I happened to stumble onto Patti through Facebook after pursuing a fruitless search with my insurance to find a speech therapist for my son.

Go see Patti if you can!

Our son started at Playworks for speech therapy while we were in the middle of of doing neuropsych…read moretesting. The testing showed our son has mild dyslexia and struggles with writing. He struggled with the physical act of writing and as a consequence, found it difficult to produce cogent sentences. The doctor who performed our neuropsych assured us that Playworks could assist him in overcoming these challenges as well. After a few months of intensive work with his therapist at Playworks, our son's teachers have noticed dramatic improvement. He is now reading and writing at a grade appropriate level and his pronunciations have also improved. While we originally sent him to Playworks to help with his speech they have proven to have a wide skill set and the ability to work with issues that are tangential to speech issues.

My oldest graduated from her speech class today and the difference in how she talks is INCREDIBLE in less than 3 months. Janine was also the one to tell us (before our pediatrician!) that my daughter has enlarged tonsils, which was also affecting her speech. Janine really genuinely cares for her students and has made a profound impact on my daughter. I have 2 other kids who I will definitely sign up if they start to encounter the same speech problems. We love Janine!

Janine was great, she's attentive, patient, and engaging when playing and helping my son with his speech. She would provide tips and exercises to practice at home when not in therapy. Janine is very knowledgeable, and was able to answer most of my questions, We started seeing her in Oct, and b/c of covid and sickness, it's been on and off. However, within few months, I can see big improvement in my son's speech. He went from using one word communication, to 2 words. Now he's singing songs, even though I can only understand half of the lyrics. :)

Cathleen would showed me how to do each exercise and then had me do them. Well at first I felt like a real failure but she would give me the encouragement to succeed. Cathleen always challenge me to do the my best and by the time I finished with all the sessions I left better then when I started. Everyone there is personable and care for a patient's well-being. I would I HIGHLY recommend Cathleen or any of the other staff because they always have a smile and an encouraging word as you are training. Thank you Cathleen and Ashley!!!!

I had started to wonder if my daughter my struggle with speech articulation for the rest of her life and literally in 9 months, I now have people asking why she's even in speech. Katie is warm, nurturing, incredibly talented, motivating, and such a wonderful role model to my daughter. She's inspired my 6-year-old to want to be a speech pathologist to help people just like Katie has helped her. If you have the opportunity to use OWLS Therapy, particularly Katie McLaughlin, for your child, run, don't walk -- you won't regret it!

My child always looked forward to karen's sessions. I like how they can come to your home, daycare, or provide virtual sessions. Karen provided written summaries of each session and activities/goals to work on at home. The only reason we stopped services was because we moved to a different state- otherwise we'd still be using them! I did a lot of research/trial sessions into other Northern Virginia offices and I am so glad we went with OWLs!

We appreciate how honest the therapist was about how she didn't see any underlying concerns with her in this area and was not pushy about continuing therapy sessions. But we did discuss perhaps occupational therapy to help her with feeding for future development. So we booked a few feeding OT sessions with Nadia and my daughter was in love with her from day 1. She was kind, patient and instantly connected with our daughter in trying to pin point the best way to encourage her to open up on how she interacts with food. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending speech therapy sessions at Fairfax Pediatric Therapy since early January…read more He is almost 9 and has always struggled with his "s," "sh," and "ch" sounds - but we waited to see if he would grow out of it (he didn't). On recommendation of our dentist, we tried some videos to help him with speech, but we were not successful on our own. After a Zoom call with Ariel and Ahmad, the speech therapist, we felt very confident and comfortable with Fairfax Pediatric Therapy. After the first session, my son made huge strides in his "sh" sounds - he was actually able to articulate it correctly, even if it was a struggle. Long story short, as of today (3 months after starting) Finn has met all of his speech goals and no longer needs the services. Both Ahmad and Finn worked hard to make this happen - and in such a short time. I didn't expect progress so fast, to be honest. Not only that - my kiddo actually looked forward to the sessions. Ahmad took the time to get to know his interests - chess and strategy games - and built the sessions around play. When we left today, for the last time, Finn said he was going to miss his friend. We have had the best experience! Thank you.
