“Very happy with all of the speech sessions. Our therapist was always willing to answer and explain any questions I had in a way I could easily understand. She worked with me on the goals we focused on and really listened to my concerns. Most importantly my daughter LOVED seeing and “playing” with her each week.”

“We had more than a positive experience, our therapist was flexible, friendly and caring, our son was always happy to see her. Despite the pandemic, she made every effort to meet him either virtually or in person, even when we asked to meet at a local park, she was always ready to create a fun environment for him, innovative in every way to get him engaged. He has made a significant progress in his speech skills. She also made sure to equip us the parents to address his needs and help him to progress. We highly appreciate her help.”

“Our therapist really personalized all of my son's therapy sessions and always created interest and engagement in the work she did with him. They had a great bond! He always looked forward to their sessions!”

“We are deeply grateful for the expertise, compassion, and guidance Laura has provided to our child and family as a whole. She is a bright light in our lives. Thank you so very much for all that you do!”

“Dory Burns was very professional punctual and amazing with my son from barely talking to multiple words I never knew he knew. Thanks for having her on your team to help my son grow into a better version of himself."
