Our son has been getting help from Jenni for more than two years now…read more Before finding Jenni, we tried several different speech therapists, but nothing really clicked. Our son would get bored easily, and the therapists didn't quite understand what he needed. But when we met Jenni, everything changed. Our son absolutely LOVES spending time with her - he literally thinks it's a fun playdate! He gets super excited on days when he gets to see her. Jenni's talent with kids is exceptional. Her play-based methods have been instrumental, as they allow therapy to unfold naturally without any sense of pressure. What truly sets Jenni apart is how knowledgeable she is about various aspects of physical and neurological development, leading to her holistic approach to therapy. She seamlessly incorporates activities that not only focus on speech but also enhance various cognitive functions and behavior growth. For instance, she cleverly integrates activities that boost his memory and simultaneously reinforce his ability to name pictures, or plays board games to teach him to take turns and regulate emotions while practicing speech. Since starting with Jenni, our son's vocabulary has expanded exponentially, and his pronunciation and ability to form sentences has remarkably improved. He now confidently communicates and is easily understood by family, friends, teachers, and peers at preschool. Even with all the improvement, we will continue sessions far into the future because she actively contributes to our son's overall development. What Jenni has done for our son is truly life changing, and we are forever thankful to her! We wholeheartedly recommend Jenni for anyone seeking exceptional support for their child's speech and overall development.

My son has worked with Jenni for speech therapy for close to 3 years now. Jenni is a very…read moreexperienced and patient speech therapist and her class is also fun so that my kid can stay in the room and focus. Over the time, we've seen significant improvement on my son's speech ability. Now he's able to communicate with his peers and us without any problems. This also helped him performing well academically in school. Jenni is also a very kind person to get along with. We had many pleasant conversations not related to the therapy too! We're so glad we've chosen Jenni as our therapist!

Our daughter felt excited every time when she was going to her therapy. Stacey and Alex are a high-level specialists. They found a millions funny ways to encourage our child to do her best. Also they kept to communicate with us, parents, to let us know everything what could help more, how we can use that knowledge that we got there. Every summer they do a camp for children and our daughter can't wait to go there! We are so thankful for Waypoint Pediatric for their awesome job! It really helped our daughter to feel more self-confident, stronger and braver. Highly recommend to go to Waypoint's specialists!

Janelle in Issaquah has been seeing my son since he was four months old, he is 9 months old now. I…read morehave been so impressed. He feels so comfortable with her. She has given me the tools and the confidence as his mother to help him. She has never treated him as less than (even with some of his challenges) or treated me like I'm over-reacting or ignorant. She listens to what I have to say, she accepts my observations and she is incredibly reasonable. She has really been a God-send and we feel so blessed that we get to work with her. The office scheduling/billing has always been great at communicating even during these more challenging covid-19 times. Their office is always clean and we feel very safe going in.

I had a disappointing experience due to a lack of transparency in billing. I was initially informed…read morethat the cost would be $35 per session, but later received a bill that was more than three times higher. This was never clearly communicated upfront. Clear and upfront pricing is essential for building trust with patients. I hope they improve their communication and billing practices to avoid similar issues for others.

Similar to many "pandemic babies" our toddler had a speech delay and limited socialization. My…read moredaughter was referred to Kindering's birth through three early intervention. Everyone there was been just wonderful. She has blossomed, and we are so proud of how far she has come. We had speech and play therapists come to our house weekly and we joined the co-op preschool, which is the highlight of my daughter's week (and everyone is excellent about COVID precautions). In co-op she learned to share toys with other children, follow directions in circle time, play at the gym, and try new snacks. They teachers are very patient, kind, and thoughtful and gave advice on not only speech exercises but behavior, managing tantrums, setting boundaries. In a society where teachers/therapists don't get enough credit, I wanted to say thanks to Theresa, Jen, Katherine, and Laura. Things such as making a personalized bedtime routine chart, wearing a princess dress for my princess obsessed daughter's birthday, and setting up her favorite toys mean a lot. My daughter has gone from whispering just "mama/dada" to using her voice and saying 10 word sentences / verb tenses so she is "graduating" (complete with a tiny cap/tassel and grown). This will make her transition to daycare/preschool much smoother, and I hope she will always love school like Kindering co-op. We will miss these teachers very much and are truly grateful for everything.

