A Letter from a Parent: The Difference a Smile Can Make

August 30, 2016 by Surrey Place Staff

It’s amazing the difference a smile can make!  This letter from a parent made us smile.

“My son is currently in your IBI program at 120 Middlefield.

I am writing you because I am so amazed and impressed by the ladies and gentlemen working there.  Every day, they walk out to parents with true smiles on their faces to tell them about their child’s day, and though it’s important to put a smile on your face when addressing others, there is never one fake smile even when you know they dealt with some trying days.  These new changes in the programs concerning IBI and ABA would be enough to stress the sanest of people, and yet these amazing people addressed the most unsettled of parents very respectfully and very calmly.

I myself have an issue with traveling on the TTC alone when I was going to 120 Middlefield to discuss my son’s progress. I wanted to do it solo.  I felt I was ready and one of the therapists there worked with me to allow me to travel on my own.  My son has learned so much thanks to the work these people have done with him.  Congrats to whomever is responsible for choosing the staff at 120 Middlefield – don’t lose them they are an amazing, amazing group of people.

Every day these children come out with the brightest smiles on their face, the glow in them alone shows how incredible the people working with them are.”
