Roisin is an excellent speech therapist. She is incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful. She is extremely caring and warm. Her techniques are not only effective but fun. Our son loves his sessions with her. We are very grateful that she is our therapist and look forward to his continued progression under her guidance. read more

The very, very best. Life-changingly good. We haven't had care for our son this effective, personal, affirming and loving anywhere else.

Roisin's gentle and thoughtful approach to speech therapy was such a blessing for our son. He is autistic and has a speech delay, but he took to her from the very first day and was always very affectionate with her. When we started seeing Roisin, we were immediately impressed with her and the way she interacted with our son. Not only was she educating him to use more language and engage in speech, but in the process, she was also giving us the correct tools to use in order to encourage and continue his education at home. She is nurturing, and kind and will find creative ways to keep our child engaged. I strongly highly recommend her your child's speech therapy needs. Our only regret is no longer having enough time in our son's schedule to continue seeing her. We don't know if we may ever find another speech therapist that could replicate the quality of her work. read more

Róisín is simply the best of the best at what she does and I am eternally grateful that we found her. At two years old, my son was only saying a few sounds and words and although our pediatrician didn't seem all that worried, I felt like we should explore our options. He recommended a speech therapist who had a four month waiting list for a simple diagnostic evaluation. Four months is an eternity when your child is two! I found Echo Speech Therapy on Yelp and Róisín was able to squeeze us in a few weeks later. She not only evaluated him, she helped us connect with Regional Center (our ped had never mentioned it as an option), which provides free services for kids under 3. During the 2-3 months we worked with Róisín as we waited for Regional Center services to kick in, I saw tremendous improvement in my son. She also taught us methods for working with him on our own which I still use to this day. In the six month period that followed our evaluation with Róisín, my son went from saying just a handful of sounds ("mama," "baba") to speaking in 3-5 word sentences ("Daddy out and mama too!"), singing, mimicking everything we say, counting, engaging with us, chattering constantly, "reading" entire books to us, enunciating more clearly, having fewer tantrums because he's less frustrated overall ... an across-the-board improvement that has been amazing to witness. And I credit Róisín 100% with setting us up on the path to success. The only downside is she set the bar SO HIGH and we are now much more critical of our RC speech therapists. If we had never worked with her, we wouldn't know what a great speech therapist looks like, or what to do when our so-so therapists aren't making progress. After we had transitioned, I mentioned to our first therapist that it was frustrating that my son never said the word "yes" and instead used "no" even when he did want something (and then would get upset when we didn't give it to him). She did absolutely nothing with this information, so I thought "What Would Róisín Do?" and I came up with a little game to get him to say "yes." Within a day or two he was saying "yes" regularly, which in turn seemed to lead to a huge cognitive leap for him. So even though we are no longer with Róisín, she is still helping us all the time and my son is making progress because she taught us how to be great speech therapists for him at home. read more

Roisin worked with my daughter for several months last year, and I can't thank her enough for how much she has helped my girl overcome stuttering. My daughter no longer has stuttering episodes and is thriving at school! Roisin is extremely knowledgable and skilled, but most importantly, she knows how to work with little children. My daughter absolutely loved her sessions with Roisin! I also found Roisin to be empathic and supportive to parents who are learning to cope with kids' speech struggles. I highly recommend Echo Speech! read more

We are so grateful we found Roisin for our now very chatty 3 year old. When my son was around 18 months he was only saying two or 3 words. We saw immediate improvement after one session. Roisin immediately put us at ease as concerned parents, and my son adored her. Highly recommend Echo Speech Therapy, thank you Roisin!! read more

Julia at Echo Speech Therapy is not only top notch in her field as a speech therapist, but as a person as well. She is one of my colleagues whom I've worked with through the years, and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about her. She ALWAYS goes above the call of duty with a smile on her face, and never a bad attitude. Her expertise far outweighs the rest!! Five stars for Echo Speech Therapy! read more

