether. We unequivocally recommend her for any family looking for the best possible support for their child.”

“We often referred to the positive changes as “Allé’s magic”…”
“From the very first day of working with Allé, it was clear that she possessed a remarkable ability to connect with our son, who is on the autism spectrum. Her patience, skill, and genuine care impressed us so much, and we knew immediately that she was the therapist we wanted to partner with for the long term, until our son could achieve complete independence. Over the course of the past two years, Allé's therapeutic interventions have led to numerous improvements in our son's development, truly changing our lives. Just recently, we were touched to hear our son express, "I like Allé" without any prompting from us – a significant milestone in his journey.
Prior to working with Allé, we had engaged with various service providers, including experienced BCBAs. However, our son's responsiveness and engagement with Allé surpassed our experiences with anyone else. We often referred to the positive changes we witnessed after Allé's sessions as "Allé Magic". Her sessions are not only highly effective but also very fun and joyful, creating an environment where our son can truly enjoy and thrive.
In addition to her direct work with our son, Allé has been invaluable in providing us with strategies to navigate the daily challenges of parenting, such as our son's difficulty in adapting to sudden changes in plans. She has also actively participated in IEP meetings with the school district, accompanied us to observe our son's classroom, and offered insightful suggestions to address challenges he faced at school – all of which were highly appreciated by educators and staff. With her extensive experience across various school districts in the Bay Area, Allé possesses invaluable knowledge of their support systems and dynamics, which is immensely beneficial to parents.
We look forward to many more years of collaboration with Allé, cherishing the strong professional and personal bond we have forged with her.”
