Late last year, my daughter was diagnosed with Autism and our insurance provider gave us a list of speech therapists without our area to choose from. Out of a list of about 20, only about 10 of them were within a 30 min distance from my home. I contacted 10 businesses and I either left messages for them or, I flat out was told they didn't have availability for my child. Only ONE of them called me back out of the messages I left. I was really grateful for the callback too and it was only about an hour or so after I left the message being that I didn't know their business was opened yet. That person ended up being Radha, the owner of this business, Sparkling Speech Therapy. Right off the bat, her voice was warm and welcoming. She informed me that they had only one availability to offer for my daughter and I panicked. While waiting for call backs. I had thoroughly researched each one of the businesses I contacted. Sparking Speech was at the tippy top of my list. Take a look at their vibrant and informative website and tell me you don't agree with me! So even though I didn't have transportation at the time to take my daughter, I took the slot because it was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with such a great business such as Radha's. Let me tell you, from the first meeting, Radha and her team did not disappoint! As a mother worried about finding exemplary services for her daughter on the spectrum, it was a breath of fresh air to be able to find a business and team of women who would advocate for my daughter as passionately as I would. My daughter meets with Ms. Janel weekly and for a short time we had the pleasure of Ms. Morgan assisting her in working with my daughter. Seeing the HUGE difference from Day 1 to now about a little over a month of weekly 45 min therapy, my daughter has flourished. She's making such great progress with being exposed to sign language and increasing her social skills. My favorite thing about working with Ms. Janel is that you can tell she truly loves working with all her kids. She has a such a kind heart and is extremely patient. My daughter is all over the place and it's rare for her to stick to one activity for longer than a few minutes. Ms. Janel doesn't skip a beat. She goes with the flow and adds herself into my daughter's world by playing with what she's playing with or incorporating activities that she knows will peak her interest. The 45 minutes goes by way too fast and now my daughter doesn't want to leave when our time is done! This is a stark contract from my daughter's earlier sessions where she would frequently hand lead me to the door telling me she was done. This business is 30 minutes away from my house. It is worth the time and gas and miles it takes to visit weekly. Believe me when I say, I cannot rave enough about them. I'm hoping my daughter will be lucky enough to receive her therapy from Ms. Janel for as long as we can. So if you have a kiddo in need of speech therapy, please consider Sparkling Speech Therapy, you won't regret it, I promise! read more
