We can't recommend Randi Loeb at CSLS enough! My kid showed all kinds of signs of selective mutism…read moreat age 3 and we went through a series of assessments and appointments with professionals including our pediatrician, social worker, public school special Ed program, early intervention, psychologist, another speech therapist, etc. Nobody else could provide us the answer that we needed until we met Randi. It's apparent from the very first phone interview that she understood all of our struggles, and when she finally met our child, she was able to get her to talk and answer questions within the first 10min. It was the first time my daughter ever talked to a stranger since she could speak. My daughter started talking at school within a couple months of treatment and by the end of the school year, she could talk freely in all social situations including school. Randi is truly an expert in treating SM. We can't thank her enough and we'd recommend her to all the families that are currently struggling with children with SM!

I have been struggling to pronounce the letter R my whole life. It has led to a lot of…read morecommunication problems as well as confidence issues. When I first started seeing Emily, she helped me identify exactly which types of R sounds I was struggling with. She was very helpful in providing me exercises to do in between sessions and recording practice audio for me to use while driving to work. The pacing was great and helped me train myself to pronounce the sounds correctly without having to think about it. I made a before and after recording of myself and the improvement was massive! I had both a mix of in-person and online sessions and they were both equally good. She was very flexible with my schedule as well! A lot of the issues I've had in the past with communication have gone away thanks to Emily's help!

Her improvement over her time with Kai has been remarkable. We've noticed it at home, teachers have noticed it at school, and her updated neuropsych evaluation confirmed it. Even better, my kid *likes* working with Kai. Going to speech every week isn't a chore or a tantrum trigger... it's something she's cool with. My other kiddo came in with a different profile entirely and some pretty wonky speech sounds. The clarity of his speech has improved markedly in the time he's been working with Kai, and she works with him just as successfully. Having a provider that is fun, effective, organized, and flexible is an incredible thing. I feel so lucky to have found Kai to know that we've got the best support for our kids.

I highly recommend Kai as a speech and language therapist. Kai has worked with my elementary school…read morechild since September 2019. She was very highly recommended by our special ed, advocate for her experience working with autistic children. For my child, Kai's strength has been her work on social communication and language usage. For example, Kai is teaching my child how to make longer complex sentences, how to sequence and organize his thoughts, and how to make age-appropriate descriptions. Kai has successfully worked with my child on pronunciation too - my child has learned how to say certain forms of  "l", "r" and "th" that he could not do before. Kai also discusses with my child why learning these different parts of speech and language are essential. She listens to my child and fosters a back and forth dialogue. At the beginning of the pandemic, Kai seamlessly pivoted to virtual learning over Zoom. Kai is always well prepared for her sessions and is very good at communicating with parents. Kai is teaching my child to be a better communicator and to be better understood by his peers and his teachers. I really recommend Kai!

Out of 40 or so sessions, 8 were cancelled within 24 hours. Given the importance of practice and repetition, we believe the behavior to be unprofessional and ultimately quite detrimental to our son. 2) Elizabeth does not have any operational support which means that she often had difficulty dealing with insurance companies(she was IN network). She often asked us to call the insurance company on her behest. I am sure for slight speech issues, Elizabeth would be fine. However, for more serious and longer term engagements, we recommend to look elsewhere.
