Pediatric Therapy From the Parent's Perspective with Effie Parks
Do you ever wonder if you’re actually making a difference in the lives of your clients? Today, I’m bringing on Effie Parks to share her experience as a parent to a son with a rare genetic disease. Effie isn’t a practitioner, but her insight into what it’s like to be a caregiver for a kiddo who receives therapy will most certainly make you understand the impact you can have on your clients and their families.
