" I’m the Director at Children of Joy! Preschool and Shelley has been a lifesaver! She has been working with a few of our families as well as within our classrooms. Connecting the dots between home and school has helped the kid’s grow so much! She has also been able to encourage my teachers when they are on the right track and offer suggestions when they are struggling. Shelley has become my go-to recommendation for families or children in need. She is amazing at what she does and loves her kids fiercely!"

"Shelley has been a lifesaver for our family. She came highly recommended to us and we quickly found out why. She loved both of our kiddos from the day she met them. She is changing our lives for the better, making things easier with our son and his behavior. He loves visits from Ms. Shelley, as do I. She is so invested in each child. She is always checking in on our son (and me) to see how it is going. She is full of fantastic ideas and great advice. She even helped us through a rough Christmas Day. Even when our son "graduated" she still checked in from time to time, and came back with open arms when we needed her again. We all love Ms. Shelley. She is helping our family so much and I am so grateful for asking for her help when things got rough. I can't say enough about how amazing she is."

"Oh Mrs. Shelley! She is Graysen’s absolute favorite person. He gets so excited to see her. She is also one of my favorite people. It is not being dramatic to say that she has changed our hope and future for our little guy. She always, always, always is enthusiastic and shows her love non stop. She always makes his exercises fun and engaging. Graysen knows that she is his biggest fan and cheerleader (along with mom). Mrs. Shelley and I have both cried over his accomplishments. I truly feel like she was given this talent from God, and I’m so grateful she is using it. We can’t say enough wonderful things about her. After one summer (where we didn’t even see her every week cuz of vacation schedules and such), Graysen has already mastered his first goal we had and is so close to completely his other goals. Can’t say enough amazing things about Mrs. Shelley. So grateful to have her in our lives."

"Where do I begin? Simply put, Shelley is amazing! My ten year old daughter was a late autism and mild intellectual disability diagnosis just within these last two years. It breaks my mommy heart when my special girl struggles and all I want is to give her the help she needs. Enter Shelley!!! She just gets it. She listens. She understands. She helps. She empowers. I am in awe of her compassion, assessment, strategies, playful activities, recommendations, and dedication. She has been the best support for my girl, me, and our family. Shelley truly has made all the difference."

"We didn't know we were missing out on anything until we met Mrs. Wetzel. She had the ability to show my son what he is capable of doing, creating a bond they still have today. She builds a trusting relationship through knowledge, determination and expectation that will change your life. "

"I am a preschool teacher here in The Woodlands and have had the great pleasure of working with Shelley this year. She has helped me plan and implement several classroom strategies to help with behavior modification and sensory integration in my classroom. She is excellent at listening to the needs of teachers, parents and the child in order to develop a child centered plan that gets results. I highly recommend Shelley and am grateful for all of her help this year."

"Isabel loves Shelley & Empowered to Play! We were very fortunate to cross paths with Shelley and try something new for Isabel since she has delays in fine & gross motor skills. The progress has been amazing! She started working with Shelley in October 2017 and we have seen real results in just a couple of months. Isabel was in OT for over a year with no significant progress. Shelley truly cares about Isabel & is her biggest cheerleader. Shelley is able to communicate, motivate, and push our daughter to try new things. They have so much fun “playing” that I don’t think Isabel even knows she is doing work. Shelley provides detailed updates and is so in tune with Isabel’s needs. Empowered to Play was the missing piece to our puzzle for Isabel’s therapy plan and we are so happy with her continued progress. The highlight of Isabel’s week is definitely seeing Mrs Shelley!"

"Shelley has been amazing for my 12 year old son Devon! He has never "qualified" for occupational therapy services, yet has low muscle tone and a weak grip. At 12 this was really starting to effect his self esteem and he had made all sorts of his own accommodations to work around these issues - mostly avoiding things. Shelley and he work out together doing strengthening exercises as well as fine Motor activities to improve his muscle tone and grip strength. The key is that they workout in a fun and motivating way. And Devons much more willing to do these exercises with Shelley than he's ever been with my husband and I (go figure). Shelley is kind of the ideal therapist for a boy as they are talking and problem solving but doing so while exercising and moving -- just exactly what we all know boys need most!"
