My son saw Susanne for about 2 years to help with his speech development after he stopped sucking…read morehis thumb. Honestly, cannot say enough good things about her. She made sure that we had the info we needed to work with him at home, and worked with his teacher so that he could get additional support in his classroom. She always went above and beyond, and was such an amazing support and resource for us during some challenging times and transitions. My son formed a genuine bond with her, and he actually teared up when he "graduated"! You can really tell she cares about the kids she helps! She is so knowledgeable and warm - it is rare to find someone who is experienced, excellent at what they do, and still can make your kid laugh and enjoy the session! She helped build my sons confidence and we are so grateful to her for all her care and consideration! She is AMAZING!!

In November, I had a procedure to remove papillomas (warts) from my vocal cords. A month later the…read morecords looked okay, but my voice quality was not good. My voice was raspy and inconsistent and it often felt like an effort just to speak. Not a voice that one wants as a teacher. My ENT referred me to Lisa Famiglietti. After 3 weeks of 30-minute sessions twice a week and another three weeks meeting once a week, (a total of 9 sessions) my voice is now better than it has been in years. I cannot speak too highly of her. She gave me back my voice. I recommend doing the sessions over Thera, which is like Zoom. You save time and gas money. The remote sessions worked perfectly for me. Once again, if you are unhappy with your voice quality, I highly recommend Lisa Famiglietti.

I never thought to leave a review before, probably because I started speech therapy right as the…read morepandemic started, but I cannot let another year go by without saying that going to Central Texas Speech Therapy helped me to begin getting my singing voice back after battling chronic Lyme disease and losing my singing voice. Lisa Famiglietti was my therapist and she is the best of the best. At the time I was working with her, I was a music teacher and my voice improved and I was able to sing with more ease with my church music team. I have since changed careers and am not singing anymore, but now that I am close to finishing a PhD, I have time and the bandwidth to start doing my speech therapy exercises again. I am glad I recorded all of my sessions with her three years ago. Lo and behold, my singing voice is coming back again. It feels good to sing again and feel resonance in my face and body again. I don't know why her therapy exercises work, but they do! Thank you for helping me to get my joy back Dr. Famiglietti!

After my son kept getting in trouble at school, a friend told me that he sounded like a 'sensory…read morekid'. I didn't know what that meant, but she suggested that he have an OT evaluation. After having an evaluation at kidventures, the OT took the time to explain Sensory processing disorder and she gave me lots of resources that my husband and I could implement at home. My son loves going to "play" there and he talks about the "big gym" all the time! His OT did a school visit and kept in contact with his teacher to help her understand his behaviors and sensory needs. It's amazing that he can sit still through circle time now and is much better at following directions. He is even more coordinated and able to keep up with his friends during sports activities. The best part has been that his confidence has grown and we are so grateful for the services here.

Attending therapy services at Kidventures has been a game-changer for our family. I had been at…read moreanother therapy center for several months, with no noticable improvements in my daughter. I was starting to doubt the value of occupational therapy when someone referred me to Kidventures. From the initial evaluation, I could tell that they GOT my daughter. They REALLY SAW HER, so the plan that was developed was specific to her needs/goals. They knew what/when/how to tackle the issues to help her develop. I was included every step of the way and encouraged to participate. I received valuable feedback after every session and was given suggestions for things I could do at home to further help. My daughter is now a different little girl-she's mastered so many skills and continues to amaze me with her progress! Her physical abilities, as well as the ease with which we now move though our lives (those difficult transitions are sooo much easier!) make for happier days immediately and long term hope for a bright future. I can't thank Jen, Angie and the staff at Kidventures enough. If you are a fellow parent of a child with special needs, I know you want to trust your child to capable AND caring hands. That's what you'll find at Kidventures!

We took our son to Marcus at Mlee for over 4 years. The impact was huge. Our son was barely…read morespeaking when he first started going. We tried a lot of traditional speech therapy centers in town that had no impact.

He made sure to understand the underlying issues, not just the surface symptoms. I really like how he uses several types of therapy to help solve the same delay. He makes great effort to treat the whole child, not just the one or two symptoms you describe. Within 3 months of working with him, we understood what was causing my child's delay's and started to see real traction in his progress. Less than a year later, we have just graduated and still see daily improvement. Thank you Marcus!

There are not enough words to truly express what Audrie Thomas and From the Heart Therapy have…read moremeant to our family. Audrie has been walking alongside my daughter since she was 4 years old. She didn't just step in during the easy moments, she stood with us through some of the hardest seasons, including intense aggression and behaviors that felt overwhelming and, at times, isolating as a parent. And she never wavered. Audrie showed up with patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of my daughter that went far beyond therapy techniques. She saw her for who she is underneath it all, and she helped us see her that way too. Because there were times we felt hopeless. Because of that, I am now watching my daughter grow into the most beautiful version of herself. The progress she has made emotionally, behaviorally, and developmentally is something I once only hoped for. Audrie and From The Heart didn't just help my daughter, they helped our entire family navigate this journey with more clarity, compassion, and hope. If you are in a place where things feel heavy or uncertain, and you just want someone who truly gets it and will not give up on your child, From The Heart and Audrie is that person.

She has been learning to talk again and, with Daniels help, has made drastic strides. Her voice is coming back, she is able to speak in sentences again, and has bragged about her therapy to me repeatedly. After having met him today, I had to leave a review to make sure others know that if I am ever in a situation where a speech therapist is needed, I would seek out Daniel and Speech Without Limits without hesitation. He is skilled at what he does and has worked a miracle with my mother. If you are searching for a speech therapist or pathologist, I highly recommend you reaching out to Daniel.

My daughter is a young mother but the disrespect lately is totally uncalled for. She is also discussing my granddaughters services with the director of the center! They need a HIPPA and positive communication training with staff. The only time she had to cancel services was due to her child having the flu and her running late 10 minutes due to car issues. Below you will find a text message to my daughter. Today my daughter was only taking her to preschool for her speech and she receives this text message from her at 1:28pm. Apparently she had already spoken with the director of the school and told she was absent. All communication should start with my daughter first.