If there were more stars I'd give them. Roisin is AMAZING. My son was having a tough time saying his own name and he didn't want to start kinder like that. Within the FIRST session he was saying his own name properly. Echo Speech Therapy is very knowledgable and professional and makes you so at ease with the process of speech therapy, it's like a fun one and one class for the children and they are so proud to show off their new skills!! read more

My son has autism and severe speech delays, and I brought him to Julia for speech therapy. She is not only an amazing speech therapist (she got him speaking like crazy), but an incredible person too! She is incredibly kind, very enthusiastic and you can tell that she is really passionate about the work she does. She is as good as it gets!! read more

Roisin worked with my 3 year old son on his stutter and she was AMAZING. So incredibly knowledgable and accommodating. My son loved her visits and his speech improved incredibly under her care. She addressed all my concerns with thoughtfulness and encouragement. I trust her completely. I would recommend her for any speech issue--she is incredible. 10 stars if I could! =) read more

When my son was 18 months old he was saying only a handful of words and of course, as a mom, I started to get worried. I kept hearing two things: wait, wait, wait your son will be just fine and will definitely be talking by 2. The other side was do not wait, its better to be safe than sorry then to find out down the road that you could have caught a myriad of issues before they got worse. So I emailed Echo Speech Therapy and got Roisin who is the kindest, warmest and most honest person imaginable. After giving us many options, I decided to have Roisin out on a weekly basis in hopes of kickstarting a language boom in my son. And that is exactly what we got! On her first visit out my son learned a new word which blew me away. A month later he was doing 2 word sentences and had at least 25 more words. It was amazing how she worked because it didn't seem like work at all, it was fun and playful and very stress free and my son blossomed when he was with her. In fact he would try and show off new words and sounds when she came over each week :) She also showed us very simple ways to communicate with him at home on a daily basis that worked wonders in his language development. By age 2 he was doing full sentences and was not only caught up with his peers, but speaking better than most of them. He sings, does the alphabet, asks questions, expresses his wishes/dislikes and I can see a confidence in him that I have never seen before. He talks non stop!! Also, the frustration levels on both sides have gone down dramatically. As a parent, I can't recommend Echo Speech Therapy and Roisin more. Seriously, if you have any questions or doubt at all have them out for one visit. For me, the peace of mind and seeing my son grow into the confident young toddler he is today is so worth it I can't even begin to explain my gratitude. Thank you Roisin! read more

I couldn't be more grateful for the high quality one-on-one speech therapy that Roisin has given my son. He has received therapy in many different settings and having a therapist that comes to our home and models for us how to foster more language in his day-to-day routines has pushed his growth far faster than anything else we've tried. Roisin has been using the PROMPT technique with him and this seems to really help my son learn correct placement and new sounds. He gets so excited as soon as Roisin walks in the door and when she brings out her big bag of toys. She has such a natural way of getting him to communicate through play. My son has had therapy sessions with both Julia and Roisin and they are both incredibly professional, friendly and extremely competent at what they do. I strongly recommend Echo for anyone looking for high quality speech therapy. read more

My son, who has Down syndrome, received early intervention therapy from Roisin until we moved. I believe she was instrumental in helping him start talking. She used different tools and methods for language comprehension, expression, for mouth and tongue strengthening. Her sessions were challenging yet fun, so my son remained focused and attentive without knowing he was working! He loved his sessions and had a great rapport with Roisin and I think that's a testament to her knowledge and easy way with children. I recommend Echo Speech Therapy wholeheartedly! read more

My 5-year-old grandson, who has special needs, receives weekly speech therapy through Echo Speech Therapy while he's in my care. He absolutely loves his therapist, Roisin, who seems to have a magic way with him! She always includes him in planning his sessions, and I love how they tick off each activity as it's completed. This makes him feel as if he has some control, and he really responds positively! He has made impressive progress since starting with Echo. My undying thanks to Echo Speech Therapy! read more
