"Sharon, a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist and Trainer in the East Memphis area, has been working with children to maximize their leaning potential and raise their self-confidence in order to be successful. Her dedication to each child and her knack for pin-pointing and understanding the child’s special needs culminates into amazing changes in these children not only academically but also in their behavior as they begin to comprehend things on a level they have never reached before. Parents are marveling at this transformation and we, as a community, are fortunate to have Sharon working with and for our children."
