  • "I am incredibly impressed with how helpful and wonderful Grace Geno was on our recent visit! She was quickly able to get my shy 11yo, who always looks to mom for answers (we are working on her speaking for herself, and Ms. Geno picked up on this as well) comfortable to answer questions on her own. She explained what was going on with my daughter's hand to us both in a way which was easy to understand. She also gave my daughter the choice on how she wanted it to be treated. During the treatment, she explained everything she was doing and let my daughter know exactly what to expect."

  • "I wanted to comment that a few weeks/months ago my son needed a referral or some paperwork signed to switch from EI to our school district for OT & speech. The OT provider said they had never received a referral back from an office so quickly. I just wanted to say thank you, it’s greatly appreciated. We initially went to SWP for the Camillus location but are more than happy to travel to Liverpool as I feel he receives great care and attention. Thanks for all you do."
