Very pleased as it eases my son as his previous MD who had retired. A very good fit due to his unique medical challenges and manages to understand a person with Down syndrome and on the autism spectrum disorder. Treats him with respect. My son Steven lost SOME of his vocal skills when he became ill. My son will show in some manner seal of approval.
