Patch: What's the most common piece of advice you give to customers?
Michael Johnston: Don't worry about labels or disabilities. We focus on development of skills and abilities - that often just need the right practice opportunities with a program like ours. Start with an assessment, and talk about what you'd like your child to be able to to do instead of a focus on what they (currently) may not be able to do.
