Our son started his speech services at Jabberdogs back in Nov 2022. He was about 2.5 years old by…read morethen but was very delayed with his expressive language (at that time he was only approximating most his words and only able to actually say just a handful of words). But with the help of the wonderful & genuine speech therapist at Jabberdogs within 6 months he has made SO MUCH progress and is now saying 5+ word sentences and improving more and more. Ms. Samantha has been helping our son since day one and she goes ABOVE and BEYOND what is expected. The therapists would even give us parents tools and methods we could help practice with our kiddos. Ms. Anna, Ms. Megan and even Ms. Stephanie have been so helpful with our son's journey as well. There was a season where we were going back and forth with different therapists but that was because they were trying to accommodate US when my son started preschool. Management has been so flexible, understanding & accommodating to my family as we navigate our changing schedules. They also keep all the rooms, and areas well kept and clean with lots of books and toys in the waiting area. There is also ample parking at the location as well as free Wifi connection for parents that need to work while waiting for their kiddos. The Jabberdogs team has been so kind and welcoming to my whole family. We are so blessed to have their team help my son out and begin his speech therapy here. If any parent is considering them for their speech service, look no further! I guarantee you will not regret it

Our 7-year-old daughter has been working with Ms. Jessica for the past two years, and we are beyond…read moregrateful for the incredible progress and love she's poured into every session. She has truly been a light throughout our special needs journey -- kind, patient, professional, and always believing in our daughter's potential. Thanks to Ms. Jess' guidance, our daughter's receptive language has blossomed. She understands so much more and engages with the world around her in beautiful new ways. We continue to work together on expressive communication, and every step forward is a victory we celebrate together. What sets Ms. Jess apart is her genuine dedication. She goes above and beyond to learn more about our daughter's AAC device and Proloquo software, making sure she can communicate in ways that feel natural and empowering. She takes time to individualize every activity and helps us as parents feel confident continuing those strategies at home. Ms. Jessica's compassion, creativity, and commitment make her one in a million. For any family seeking an exceptional speech therapist who truly cares, I can't recommend her enough.

Marcy (who works in the front desk) is very knowledgeable about the regional center and has contacts to help expedite the process. We've worked with Brittney for about a year and a half, and she has been instrumental in helping my daughter gain the confidence and skills to work on her expression. The therapy is play based and she makes it fun! We consider her more than our therapist, but a friend. Cheryl is amazing as well. She is sweet and is great at getting shy kids to open up. If you're looking for a speech therapy center in the Pasadena/La Canada area look no further!!

Excelent therapists we worked with Britney and Jenny im so thankfull for them, is a plus they also offer therapy in spanish, for my girl that's her first language; 2 times a week one session was in spanish the other in english, i am very happy with the results and their professionalism. If you have any questions regardind their services don't hesitate to call them Marci the recepcionist will give you all the necessary information and make you feel that you are in the best place to help your little ones grow.

My son just graduated out of speech and we are over the moon…read more As I'm writing this, I'm reflecting on the mind blowing progress my son has made in just 3 years with the incredible help of Mrs. Teresa. When we first started here, my son was speech delayed and no one understood the few words he did say. Mrs. Teresa was able to target his problem areas and gave my son the tools he needed to communicate clearly and effectively. Mrs. Teresa is kind, gentle, patient, stern when needed, and truly invested in my son's growth and progress. They worked hard together during sessions, and she always rewarded my son with play time at the end which he appreciated. She always pushed and challenged him -- every session the improvement was undeniable. My son is a better speaker, a more confident communicator, and is able to focus and apply himself so much more now. I have a daughter at a different clinic who has now seen several different therapists, and I truly don't think with them all combined they could do what Mrs. Teresa does. She is an expert in the field and my son and I were truly blessed to work with her! Shout out to Miss Rosa who runs a tight ship! She truly keeps everything running smoothly, handles everything from scheduling to billing to whatever else falls on her lap, and she always does it with a welcoming and warm smile. She's the first and last face we see -- the face of the company. It's bitter sweet to say goodbye. Thank you sooooo much to Mrs. Teresa & Miss Rosa for being a part of our lives for the past 3 years.

My daughter was 17 months old and she was super quiet and only said a few words. The regional…read morecenter told me they wouldn't assess her until she was 18 months old. I hired Grace for a speech eval and she recommended weekly speech therapy. We had two sessions at our home. I learned how to help my daughter make more sounds through play. My daughter responded to Grace well and started to make a lot more noise and attempted to sound out the beginning of words. Now she is 18 months old and she finally says Mama! I would definitely recommend Grace to anyone that needs in home speech therapy for their child.

Grace is an amazing pediatric speech therapist! We began seeing Grace when my son was 22 months old…read moreback in June of 2023. I noticed my son wasn't talking like his peers and even though he was still quite young, early intervention has made such a big difference for us and I owe it all to Grace. Flash forward two years later and my son can express himself and be understood. We used Grace in addition to Regional Services and I will say that it made a big difference for us to also use Grace and get more individualized attention. Grace really involves the parent in every session, teaching you simple strategies to incorporate in your day to day to promote speech and sounds. Every week, my son wanted to see Grace because of her gentle approach and the creative ways she used play for therapy. Grace is extremely knowledgable- She always explains the "why" and looks at the WHOLE child which I think is so important.

