I knew we should be hearing babbling like "ma-ma" and "da-da" but despite a degree in Elementary Education and a highly verbal older child, nothing we were doing seemed to be working. Carrie took our nearly non-verbal 9-month old when others wouldn't. She was timely, caring, and professional during therapy sessions. She immediately intervened with innovative therapies based on research. Stimulating his auditory nerve with motion (swinging, swaying, and bouncing) my non-verbal child miraculously spoke the word "ball" at the end of the first therapy session focused on many experiences surrounding balls. She made impressive progress over the months that followed. She worked with Sam until she moved back to her home state and we credit her with his ability to discontinue early childhood speech services before he turned 3. Sam is now a happy, healthy 10-year old who asks us so many hard questions, we often laugh that we were once worried he couldn't speak.

Before Family Chatterbox, we didn't know it was possible to receive therapy right here at home, and we would never do it any other way. We firmly believe it was the secret to our son's success. FC's therapists are kind, compassionate and incredible at what they do. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

We LOVE Family Speech!! Kaylin, in the Edina office, came in and saved the day a year and a half…read moreago when we had lost hope that we could find a speech therapist that could help our son. He has Down syndrome and sensory issues, was wary of any new providers, and had recently been diagnosed with Apraxia. She is so wise, intuitive, patient, joyful, knowledgeable, creative, fun, always willing to learn more, and she thinks outside the box! My little guy considers her to be one of his very best friends! He will do things no other provider would be able to get him to do because he likes and trusts Kaylin so much and she makes the environment just perfect to challenge him. I have learned so much from her and we are seeing such exciting improvements in Aaron's speech and overall development. We have added OT and we LOVE Andrea too!!! She was able to really understand where Aaron is on so many levels. I REALLY appreciated how she (and Kaylin) truly listened to me about Aaron's strengths and weaknesses and took his diagnoses into account. We were able to pinpoint what his immediate needs were, which involved backing up to make him more ready to accomplish the many tasks ahead of him. I LOVE the approach at Family Speech! It is so relaxed yet always challenging in a completely non-threatening way. We always make progress-every week! We had not had that experience anywhere else during the first 3.5 years of his life. Andrea has new (and super fun) ideas and activities every week. They draw Aaron in and he then uses them at home all the time. He also benefits from having other kids in the same area while he's there. Everyone at the Edina office has been so flexible and had their focus on the goal of success for Aaron. I don't want to forget to mention Brenna who fills in for Andrea...she is great too! Love all the info she shares each time and her joyful and patient approach with Aaron is so sweet! She always joins him where he's at and works from there. Karrie has been so helpful to our family in finding a way for Aaron to make progress despite his tendency to be sick a lot. She too sincerely wants him to succeed and has been willing to go out of her way to help make that happen. Kelly too!! I had a few blips with the office staff (over the phone) too BUT the managers have worked through the issues I experienced and I am completely satisfied with and thankful for how they resolved them! Thank you to everyone at Family Speech!! Our lives are constantly changing for the better because of your help and commitment to helping Aaron succeed!
