In that amount of time I have a seem tremendous growth in his speech and awareness. They have given me tools that I cannot only used with my son but with other children that I work with. I just want to really thank the ladies for being so welcoming and helping me in my time of need. They have boosted myself esteem as being the best mom that I can be.

We chose Little Hands Speech Therapy to work with my daughter on speech and oral motor issues and…read moreloved that Kelli came to our home for the therapy. My daughter has a tendency to get easily distracted and she did wonderfully keeping her engaged yet still loving the therapy. In fact, my oldest daughter often wanted to join in on the fun. My daughter looked forward to her therapy each week and still asks when we can have Kelli come back. In addition to the in-person therapy, Kelli also provided us with fun exercises we could do on our own to supplement our learning and she also provided me support when working through an IEP re-evaluation. I couldn't ask for more!

Sonika is simply an amazing speech therapist. She worked with our son who was speech delayed for…read moreover a year, and the strides he made in that year are remarkable. Sonika met our son where he was and found ways to build connection early. That bond laid the foundation for his development, as his comfortability with her allowed for the working sessions to be friction free and productive. Sonika went above and beyond in her services, as she worked with our son in various environments to help him better navigate his world. Whether that was at home, in his preschool, at a park or even at a social event, she was there. He is now much more confident in his speech and can clearly communicate his wants, needs, and interests with adults and peers. Outside of her exceptional services, as a person, she is extremely professional, kind and empathetic. She was always on time and communicated goals, progress and lessons clearly. She showed up rain (snow storm) or shine, with great energy everytime. Our family highly recommends her.

Where do I even begin? Ms. Sonika has been absolutely incredible to work with. The growth we've…read moreseen in our son has been nothing short of amazing. Our journey started with a thorough evaluation and a clear, personalized plan to help expand our son's language skills -- and it truly worked. We began seeing improvement within just a few weeks, and now, a little over a year later, the transformation is incredible. Ms. Sonika met our son exactly where he was. She struck the perfect balance in sessions -- warm and flexible, yet firm when needed. She set age-appropriate expectations and boundaries, and gently but consistently encouraged him to reach them week after week. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that speech therapy has changed our son's life. He can now express himself confidently and has the language skills to engage in meaningful conversations with friends and family. We are beyond grateful for Ms. Sonika. Our time in therapy has come to an end, and our boy is leaving confident, capable, and well equipped for the future. We couldn't have asked for a better therapist.

She is so fun and positive, and the love that she has for him and the joy that she takes from seeing him succeed is incredible. She has helped him with his reading comprehension, his conversation skills, and his ability to verbalize his thoughts more clearly. She tailors her lessons to his needs and his favorite things, using Minecraft and Super Mario timers and videos for short breaks to incentivize him. Alex and Pooja are brilliant and caring; I can't recommend them enough.

Progressive Speech Therapy has literally been an answer to prayer. They are absolutely amazing! I…read morecan't say enough about them! My son has been attending speech therapy for about a month now, and he has made more progress with his speech problems in the past month than he has in the two years prior, while attending a county speech program. My sons areas of concern are a phonological disorder, language disorder, and motor planning issues/borderline childhood apraxia. Pooja and Katie are outstanding...they are extremely knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, and are extremely gifted with kids. If you are on the fence about whether to pursue private speech therapy, PLEASE do it! I promise you will not be disappointed!

We have been going to McLean Speech for over 13 years now. The professional and highly qualified therapists have made a huge difference in the way all of my children and our friends children speak, communicate, understand and interact with the world. They take the time to bond with the child but also take the time to give solid advice and help to find ways forward for those who feel stuck and are not sure how to best support their child. I have nothing but praise and accolades for Mclean Speech and Language. If you find yourself looking for a good place to turn I would highly recommend giving them a call.

