The relationships that LaDonna builds with employees, patients, families and the community are something that she holds very near to her heart.
Helping children and their families is always LaDonna’s number one priority. She looks forward to watching the kids learn new skills and have success generalizing those skills. When the children excitedly explain the success they just experienced during a session, that joy just cannot be matched.
