We struggled for years on trying to figure out what was going on with my daughter. We went through so many therapies, psychologists, evaluations and none of them fit or helped her. Our lives changed after meeting Dr. Ekdom. His evaluation results were spot on and we have been able to help my daughter work on each aspect of her diagnosis. We have made amazing strides and are very happy with where we are. More importantly - she’s happy and comfortable in her own skin.
