If she has other experts that are suited for your child, then she makes sure to give you the best possible answers for your child. I am extremely impressed and very happy and grateful for Ms. Maureen. The staff and SLPA's are devoted to their students and their genuine commitment to the betterment of our children is truly remarkable. The type of care and dedication to the inclusion of all speech and language skills is the most valuable aspect of this incredible organization. Thank you so much, Maureen, Bree, and Gene are simply the BEST.

During our first appointment with Maureen, our child began using the same signs that we were unsuccessful in teaching. Considering that our child is very reserved around new people, this was quite a feat. He started seeing Akiko twice a week, and over the past year, his language skills have improved exponentially. He's now at the point that he can tell us about his day at pre-school and answer questions about his activities. Everyone has noticed the dramatic improvement in his language skills and his confidence has grown as well. Going to Shoreline was often the highlight of his day and he continues to ask to see Akiko despite graduating recently. We're very happy that we selected Shoreline for this journey, and we recommend them to you as well.

We thought he would simply grow out of it, but as he got older we realized he needed help. We contacted Speech Sisters and they put our mind at ease right away. They were very sensitive to how our son would feel about the therapy and understood it could cause anxiety. However, from the first day his Therapist, Anna, started, our son embraced it all. He actually looked forward to the sessions and grew confidence as he progressed. If you have concerns about your child's speech development in the Southbay, Speech Sisters is a great place to help.

Their progress has been nothing short of remarkable--far exceeding what we experienced with previous therapists. Mariah is our fifth speech therapist, and she's truly the most effective we've ever had. In just six weeks, she's helped our children more than any of the others, some of whom worked with them for 1-2 years at a time. I'm so grateful we found Kyra, and that she connected us with Mariah--she is an absolute gem! The entire experience has been fantastic. What I love most is how supportive and compassionate Mariah is. Her deep commitment and genuine care for our children's speech improvement is something truly rare these days. It's clear she's deeply motivated to see them progress, and she makes learning fun for them. This means the world to us. We've been so impressed that we've decided to increase their sessions from once a week to two or three times for quicker progress. Mariah also noticed my willingness to help and thoughtfully suggested compiling homework for me to work on with the kids between sessions--a wonderful extra touch. I have complete trust in her expertise and guidance. Mariah will forever be our favorite speech therapy angel. Thank you!

Sabrina is a fantastic speech therapist and I would highly recommend her!…read more She worked with two of my children and built up a great rapport, which is meaningful as one of my kids is very caution of new people but felt comfortable right away. The activities she provided during the sessions kept the kids engaged and motivated to stay focused on their speech practice. We are a family that practices NVC(non-violent communication) and Sabrina supported our wishes to not use a rewards/punishment method or food during our sessions. The time spent after each session talking with her one-on-one was key in staying on the same page, sharing updates, and learning how to continue the speech practice throughout the week. Sabrina was also timely, flexible, and proactive about advance schedule needs. You won't be sorry you've chosen Sabrina!

The Best IBCLC Ever -- Julie Changed My Whole Breastfeeding Journey…read more I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie. With my first baby, I had to exclusively pump due to a tongue tie already released, and the constant pumping and bottle washing while sleep-deprived traumatized me. When I was pregnant with my second, I wanted so badly to nurse--but by day 4 postpartum, I was crying alongside my screaming baby because I just could not get her to latch. I felt like a complete failure all over again. I paid the travel fee for an in-home visit, and Julie was worth every single penny and more. She walked in and got my baby to latch right away! Her calm, knowledgeable presence instantly shifted everything (I'm sure she could tell I'd been crying minutes before). Her social media content is incredibly helpful no matter where you are in your feeding journey, but having her in person was life-changing. Even though I needed a nipple shield (the one she provided which was better than the hospital's!) for 4 months and my supply was just enough, I was able to nurse for 13 whole months while going back to full-time work at 4 months postpartum--something I never imagined possible as a mom who only knew exclusive pumping and tongue ties. I credit that entirely to Julie. She gave me hope, confidence, and the practical guidance I desperately needed. Julie, I hope you know the work you do truly makes a difference. I refer every mom I know who wants breastfeeding support to you. You are the best IBCLC ever!

Her knowledge is incredible, but what really sets her apart is her compassion and ability to meet you exactly where you are -- emotionally, physically, and mentally. Julie helped me navigate latching issues, supply concerns, and all the emotional ups and downs that come with early breastfeeding which made such a difference in my confidence as a new mom. Thanks to her, breastfeeding became not just manageable but actually a bonding, positive experience for me and my baby. Julie is a true gem, and I can't recommend her enough to any parent needing guidance and gentle, expert care.

I can tell Chloe really cares about my son and goes the extra mile to best serve his needs. Expertise and compassion make Chloe an incredible asset to my son's team. I highly recommend her!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Chloe and Molly. I initially met Chloe because she was in…read morecharge of conducting an Independent Evaluation for my son via LBUSD. Chloe was always responsive and really pushed for the evaluation to be reviewed in its entirety. During my son's IEP meeting, Chloe stood-up for my son in a way that brought tears to my eyes. It is rare to find people who are as dedicated to their profession, but that also genuinely care about the population that they serve. Because of her dedication and support during the IEP process, I decided to have my son attend speech therapy with Language and Literacy Group--even though we live far away, and our insurance does not cover these services. In the 3.5 months that my son has been attending therapy with Chloe and Molly, he has made noticeable progress in the way he expresses himself and his desire to communicate more with peers and his family. I will forever be grateful for their support and for being a part of my son's development and growth.

She found common interests and built genuine rapport, which helped my child feel comfortable and excited for each session. Christina's warmth and ability to engage made a huge difference in my child's progress. Even though we only worked directly with her, it's clear that all the therapists share the same enthusiasm and care for the kids they work with.
