She frequently sat with an open mouth posture and her tongue would protrude. We have been seeing Tina for a year and have seen tremendous improvement in the overall function of her tongue and she is now frequently caught sitting with her mouth and tongue in their proper resting positions. We are so grateful & while we are not finished with the therapy we are so happy with her progress.

Our 17-month-old saw Mohini for about five sessions, and we were so pleased with the progress we…read moresaw in such a short time. After just a few sessions, he started to really find his voice using some of the techniques and exercises Mohini taught us. As first-time parents, we also found the sessions incredibly educational. Mohini not only worked directly with our son, but also gave us practical guidance on how to encourage and foster communication and language development at home. We left each session with a better understanding of how to support him in everyday interactions.

Talky Tots came highly recommended by both a neighbor and my son's school, and every bit of praise…read moreis absolutely deserved by the entire team. Our son worked one-on-one with Sarah for about a year, and the transformation in his speech was nothing short of remarkable. He went from being far behind his classmates to meeting--and in many cases surpassing--their speech levels. What sets Sarah apart is not only her incredible skill as a teacher, but also her ability to truly connect with her students. She taught our son in ways that resonated with him, making each session engaging and effective. Most importantly, she built such a strong bond with him that he would look forward to their time together and was genuinely sad when their sessions ended. We are beyond grateful for the impact Sarah has had on our son's life. If you are considering speech therapy, I cannot recommend Sarah and the Talky Tots team highly enough.

Miss Alyssa is an absolutely phenomenal speech-language pathologist. I was searching for a private…read morespeech therapist after a long wait with our insurance. I am so grateful to have come in contact with Miss Alyssa. My son has made extensive progress with his speech and Miss Alyssa has such a great connection with children to keep them engaged, focused and excited about the lesson. She constantly brings new ideas, new games, etc so my son is never bored and the focus of speech is always the center of the activities. His Pediatrician has noticed the improvement in his speech as well. I highly recommend Leap Speech & Language Therapy. Our entire family couldn't be happier with her services.

We had the pleasure of working with Alyssa thru SDRC. Our toddler, who was about 6 months delayed,…read moreworked weekly with her for over a year. Alyssa was professional and engaging. She brought a bag of books and toys which she would switch out to keep our daughter interested. Even when my toddler was being difficult, she did her best to find an activity that she enjoyed while working on her speech. She openly addressed my concerns and gave me tools to help my daughter work on her speech outside of therapy. Our daughter went from sounding out one syllable words to speaking full sentences. At the end of our sessions, she was evaluated by the SLP for her school district and they determined she was meeting the age appropriate milestones and did not need further speech therapy. I highly recommend Alyssa if you are looking for an SLP!

I cannot say enough good things about speech n motion. We see miss rebecca, and she has been a…read moremiracle worker for my son. We have been to so many other speech facilities, and had really bad experiences. I feel so fortunate to have found speech n motion. Miss Rebecca has helped my non verbal son to say so many words. She has also been working with him on his AAC device, she has advocated for him with his school team, and attended school meetings to advocate for his speech services. Helping children with communication is a true act of love for miss rebecca and her team. My son's last 2 speech therapist were discharging him because he wasn't making progress. They didn't believe he could do more, and miss rebecca truly believes in my son. I couldn't ask for more.

All three have made us feel so comfortable and they have always loved on our super active hyper crazy cute son! :) But back to speech, they all have been so crucial in his speech development, including some guidance, homework, and training for us parents. I have loved being included in each of his sessions, its helped me as a parent learn how to prompt or push him. I have laughed, smiled, and cried with them as we have watched special moments occur, like saying his name for the first time recently, finishing a full word rather than a sound, and going from imitation to independent words. When we first learned of Maddy's diagnosis it felt like a punch to the gut! Hearing that he "MIGHT have words" crushed me.... but man I am so thankful that after that, we were connected with this place. They have been a Godsend and I would recommend any of them happily and whole heartedly!!!!

She always makes each session engaging, fun, and goes the extra mile to make them personal as well. Even making books of adventures we've been on so our son can learn speech progression through personal narrative. He loves going to the office! We also appreciate the detailed approach to be on the forefront of learning. As our son grows, she reevaluates and has new goals and approaches. It always feels very personal to him and his speech progress. We always feel heard and she will make time to communicate through any questions we have. Honestly, speech and development can feel overwhelming as a parent, and we are so glad we have an advocate like Kat. Highly recommend as a parent!

Tessa assessed our daughter's needs immediately and has taught her so much already. Tessa has a way of making challenging tasks fun!

Many of our extended family members have commented on the growth they've noticed, as well. On a separate note, it's also been a pleasure working with the office manager, Patty. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

In the past few years I have explored the world of holistic healing, but it took me a while to find…read morea holistic dentist. After a consult with one, I was told my mouth was smaller than average and I was a candidate for sleep apnea. Now that I'm 30, I am trying to think about long-term health and prevention as I age. So this led me down a rabbit hole of research and reading to figure out what to do. When I found my current holistic dentist, she recommended me to Suzanne for myofunctional therapy. I was excited about the idea of helping my mouth health in a non-invasive way. Suzanne did not disappoint. In our consultation she was thorough and organized, approaching my mouth history and evaluation gently and in a way that made me feel comfortable. We started our sessions the following week. She had my bag of mouth props at the ready and my sheet with that week's exercises. She showed each exercise and made sure I got it before moving on. Keep in mind myofunctional therapy sometimes involves sticking random objects in your mouth. The day after I started therapy I woke up with a sore throat and sent Suzanne a minor freak-out text. But she was calm and collected, telling me she was happy to accommodate my needs. We omitted a couple exercises, modified a couple others, and now, after she shows me the new exercises, I look online for alternatives that I can disinfect or dishwash (so far I've found titanium chopsticks instead of wooden, silicone wine stoppers instead of plastic buttons, and noodles instead of string!) It's amazing how unconscious we can be of how we breathe, how tightly we close our mouths, and where the tongue sits in the mouth. After 8 intensive weeks working with Suzanne, I noticed a huge difference in my breathing, my tongue strength, and lip strength. The other day I found an old photo from a few years ago and could see how much I was struggling to keep my lips closed. Now I look in the mirror and my lips look relaxed while closed. I still have more progress to make, but can't stop talking about my myofunctional therapy with friends and family. At first it seemed like a lot of money, but Suzanne also worked with me on a payment plan. She is such a delight to work with and the industry is lucky to have her! She is so committed to her patients and her field. And rightfully so--it's undeniable that this therapy actually works!
