What Clients Are Saying

Mom of a 3 year old 

"A year ago my son couldn't say his name, hi, or no. Now he has more words than I can count. You have an exceptional gift. You work so hard to understand him and his speech disorder. You've done an excellent job educating me on how to best help him and been so very patient with all of my questions."
