Testimonials

“We’ve been working with Leah for several months now and the progress our son has made with his speech has been incredible. He has been working on his speech since he was in the Birth to Three program and while we’ve seen some growth over the years, the improvement he’s made with Leah is truly remarkable. Leah is kind, patient and understanding. She takes the time to get to know not just our son, but also his interests and learning style, which makeseach session more engaging for him. Her approach has made such a positive impact on his development and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, thoughtful speech pathologist!”

“I am so happy we found Leah. From the first time she met my son she took the time to learn what motivates him and she incorporates that into every session so that he stays engaged and focused. Leah finds a way for him to have fun while working toward his speech goals. My son is always excited for his sessions and has made amazing improvements since we started with Leah. I can’t thank her enough and I also can’t recommend her enough!”
