    Having a baby is already hard, but having a baby that needs help with feeding is something that no…read moreone can prepare you for. After a 6 week stay in the NICU, and a G-Tube placement, we started feeding therapy with Teresa through the Golden Gate Regional Center. During our time in the hospital and just after, we met with a number of feeding therapists that were next to no help with us. It was frustrating and sad, especially as new mom. When I met Teresa, I told her upfront that I was having a hard time and that I needed someone that could really help us get to a place where we could wean off our feeding tube. Nearly a year later, my daughter has been tube-free for almost five months, and has been mostly oral for about nine months. So much of our progress has been because of the help I got from Teresa. She has amazing patience, and really listens to what you're saying and offers useful and constructive ways to help. Nothing about it is forced, and along the way, there's also a gentleness in her approach to moving to the next steps. Of all our early intervention providers, Teresa is the one person I really wanted to meet with on a weekly basis because I knew there'd be constructive and helpful takeaways from our meetings. We recently had to relocate out of the state, and I am incredibly sad that I couldn't bring Teresa with us. Hopefully this means that Teresa can now help another family in the same way that she helped ours. Thank you Teresa and SF Speech!

    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.

It was great that Therapista offers home visits, which was convenient for our family. The therapist was really good at working with my picky toddler and getting him to do certain activities; she made the exercises fun. 1 star off: The only feedback for Therapista is that our therapist changed the time of every single one of our meetings, so it was difficult to get our toddler into a routine because the physical therapy sessions were on different days of the week and at different times of the day. The sessions are supposed to be 50 minutes long, but a few of our sessions were curtailed due to the therapist's personal issues. At the end, my son is doing much better now, so I am glad that we used Therapista. Without them, he probably still does not have the fine motor skills to pick his nose or something!

She is easy to work with, deeply knowledgeable, and brings a calm, kind presence to every interaction. What stands out most is her relationship-based lens. She takes the time to understand each child and family, meeting them where they are and building meaningful, trusting connections that support growth. Dani is also DIR-trained, which is evident in the way she approaches her work with a strong focus on connection, regulation, and developmentally appropriate support. She offers strategies that feel both practical and aligned with how children naturally learn and relate. We highly recommend Dani to any school or family looking for a wonderful, experienced speech therapist who brings both expertise and heart to her work.

Dani's approach of child led speech therapy keeps my son engaged in any activity that he is interested in that moment, while creating meaningful ways to help support his language development. Dani is so helpful, and supportive not just for the child, but also to the rest of the family, educating us in what we could do to understand, and help support our child in the best way possible. Our son has grown so much since working with Dani! It's a really positive experience all around!

    I have visited many hearing clinics since purchasing my first hearing aids thirty years ago, and…read morethis is absolutely the best clinic I have encountered. My recent experiences elsewhere in the Bay Area were frustrating; for instance, while the audiologists at the Stanford Hearing Institute are competent, they don't seem to listen to their patients. In contrast, the audiologists at Sound Speech & Hearing Clinic are both knowledgeable and dedicated to following up on any issues. Melissa Beer is highly competent and friendly; she worked with me extensively to fine-tune my hearing aids over several sessions. An additional benefit is the pricing, which is much more affordable than the Stanford Hearing Institute for exactly the same hearing aids from Oticon. Even though I live forty miles away from San Francisco, the travel is well worth the effort.

She politely informed me she will get back to me ( I dont normally Expect a response basing on my experience with couple of Providers) BELOW ME DOWN..She called me couple of hours to inform me ..Yes...The Price was way way way below for what i Paid from from KAISER $$$. First Available appointment was on the 5h of January.... Impression soon as got inside their Clinic? HOME !!!! I Felt at home..Their clinic was not like most others . It just made me felt at home. They had a great Protocol too..My appointment was at 2:30 and I just waited outside their clinic. (Good precautionary ). I was greeted outside by Melissa ..the Audiologist...First time I met her made me feel im welcomed and she's there to help... She Informed me the difference between P90 vs P70 ( Higher end Hearing Aid) . I told her since i worked in a very noisy environment I could hear all the plates and glass more than vocal speech of people i interact. She told me to upgrade to P90 (Noise Cancelling ) I said lets do it... Im Looking forward to trying and getting P90 Next week... From the very Homey Clinic to the friendliest Staff thats there to help you...I STRONGLY SUGGEST this clinic..You'll Never go wrong... PS. I love My Kaiser Hearing Aid Clinic too.but their price is way OVERRATED compare to this Great Clinic...TRY IT

Thank you! From the beginning, she was always patient, nurturing and supportive to Will. He trusted her and was always eager to visit her each week.

She also helped me, as a parent, understand where my child's progress was at; and I learned also how I could continue to support Will at home each week.

    The world of Speech Pathology has access to limited practical, clinical technology. However, when…read moreI first learned about Speech buddies Buddies, specifically designed tools for individual problem sounds that would be placed inside the mouth and teach the proper and consistent tongue placement that we all try to achieve, I was most intrigued. The method of almost instant intra-oral tactile feedback that has been created is effective and works impressively well. It has quickly become clear to me that Speech Buddies do a great job of teaching children how to place their to accomplish proper sound production. In addition, parents are impressed and supportive when I am able to recommend a technological option for their child that I think will speed up their learning process. It is most reassuring to them, and adds to my credibility in the early days of establishing a therapeutic relationship, that I have a variety of methods, both conventional and cutting-edge that I can use for their child. As for the kids, they always love gadgets, games and anything "techy" - especially something that they can actually touch which helps them and allows them to see rapid positive results. Speech Buddies provides effective tactile feedback where parents and children can rapidly hear and feel a difference. They motivate and encourage everyone involved in the Speech Pathology process, allowing for faster progress and easier carryover and generalization outside of the therapeutic environment. Speech Buddies are unique, effective tactile feedback tools that truly do what they are designed to accomplish. They help to correct problem sounds while encouraging and motivating in both a therapy and home setting. They work and are worthy of your interest. Donna Orloff

I'm so happy that finally a solution exists to accomplish this task in a much more effective, consistent and professional way. Speech Buddies also enable me to apply this method to a much larger set of sounds including the R sound, one of the trickiest to teach.
