“I am a mother of an 8 year old girl that receives therapy from Laura McGuckin at Children’s Developmental Center. I have seen a great improvement in her urination and bowel movement times. Laura is very welcoming and makes a safe and healthy environment in which my daughter feels safe and happy, I also feel good taking her there. Laura is very knowledgeable. I also learn with my daughter about her health and well being thanks to Laura. When I ask my daughter what she thinks of her physical therapy and Laura she said, ‘I like it Laura is really nice, I get to learn about my muscles that help me control my pee and poop, I like going because it’s good for me.'”
