My daughter has level 3 autism and has difficulty adapting to new environments and around new people. She was not cooperative, but Caris was extremely patient and worked with her to complete the tests. She brought in toys and did a great job interacting with my daughter, giving her time and space when she needed them. As a mom to a child with autism, I am always nervous when it comes to appointments, but Caris did great and answered all my questions. Not all caregivers are able to connect with a child with autism as well as Caris did, and I am grateful!
