Testimonials
MARIA, MUM
''Yiota is an excellent person and a wonderful professional. As a professional, she is not afraid to try all the techniques that will bring the desired result.- that is to communicate!
My son is 4 years old and still doesn't speak , however since he started with her he can communicate with us and his preschool staff using Makaton signs and has developed shared attention; Something that he wasn't able to do before. She is kind, calm and very patient.'' February 2023
