Testimonials
Iona changed our life! My son was born at 25 weeks and had a very long Nicu stay. He was seen at RUSK from a very young age and grew a lot. At first he gagged and threw up from any texture and would only drink bottles. Up until he was 2.5. Iona got him to desensitize slowly to different textures and now he is eating 3 meals a day. It is amazing to see and the most rewarding because we worked very hard to get him to eat. She always taught him many words at first he was only babbling till 20 months. He now puts 2-3 words together and follows directions. Iona is so patient, motivated, confident and eager to get the child to where they need to be. Iona listened to my concerns and goals I wanted for my son and I am so happy with her amazing results. There is no one better out there!!!

Iona is a godsend. As a toddler, our daughter was several months behind her peers but with Iona’s help and guidance, she was brought to the appropriate level over a short period of time. Iona then proceeded to work with our two boys, too. All 3 of our children have benefited so much from Iona. They all loved going to Iona and would look forward to working with “Ms Iona”. We will always be so grateful to Iona and what she has done to help our children. She means a lot to our family.

Meeting Iona was life changing. The first day we met Iona I sat patiently waiting for the evaluation and felt hopeless. This had been our second time trying to get the help that my son needed. After the evaluation Iona let me know what was wrong with my son. She explained my son was hearing us as if he was under water because of fluid in his ear. I was baffled and asked a ton of questions. Iona further explained he would need surgery to remove the fluid, and tubes would need to be placed in his ear. The assurance in her voice and demeanor was everything I needed. She took her time and explained everything, so I knew what to expect. The ENT confirmed what Iona said and surgery was scheduled and my son started therapy. Iona was patient with my son and he made significant progress. Not only did he get his voice but his confidence increased. The changes we have seen have been absolutely amazing. His progress is undeniable because of Iona help and experience.
For context, My son was a few months shy of 3 years and was comprehending on maybe a 36 months level because of his speech. Today every milestone is being hit thanks to Iona. In fact, my son cannot stop talking and we can finally see his true personality. He is no longer shy and bashful. Iona experience is invaluable. She works with compassion and care. You can’t teach that in school. Eternally, grateful for Iona’s help. Pick the best and the best is Iona.
