“Ashley Kim was such a vital part of our son's life. Working with him weekly for 4 years on life skills, social skills and goals helped him to grow in many ways. She never gave up on him and would always work through processes and struggles that he, or our family was having. She was always willing to talk things through with us and work out a solution. She was always there for him as a role model and supportive person, but over the years became part of our family. She truly wanted nothing but the best for our son and was always willing to put forth any effort that was needed to get him to achieve these goals. She is very professional, trustworthy, and reliable. I couldn't imagine where our son would be without her guidance.”
“Ashley was helpful to us as a family. She took her time to understand our child's needs and addressed them accordingly. She was patient with him, helping with self regulation and redirection when he needed it. Ashley also brought her educational background to help with our son, applying basic teaching techniques to help him learn math and language arts.”
