She knows how to teach in a very playful setting and is an absolute trooper to get the most out of the child she's working with!

Debbie has been working with our son for about 4 months, since a little after he turned two, when…read morehe was saying only a handful of consonants and one vowel. He learns something new almost every session (he said a new word after just their first session, after not saying any new words for 6 months!), and now his speech is really taking off. Debbie is PROMPT-certified, and this type of therapy seems to be very efficient in treating our son's speech motor planning difficulties. During their sessions, she can now cue him to say complete words, component by component. I am blown away listening to it. She has built an amazing rapport with our son so that he somehow sits still, completely engaged, for half-hour long sessions, tries to make sounds on command, and has fun the whole time. She is so positive, and encourages him to try without ever making him feel pressured. She also quickly got to know him and what would hold his interest. We are constantly impressed with her skill, professionalism, patience, and resourcefulness, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a speech therapist! I should also add that she has been very helpful providing me with all the necessary information to try and get speech therapy covered by insurance. And she is consistently on time or early to sessions. We feel so lucky to have found her, through the recommendation of the dentist that did our son's tongue tie surgery.

We highly recommend Debbie Shiwbalak for speech therapy. Debbie worked with our 2-year-old son (LP)…read moreon his speech delay, and she was amazing. LP's language comprehension was excellent, but he was saying very few words, but because he had no other delays, we didn't qualify for city-sponsored Early Intervention. We hired Debbie (reimbursed by our health insurance) and are glad we did. We loved the way Debbie immediately and directly engaged with LP, without any bureaucratic BS or adult-to-adult evaluations that might have made our kiddo uneasy. Instead, she went right to play time and language training, and LP, who can sometimes be reserved around new people, quickly and completely connected with her. Their playtime together was energetic, fun and most of all productive for his spoken language development. Debbie's manner of encouraging the flow of speech the course of natural interactions was very comforting. Her structured play time let LP have fun while it was also making it clear to him that he was there to learn. Her method of touching his face and mouth to encourage speech was gentle and natural, and LP clearly took to it. Meeting once or twice a week for about less than two months, Debbie taught us a lot about how to help LP talk more, and pretty soon he "graduated," as he's now repeating our words and excited to talk. All in all, we couldn't recommend Debbie more, so if your child is having any kind of speech issues, definitely contact Debbie.

Her patience, kindness, and love draw children near to her allowing them to quickly integrate her therapies to resolve speech issues. Her level of experience and commitment to her patients allows her to quickly identify pathology and start a focused treatment plan. Not only does she work well with children but also parents. Her guidance made me the best Mommy I could be for my son. He is now 5 years old and we moved out of NYC back to our home state of KY. Katie continues to offer resources and support over the phone as we navigate resources in a new location. I would highly recommend Katie. She is by far the best therapist we have worked with.

She immediately spots the problem and then, the miracle, has a method to address it. I thoroughly our sessions, which sometimes are hard work, as they not only help my voice and cough, but bring joy and an uplifting feeling. Thank you to her and her wonderful young staff.

My voice teacher suggested I see a speech therapist for my low to moderate case of Muscle Tension…read moreDysphonia (MTD) which causes me to get hoarse very easily when performing. I'm so grateful that my online research led me to Gaida. She has helped me find my true voice and taught me proper placement so I no longer strain my vocal chords. I now have a fun regiment of warm up exercises that I do on a daily basis and before every audition and performance. She also has a beautiful singing voice, and has helped me reach notes I thought were gone forever. And even more importantly, she has helped me address my swallowing/choking problems that used to hit me out of nowhere. Our sessions are productive and lots of fun. On top of being a professional and so easy to work with, she's an amazing sweet and fun person.
