“Casey Halper is a rare treasure.  Her deep knowledge, dedication and warmth were just exactly what my family needed for our daughter who has fine motor issues. Faye always looked forward to Casey coming and playing with her and never noticed that the work they were doing was in any way therapy. I was always impressed by the thoughtful exercises they would do together as well as by the suggestions for parent follow-up.   We are deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Casey and for the substantial improvements we witnessed during their time together.  In the end, watching your child make gains is truly invaluable for a parent of a child with special challenges. “

“Casey's limitless enthusiasm and energy made OT engaging for my son.  Casey turned challenging activities into games for him.  Casey is intelligent, thoughtful and has a wonderful way with children which ensures their success.”
—Hilarie, parent of a Riverdale School first grader

"My kindergartener was struggling with his penmanship.  He was often frustrated and unwilling to draw or write at all.  We enlisted Casey's help and within a short period of time we saw a drastic improvement.  Not only is my son more confident, he is excited to do his exercises with Casey and looks forward to her visits.  He is clearly more skilled and confident in his writing and is eager to share his work with us.  We were so pleased with Casey and the results she has attained that we now have my second grader working with her to fine tune his penmanship, as well."
—Paula, parent of a PS 199 Kindergartener and Allen-Stevenson Private School second grader 

"When our son suffered a significant brain injury, Casey was our Occupational Therapist.  She was not only incredibly clinical, she was loving and caring with our son.  He looked forward to every session.  The activities were always fun, exciting, and challenging. We could not be more thankful to have had Casey in our life."

"Audrey was very professional and personable - my son loved working with her. Audrey has a keen ability to identify and address the speech and communication weaknesses my son exhibited in and out of the classroom. She used great strategies to improve his ability to work on multi-step directions, develop his vocabulary and increase his ability to focus. Audrey provided invaluable updates on his progress and worked collaboratively with the teachers and me to determine the strategies that best support my son’s learning style. Within time, my son became a confident learner and a happier child overall, and has been doing well ever since."

—Nadia, parent of pre-k student at Avenues: The World School

"Audrey is a fantastic therapist! She identified areas that our child needed to focus on and then effectively worked to strengthen her schoolwork, and organizational/study habits. Our child was so happy to see that the hard work paid off when she got a terrific report card. Audrey creates an individually tailored approach for each student and is always open to incorporating parent’s or teacher’s input. We have been delighted to work with Audrey."

—NYC parent of middle school student at Rodeph Sholom School

"My son has been working weekly with Audrey for two years. We have seen substantial improvements in his reading comprehension, his ability to analyze texts and make inferences - which has helped our son immensely for accomplishing his school work and performing well on standardized tests. Audrey thoughtfully chooses texts and topics to read that interest my son which makes their sessions enjoyable rather than tedious. After a long day at school, my son is happy to work with Audrey. In addition, Audrey keeps us informed of our son's progress as well as her upcoming lessons plans. While the goal may be similar, she is able to approach each session differently to keep our son engaged so it's not the same assignment every week. It's been a pleasure working with Audrey. "
