Our son's speech was delayed until he was almost 2 and then one day out of the blue he started talking, but his speech was just a little off. Throughout elementary school he went to speech therapy with the other kids, but by fourth grade he noticed there were fewer and fewer kids with him. As a mom and dad, we want it all for our children, but we can only try and help so much, before we were all frustrated. At the same time, with middle school and tweener years looming, we didn't want our son to become self-conscious of his speech. This is where Ms. Olive came in. After only a few weeks of working with our son at home, we noticed a dramatic improvement - first he would catch himself mispronouncing a word without any coaxing by us and then it just wasn't an issue at all. His rapid success is directly attributable to Ms Olive's one on one approach, her patience and her ability to uniquely tailor the therapy to not only keep our son interested but actually look forward to his next speech class. Similarly, by Ms Olive offering speech therapy in the home, it makes for a more relaxing, yet focused session that my son responded extremely well to without the distractions of a group setting in school.
Thanks again Ms. Olive for helping our son and providing this valuable service to our community! read more
