Some Testimonials:
"MindScent® is especially good for children who are non-verbal” - Angel DeRuvo, MA CCC SLP PLLC, Staten Island, NY
"The possibilities for language use are endless! It allows us to use the sense of smell, which is something I've never been able to use in speech therapy prior. We can target things such as using a communication device or generating higher level writing activities which has been an exciting way to meet goals!" - Heather Palazzo, Speech Pathologist, MS CCC SLP, New Orleans, LA
