Rosalie Seymour: Client AIT Testimonial
"My
son, Iain Marais was a patient of Rosalie's at the age of 7. He's now 23
and a wonderful young man. He matriculated, completed college, he
drives, he is employed in the IT business and has exceeded ALL
predictions! We will always be grateful to Rosalie for her assistance.
She was the one person that gave us hope... and we wondered what had
happened to her. May you always be blessed, Rosalie."
from AIT Parent, Bev Arnold
Marais, South Africa.