Am I really the first?…read more My son sees Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Magdelena for OT and Speech. He used to see Jo Ann until the scheduling didn't work out. They have two locations: Annandale and McLean. We've been to both. The Annandale location is closer to us to drive to from Loudoun County, although I prefer the McLean location...because there are more things to do while waiting. Annandale not so much, you have to sit put. We've been very very happy with Skill Builders and my son gets excited to see his therapists each visit. I mean he runs happy from the car to the office and can't wait, especially for Ms. Lindsay for OT. We drive an hour each way from the next county over just to come here.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Skill Builders. Our family has used Skill Builders for…read moreover 7 years from our first child with speech and language delay to our children diagnosed with Autism. Cari is the nicest person you will ever meet. She advocates for all her clients and goes that extra mile to match your child with the perfect therapist. It always helps that she hires only the best therapists in Northern VA. Everyone at Skill Builders is amazing and we owe so much to the company and their therapists. Thank you for always being there for our family and helping all our children being their best selves! My children still talk about how they miss Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Fern! My daughter adores Ms. Katie and it's the best day of her week when she gets to go to Skill Builders. Literally dances her way into the office singing her " Im going to see Ms Katie" song! We love Cari and she really advocates for our children not only in the office but in our community of special needs children. You want a pro like Cari on your side and you see this is more than just a job for her. I would trust Cari with my life! Skill Builders has transformed my children and our family and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us!

My daughter went to speech here for about five to six months in 2017. She never really warmed up to…read morethe therapist but that wasn't necessarily the fault of the therapist. I'm giving them one star because of what happened after we stopped going. I had always paid my copay at the time of the visit every visit. At one point I asked if I had reached the maximum number of visits covered by insurance and was told that I had not yet and that when and if it happens they could ask for approval for more. We quit in late October 2017. I never heard anything about owing any money or that insurance had stopped paying until a year later when I received a letter from a collections agency for $112.28. I immediately called and spoke with Valerie who claims they sent me three bills that were never paid. I never received any bills from them. Because it was already in collections she claimed they couldn't do anything else. At no point did anyone call me to tell me my insurance visits had run out or that I owed any money. Since I had always paid my copay and never received anything from them I assumed that either I had not reached the maximum number of visits or that if I had that insurance had approved additional ones. Now this bill for $112.28 is on my credit report as past due and my credit is irreversibly damaged. I would think that after having established a personal relationship with the staff and the therapist and having always paid in full on the day of the visit, they could have reached out via email or phone. I'm extremely disappointed with how they treated us. As an update to this review. Over a year later, the collections is the only negative not perfect item on our credit report. Yet because of $112.28 the mortgage we are currently applying for will have a significantly higher rate. Our credit fell from 830 to 690 all because of the incompetency of CSTCs billing department. It is going to cost tens of thousands of dollars in extra interest. Words cannot express my discontent and frustration.

We appreciate how honest the therapist was about how she didn't see any underlying concerns with her in this area and was not pushy about continuing therapy sessions. But we did discuss perhaps occupational therapy to help her with feeding for future development. So we booked a few feeding OT sessions with Nadia and my daughter was in love with her from day 1. She was kind, patient and instantly connected with our daughter in trying to pin point the best way to encourage her to open up on how she interacts with food. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending speech therapy sessions at Fairfax Pediatric Therapy since early January…read more He is almost 9 and has always struggled with his "s," "sh," and "ch" sounds - but we waited to see if he would grow out of it (he didn't). On recommendation of our dentist, we tried some videos to help him with speech, but we were not successful on our own. After a Zoom call with Ariel and Ahmad, the speech therapist, we felt very confident and comfortable with Fairfax Pediatric Therapy. After the first session, my son made huge strides in his "sh" sounds - he was actually able to articulate it correctly, even if it was a struggle. Long story short, as of today (3 months after starting) Finn has met all of his speech goals and no longer needs the services. Both Ahmad and Finn worked hard to make this happen - and in such a short time. I didn't expect progress so fast, to be honest. Not only that - my kiddo actually looked forward to the sessions. Ahmad took the time to get to know his interests - chess and strategy games - and built the sessions around play. When we left today, for the last time, Finn said he was going to miss his friend. We have had the best experience! Thank you.