Brittany Chau is an amazing Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)! We had an amazing experience and…read morewould definitely enlist her services again if ever needed. We received English services while being in a bi-lingual household for our child's period of being 18 Months - 3 years of age. Child started off barely talking and now we can't get them to stop yapping! Now don't get me wrong- I would hope that every parent's child would meet all developmental milestones and that you would never need to reach out for services, such as speech, because of a developmental delay; however, if you are in the need of an SLP I would highly recommend Brittany. Availability and communication were phenomenal. She is super punctual, responsive, and we had no problems scheduling sessions and making up missed appointments. She was local to our area and we were fortunate that she was able to come in-home to provide needed services for our child. You can tell how passionate she is for the success of your child based off of every interaction. It was a requirement to have at least one parent in-session and just being able to be present lets the parent learn so much about their child and which interaction or learning methods work best for them to learn and succeed. The debriefs after each session are always helpful along and she is always willing to provide great tips on how we can take the learning further, on the daily. You couldn't ever ask for a better partnership. My child is so excited every time they get to spend time with Brittany. She is the embodiment of the "no child left behind" mantra as she would never be that teacher that would fault a child if they just weren't picking up a concept. Instead, she would be the one to patiently discuss with the parents what she is observing while pondering, "Hmmm... I haven't quite figured out how to teach them yet." Totally accepting that it's our responsibility and duty to children to meet them halfway. If you go with Brittany Chau, you'll definitely have a Bright Outcome.

My daughter, Winter, has graduated from Brittany's myofunctional therapy program and we are so…read moregrateful we were referred to Brittany! Winter can be a bit reserved at first but Brittany helped her feel comfortable extremely quickly and built a great relationship with her. Winter was excited to see and engage with Britany, which was very helpful in getting her through the intensive program. We started myo because of Winter's severe teeth grinding, and within 5 days of starting the mouth exercises, Winter stopped grinding! We couldn't believe it but she truly stopped within that first week. We continued the program as we wanted to ensure the grinding didn't start back up and also wanted Winter to have the ideal oral resting posture in the long term. Towards the end of the program, Winter became a silent sleeper - mouth completely closed and quiet as a mouse, couldn't hear her breathe at all. She wakes up well rested and ready to go from having great sleep. Brittany was so great with Winter, firm enough to get Winter through the exercises properly but also warm and friendly so that Winter looked forward to meeting with her. Her professionalism and productivity impressed us and we couldn't recommend her more!

Dr Christine Nguyen came highly recommended by a friend. I was glad to have received his referral…read more She gave excellent recommendations that helped my son with several of his issues. Her office is right in the heart of San Marino with ample Parking. She was professional and had a great way with young newborns. We brought my son in when he was 2 months old. He felt right at ease with Dr Nguyen. I strongly recommend you visit her practice if you need any kind of assistance with your newborn / infant.

Dr. Christine Nguyen is a godsend. I was in contact with her from the moment I was pregnant and she…read moreassembled an entire team for me to work with. Elena Vogel was my lactation consultant, Dr. Kolleen Gregory was our infant chiropractor, and Dr. Choi is currently our pediatric dentist. Dr. Nguyen evaluated Adam the morning after I gave birth. He wasn't able to latch all night so she came to the hospital and said he had a tie. I was adamant about breastfeeding so after we were cleared by our doctors, we checked out on the second day and went straight to our appointment with Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Choi. Dr. Choi, who did the laser treatment on his tie actually found that it was much tighter than they originally thought, so I'm thankful I did it. It was a few seconds and it was done. Adam cried and truthfully screamed a bit, but stopped the second it was done. He had already settled down by the time he was back in my arms and we went home. The post-op care was heavily stressed by Dr. Nguyen. She was very thorough and careful when explaining how to do his oral stretches. She emphasized that the post-op care wasn't just his mouth, but his whole body. She was so incredibly knowledgeable on how the body functions as a whole and how it all ties together, so the movement and stretching of his mouth and entire body is all important. I'll be honest and say that I didn't want to do any of it because my cooter was healing and I was still in pain from just coming home from giving birth. It was all very fresh. But I looked at my baby and decided I'm his mom and this is my responsibility. Every single day for the next 3 months, I set aside the bare minimum of 5 minutes but realistically it took 15 minutes to do thorough movement for my son. I put in the work. I took videos and sent them to Dr. Nguyen and she would give me feedback. Call me crazy but my son was and is an "easy" baby. Be it a blessing of luck with a combination of effort and work, I see results. He eats a variety of foods, hitting all his milestones, and developing beautifully. I can't wait to have another baby lol.

I am extremely disappointed and concerned about the practices of Mi Sueño Speech Therapy. My son…read more has not attended a single session with this provider in over a year and a half, yet today I suddenly received a bill through his insurance for services that were never provided. This is very concerning and feels completely unethical. To make things worse, last year after I left an honest review about my experience, the owner abruptly terminated my son's services without warning. That alone showed unprofessional behavior, but receiving a bill after 18 months for sessions that never happened is alarming. Families with children who need support should not have to deal with surprise charges or retaliation for leaving honest feedback. I hope this company reviews their billing practices and treats families with more honesty and professionalism. I would not recommend this provider based on my experience.

UPDATE! Staff…read moreinteractions were consistently rude. I was told verbally today via phone that my daughter's ability to receive services could be affected unless I removed a critical review I had posted. I am sharing this so other families are aware and can ask about cancellation and communication policies before starting services. Families deserve to know what kind of treatment to expect. I've decided not to continue any services at this facility. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! I was met with unprofessional and unhelpful behavior from the front desk staff. I believe constructive feedback is essential to improve service quality, and I hope future customers receive a more welcoming and professional experience.
