She was also great at educating us parents on strategies we could implement right away and gave us a framework for understanding the recommendations of other speech therapists. Months later, her recommendations still match our hospital's high standards and her techniques have more depth than even the premier hospital-provided speech sessions we've learned from. Her bedside manner was great with both us as adults and our child, and I'm impressed at her ability to adapt to build trust with our child.

My son came to Speech Goals for several months and attended a weekly group session with Miss Kathy…read more Kathy is great and creates a welcoming and fun environment for the kids. Each week, she would try and incorporate different activities that would appeal to the kids but still help them come out of their shells and develop their language skills. A lot of exercises would be around finding things around the room and helping the child name it out loud to build their confidence in using their words. There were also other set routines built into the class, such as the hello/goodbye song, playtime, snack time, and then music time. I've interacted with different members of the staff and other speech therapists through Speech Goals since my time here and I've been very impressed with the professionalism and genuine level of care everyone has for the kids that come through the program. The only thing I would wish to change is the level of parental involvement that is required. We came for two hours each week, which was really very difficult to do with a full-time work schedule. In fact, we qualified to come twice a week, four hours total, but I knew there was no way I could commit to doing that. It would be nice if there was an option where the classes were either shorter, or the parent could drop off the child and pick them up when class was over like some other speech programs do. Especially when a good amount of the two-hour block is spent during playtime, where the kids get free play in the facility's indoor play area. There is definitely a benefit in helping kids get their energy out and build their gross motor skills but I'd rather focus the time there on the specific exercises targeted toward his speech and take him to the park after work hours for playtime. But overall, Speech Goals can be a very valuable place to go to to help address early development needs for your toddler. Thank you for the partnership these last few months!

We had an incredible experience working with Shelly Parks, or Teacher Shelly, as our 4 year-old…read morecalled her, for over a year (Sep 2024-Dec 2025). Shelly was instrumental in helping our son meaningfully improve his speech, and helping us realize there were other issues at play in his ear/ nose/ throat system - that were causing significant fluid retention and drainage problems, hearing loss, ear pain, poor sleep, irritability, and more, thus impacting his speech and behavior. Thanks to Shelly, we were able to figure all of this out, get our son the help he needed, and, a year later, we have a transformed kid. What made Shelly a great speech therapist for our son? Shelly is very observant, noticing fine details we did not (including the broader ENT issue I described earlier); she worked at our kid's level - really meeting him where he was, being flexible (he can be stubborn!) but also clear and firm to ensure progression. Shelly has a kind demeanor, accepting our son for who he is, making him feel welcomed so he felt supported to learn (there were days when he'd refuse to go to school b/c he didn't feel comfortable there but he was always thrilled to go see "Teacher Shelly"). She took a very methodical, thorough and collaborative approach with us - tracking his progression with regular speech samples and communicating suggestions for us to incorporate into our interactions with our son. And finally, she really cared about his well-being. There was a point when our son's speech, hearing and behavior issues were causing challenges for him at school. We were unsuccessful at convincing his preschool teacher that it wasn't just bad behavior but a host of other interrelated challenges we were working on with him. They had just decided he was a troublemaker. When I shared this with Shelly, she was concerned they were getting him so wrong. She talked to them and helped them change their perspective, take what we were saying seriously, and become much better partners in our son's development and growth as a result. Shelly is an incredible speech-language pathologist. I'd recommend her to anyone - and especially to parents of young kids struggling with their speaking comprehension and hearing. There isn't enough I can say. Thank you, Shelly, for everything.

My experience at Wings Learning Center was extremely unprofessional and deeply disappointing…read more During my time there, my interactions with the program director were some of the most challenging I've encountered in any workplace. In my personal experience, her leadership style felt harsh, dismissive, and misaligned with what a supportive work environment should provide. I also found that the HR practices did not offer the support or fairness employees typically expect. When staff raised concerns, the environment often felt intimidating rather than collaborative, which made it difficult to feel safe speaking up. Like most work places always document everything. The leadership culture I encountered made it a difficult place to thrive.

She is incredibly kind, approachable, collaborative, and deeply knowledgeable, with a thoughtful understanding of child development that allows her to truly meet children where they are and gently scaffold growth from there. She has built such a warm, trusting relationship with our son, and it has been a joy to watch him continue to open up and grow with her support. Beyond our sessions, Dani has been incredibly generous with her guidance and connections, recommending other providers, preschools, and resources that have helped us start to build a wonderful team and supportive community around us. Her willingness to collaborate with everyone supporting our son has been invaluable and has made such a difference for our family. We continue to see our son grow and blossom, and we are so grateful to have Dani as part of our journey.

I just received an email from the coordinator on my availability a couple months back and that was it. I thought I was the only one going through this but spoke with another mom and same deal with her. If you are also in much need of speech therapy, do not wait for these folks!

This review is way overdue! Megan dePuy is an amazing speech therapist, and we feel incredibly…read morefortunate to have found her at just the right time for our son. We first reached out to Megan when our son was two and we suspected that he had a speech delay. From the very beginning, she developed such a wonderful rapport with him. Within just a few sessions, she was able to understand not only where his speech challenges were, but also which behaviors were simply part of his personality and the way he approached communication and learning. What impressed us most about Megan was how well she understood our son as a whole child. Her insights often went beyond speech and helped us, as parents, understand him better too: his strengths, his quirks, his learning style, and what motivated him. She had an incredible ability to distinguish between what he couldn't yet express because of his speech limitations and what was simply him. Her sessions were always play-based, thoughtful, and creative. She found fun ways to challenge him, and he genuinely loved going to see Megan and looked forward to his sessions with her. Our son has come such a long way and is now such a talker! We are so grateful for Megan's patience, dedication, insight, and the care she put into helping him communicate confidently. Megan has made such a meaningful difference for our son and for our family. We couldn't recommend her and Balanced Speech Therapy more highly.

If you're also seeking a speech therapist for your child, Megan should be at the top of your list. My then-21-month-old son began working with Megan over a year ago, when she quickly identified his Childhood Apraxia of Speech. At that time, he could only say one syllable, "dah." Now, his language and articulation have improved so dramatically that he's essentially caught up to his 3 year old peers. My wife and I are certain that this progress is largely thanks to Megan's dedicated, consistent work with him. She also built a wonderful bond with our son, making their regular sessions together as true highlights of his week. Now that his speech has progressed, we're sad to be finishing our time with Megan, but grateful for how profoundly she helped our family. We're so happy knowing she'll continue making a great difference for others as she did for us.
