My son had a lisp since he was a toddler. By age five it became apparent that it may be permanent…read more A friend of mine recommended Clearly Speaking In Herndon. I was a skeptic at first, but within 10 months, going once a week, sometimes twice a week my son no longer has a lisp. Not even a hint! I am absolutely thrilled, I absolutely recommend it! I paid out-of-pocket, it was reasonably priced. Both ladies at this facility are fantastic. We used Christina. If your child has a lisp please consider this!

We brought our son to Kristina at Clearly Speaking right before he turned three as he had…read moreexpressive speech delay and was barely verbal. After just a few months, our son started blossoming, was very verbal and confident in social situations and was using complex sentence structures. Kristina was always very attentive to our son's needs and we are more than ecstatic with the results. She was always available and supportive whenever we had a question. She always had our son's best interests at heart. Our son went from a very shy child with speech difficulties to a very verbal, happy, popular child. We have no words to express our gratitude to Kristina and Clearly Speaking.

There is no stronger team committed to using the most effective and up-to-date evidence-based practices. The tremendous progress I have seen in my child speaks volumes to the high level of care and expertise they provide. My son's Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is now resolved and I could not be more thankful! We have worked with many speech therapists, both public and private, all over the DMV and no one can compare to PST. I cannot recommend Pooja and her team enough! My son adores his speech therapists and I love knowing he is finally in the very best hands. I can confidently say there are only a handful of specialists in our nation as remarkable as Pooja who have the expertise required to diagnose and successfully treat complex speech and language disorders, especially CAS. If you are seeking the absolute best of the best, look no further.

She is so fun and positive, and the love that she has for him and the joy that she takes from seeing him succeed is incredible. She has helped him with his reading comprehension, his conversation skills, and his ability to verbalize his thoughts more clearly. She tailors her lessons to his needs and his favorite things, using Minecraft and Super Mario timers and videos for short breaks to incentivize him. Alex and Pooja are brilliant and caring; I can't recommend them enough.

I found Janine on yelp after noticing my 5 year old was pronouncing "r" as "l," among other things…read more Luckily we were able to get a class with Janine and from day 1, she has been so patient and kind. 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!

Another mom from daycare recommended Janine to my speech delayed son. I decided to go the private…read moreroute to help my son with his speech, and I'm glad I did that. 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. :)

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.

Both of my kids have been coming to Creative Health for 1.5+ years. Once we realized my younger son…read moreneeded help we went around for evaluations at different places and decided on Creative Health. I believe it was the best decision we could've made because my son gets both speech and OT therapy that is coordinated. The therapists, all the staff, Judy and Richard have been a wonderful support to our family and we can honestly say that thanks to this amazing team both of my sons have made great progress. My younger son went from not being able to communicate and being afraid of the world around him and many activities that most toddlers do to being able to communicate/have conversations and engaging with other children and activities. He's now making great progress on his fine motor skills, so many of his sensory challenges have resolved and he's even eating different foods/textures now. There are so many progresses my kids have made that it's hard to list them all. I'm thankful we found this facility. Their DIR Floor time approach helped my son to be comfortable with his team so when we started he didn't spend time in meltdown mode and was able to participate and engage with his therapists. I believe this approach was very key to the success we've seen in his progress. I believe having both speech and OT in this whole/body whole/person approach has had a great positive impact. Additionally, the facility really meets their therapy needs with spacious rooms with different themes and different activities to work on different therapy needs. My kids are excited and happy to go to therapy. They are never bored as they go to different rooms each week that keeps them engaged. Judy and Richard and the therapists always make time for me whenever I have a question or just need someone to talk to. Richard really set our minds at ease with dealing the insurance companies. He understand their billing and makes sure we understand our coverage so we can get the most services covered for our kids. The therapists are very knowledgeable and work so well with the kids. Judy has let us look over her library of books and resources and been a great support. We do Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Listening Therapy, Interactive Metronome. We highly recommend Creative Health!

Sonika is simply an amazing speech therapist. She worked with our son who was speech delayed for…read moreover a year, and the strides he made in that year are remarkable. Sonika met our son where he was and found ways to build connection early. That bond laid the foundation for his development, as his comfortability with her allowed for the working sessions to be friction free and productive. Sonika went above and beyond in her services, as she worked with our son in various environments to help him better navigate his world. Whether that was at home, in his preschool, at a park or even at a social event, she was there. He is now much more confident in his speech and can clearly communicate his wants, needs, and interests with adults and peers. Outside of her exceptional services, as a person, she is extremely professional, kind and empathetic. She was always on time and communicated goals, progress and lessons clearly. She showed up rain (snow storm) or shine, with great energy everytime. Our family highly recommends her.
