I've had the pleasure of the service from the team at Premium Therapy for over 3 years. Katerina…read moreand her team are some of the warmest and empathetic individuals I've come across. This business is a real gem in the Inwood community. In my experience with speech pathologists their dedication is phenomenal, whether being flexible to a family's schedule to providing acute advice. In short I would recommend Premium Therapy highly to any parent. Addressing a negative review I read - Dealing with speech development issues can be a taxing event to any parent and it is very plausible for one to direct their frustration where it is unwarranted. With that said I want to put forth the following as my experience with the staff: i) the multi-lingual staff has always afforded the parents the ability to choose the language to carry out the sessions in, ii) Based on my conversations with other parents that bring their children here: The manifestation of traits that would benefit from consultation by a specialist are communicated as feedback rather than a diagnosis, and iii) ) I've never seen a child diagnosed with a condition other than a speech related matter.

My experience with Premium Therapy Speech Services was rather disappointing. I took my child there…read morebecause when I asked the pediatrician what I could do about my child's speech delay she said I should have him evaluated. After calling the first time I was promised a call back for an appointment but after a few days I had to call back myself to ask again. Communication and organization was really not great. When I took my child there, I have to admit the place looked nice and people were welcoming. Well, appearances can be deceptive. After the paid evaluation took place, I had to call three times (again !) to get a report which was useless because it didn't take into account (and admitted so) the multilingual aspect. After that bad experience I researched a little bit about speech therapy and found out that a child's vocabulary had to be evaluated by adding the words in all languages. Anyway, to make a long story short I took my child to another therapist a couple of months later and my child has progressed a lot. He started Pre-K in a bilingual school in September and his speech has improved a lot in both languages. PS : Any reviewer who claims any business is the best in the 5 boroughs either is lying or hasn't seen a lot of New York. It's fine for a pizza place but a child's speech development is serious matter.

I was made aware of my daughter Londyn's speech disorder by her then teachers at Preschool. It…read morecame as such a shock because I was able to understand every word she spoke clearly. I immediately scheduled an appointment with her pediatrician and once again it was confirmed Londyn has an impairment. I spoke with several speech pathologists in my area, however no one seemed to fit, whether it was scheduling flexibility price or personality. I was referred to Having Our Say by Londyns preschool. From our very first evaluation, Shontaye was very professional warm and welcoming. She identified all of Londyns deficiencies and devised a plan best suited for Londyn to succeed. Shontaye worked with Londyn 2-3 times weekly for over a year. Together they worked on reading exercises and making Londyn aware of which sounds come from throat or the roof of her mouth. Shontaye also reinforced positive techniques such as reminding Londyn to speak like a turtle (because she spoke very fast) so that she can be better understood. That is actually a technique that we still use to date and I've made her current teachers aware of. Shontaye created a solid foundation for Londyn to be conscientious of her pronunciation and speed in which she speaks. Londyn has developed confidence and is less frustrated when speaking in public. Londyn has had two speaking parts at her school in front of large audiences and I believe that is all attributed to Having Our Say. Thank you for time flexibility in schedule and efforts. Your commitment to Londyns growth and development will last a life time.

He has had GREAT improvements with the help of the above therapists. Thank you again. If you need Speech, OT, PT come here and ask for one of the above!!!