I came to Susan Cohn & Associates despondent, crestfallen, beleaguered (name your negative…read moreadjective - I was living it!) after a completely unproductive experience with my daughter's prior speech therapist. Out of a sense of obligation to my daughter, I reached out to Amy Svensson, who handled my cynical intake questions and comments like a champ. I appreciated Amy handling the intake process, as we were able to preserve objectivity ahead of our evaluation with our selected speech therapist, Cassie. After mentally deciding to try a new therapist "for a couple weeks", the results we had with Cassie were indisputable. After just a few sessions, I was able to get my daughter to attempt words that I would say - a perceived impossibility just weeks earlier. My daughter started her journey with Cassie saying only 15 words; a few months later, we are counting well into the hundreds. Speech therapy became a highlight of my daughter's week almost immediately after we started - it's become a true highlight of my week as well. As with many speech delays, the road ahead of us promises to be long, but I am confident of our continued progress thanks to Cassie and the team at Susan Cohn and Associates. If you are losing hope like I was, do yourself a favor and give Susan Cohn a call!

Do not go to this office…read more Referred by my son's primary care but after 2 weeks of back and forth, the office still can't clarify what our first visit will cost. They specifically told me to wait for a diagnosis code, then "forgot" to follow up. There is a total lack of clarity with the billing contact in their office. And then they insist we come in anyway so they can submit billing to the insurance and if it's not covered, it will just be one out of pocket visit cost. Sounds like they're out to make money, not help their patients- who in this case is a 3 year old. Frankly, they had more than 2 weeks to validate insurance coverage and are incompetent when it comes to communication. I mean, just pay out of pocket right? They'll figure it out later !

Extremely disorganized and unprofessional. We sent two of…read moreour children to Childrens Communication Corner for speech therapy. While the services were beneficial and progress was made, the experience was completely tainted by the lack of organization and unprofessional business practices. When we signed up for services, a discount was offered for having a second child receive services as well. We received services over a nine month period. We paid as went as insurance did not cover any of the sessions. Invoices or monthly statements were never provided and we simply asked them to charge our credit card as we went. About thirty days after we finished the sessions, we received a bill what appeared to be the final sessions. We did not dispute the bill and paid it. We later received another bill and took it as valid and sent them a check. A few weeks later, (now several months since we last received services)we received the check back with a note saying our account was paid in full and we did not owe any more money. Three months later I receive a call from "Pete" at my workplace who is calling to say our account is past due and we owe him $421 and if we don't pay right now he is sending us to collections. I proceeded to explain that his company returned our last payment to us with a statement saying the account was paid in full and that there must be a misunderstanding. He became very rude and beligerent and demanded payment immediately. From here things got worse. Pete harassed us continually. He said the therapist that provided the services did not bill us correctly, that she was not authorized to give an additional child discount and that he was going to reverse the discount and bill the full amounts. A month later he sent us invoices and statements indicating we owe them over $900 and demanded payment. He threatened collections throughout. We did not have anything in writing from them regarding the sibling discount, and as they did not provide on going invoices or statements we had nothing to argue his trumped up charges and invoices. We value our credit and do not want a fight with collections. We paid the $900 and will never do business with them again. Get everything in writing while they are trying to "sign you up" and demand invoices and statements. They are not the friendly "mom & pop" operation they claim to be.

They do ask for donations for their cause which are tax deductible,,,this is a non-profit organization. They have very skilled pathologists situated in a very family friendly environment.

They also offer a parent education class for parents to apply the needed skills for the other 23 hours in the day when your child isn't at therapy. This really acts like a turbo boost to your chid's speaking capabilities. This is a very well run organization that really deserves the donations for its cause. You can see the results of their efforts. Can't say enough good things about them.
