Referred by my child's pediatrician. 1. My child is…read morecurrently speaking only one word. 2. The evaluator recommended only one session per week. 3. We were told the waitlist was 3-6 months. Given the level of concern, this recommendation did not align with what we later learned. We sought a second opinion at another facility, where our child was evaluated as severe and now receives two sessions weekly, which has been much more appropriate for her needs. I would encourage parents to consider getting a second opinion rather than waiting, especially if there are significant delays.

Worried about my 3 year olds language skills I decided to have him evaluated by a speech therapist…read more I chose this group because it was on the top of my insurances list. He was seen by Jennifer Wilson who, after a mere 7 minutes, invited my into the therapy room (I noted the time so precisely because I remember glancing at my watch to notice that they were running a bit early in their appointments). Ms. Wilson told me that she believed, "with her many years of experience in speech therapy" that my son had autism. She informed me that she was not even able to complete the exam due to the severity of his issue: "He shows so many of the signs and symptoms..." She handed me pamphlets for an autism clinic that her staff personally recommend and informed me that there is really nothing I could have done or can do to help him now; that he needs to see a specialist. So I did just that. I had him evaluated by two different specialist: a pediatric autism specialist and an educational autism specialist at two separate groups. They both informed me that Ms. Wilson has absolutely no clue what she is talking about as my son shows not a single sign of autism. Both specialists told me that my sons biggest flaw was that he was simply shy, but that he was in no way autistic. My greatest concern is that this woman is diagnosing children as autistic due to it currently being a "fad diagnosis". My son was shy and did not feel comfortable answering her questions therefore she jumped to the most severe diagnosis that she could. Maybe she is receiving a kickback from referrals to the autism clinic. Maybe she just has no desire to work with children that are not interested in her. Whatever the reason she was utterly wrong, causing my family undue stress and worry, and I hope that this steers other families far away from this clinic.

Our 7y/o was referred to Center for Speech & Language early in 2014 by our insurance provider…read more Having previously received 6 months of pediatric speech therapy in North Carolina, with minimal progress, we were unsure of what to expect here in Alabama. After a few months of weekly sessions with Ms. Jennifer Wilson, our 7y/o is already 90% proficient in the areas that we initially sought treatment. This is a testament to the professionalism and skill of Ms. Wilson. Ms. Wilson is engaging and patient with our gregarious and charismatic child. Ms. Wilson treats our child with a high level of respect and encourages our child to practice correct speech at all times and in every situation. Most weeks, our child arrives directly from a long day at school, yet Ms. Wilson always manages to eek out 30 minutes of 'good stuff' from a child who no longer wants to focus or pay attention to more instruction. After reading the only Yelp review, we were unsure if this facility would be a good 'fit'; we could not have been more misguided. Ms. Wilson has never been anything but wonderful to our child and nothing short of respectful to us. In our opinion, and based upon the results that we have seen with our child, we have no reservations in recommending Ms. Wilson as a speech and language therapist. *With 3 children, we hold places that keep a tight schedule in high regard. Center for Speech & Language consistently respects our time and busy schedule. *Appointments routinely start and stop on time. *The office staff is excellent with conducting weekly appointment reminders as well as rescheduling appointments as needed. *Parking is tight, but never over-crowded.

As far as scheduling, office cancelled numerous appointments during our 11 month visit here. We received one testing evaluation and consult in that time frame. If you need any information regarding what testing is being done in regards to your children, they will not provide that information to ensure appropriate and needed testing is completed. As this can "skew results, and parents historically google". No online billing, calling the office for questions is deferred to email, and non current office policies regarding tele care. I do not recommend this office.
