"My son underwent an On Track evaluation by Marcella. She was very thorough, communicated with empathy and addressed every one of my concerns while uncovering points of concern that I was unaware of. Marcella has a clear passion for therapy and is a wealth of knowledge. Our son has seen significant developmental improvements since applying the suggestions she made following our On Track evaluation."

“As a rehabilitation clinician who evaluates and treats individuals with cerebral palsy, the On Track assessment is a powerful tool that informs my evidence based practice. It has become an integral part of my practice allowing me to tailor my recommendations for the individual client, and allows me track my client’s growth and progress over time. The results of On Track assessment has allowed me to have richer and more in-depth discussions with families about goals of care as well. I am grateful to have such an evidence based resource to refer to that allows me to practice individualized precision medicine.”
