Star Language and Literacy

“Sarah took the time to get to know us as a family and understand how to best meet the needs of our daughter. Her initial focus was teaching us as parents the foundations of communication and how to model this to our daughter. This knowledge has been the backbone of all that we have done moving forward. We are so grateful to have this information under our belt!”

Many thanks to Sarah for the amazing work you do!"
