"Mrs. Rebecca was an amazing therapist for my three-year-old son. He struggled with an articulation disorder and was extremely difficult for almost anyone other than me (his mother) to understand. His grandparents and teachers found it especially frustrating when they weren't able to understand what he was trying to tell them. Mrs. Rebecca was always full of positive energy and always met my son on his level, incorporating therapy-based play during his speech sessions. She was extremely professional and educational for me as a parent in ways that I could continue to help him progress at home. By the end of our four months, our son had made tremendous gains! I think the highlight of our time was him reaching the goal of being able to pronounce his baby brother's name correctly. We are still very grateful for all of her help!"

"As an early childhood educator, I am a firm believer and advocate for early intervention. I understand that speech and language skills are essential for academic success and socialization. Although children reach developmental skills at different rates, delays of speech sounds can hinder their reading and writing skills later on. Our goal as educators is to set our children up for success and to help them develop strong communication skills.
Rebecca has worked with me, my students and their families. She has been a great resource and expert in her field. I can go to her for opinions on whether or not a family should seek a professional evaluation. Rebecca worked with me and my families by providing feedback on how to support the child’s progress.
Rebecca incorporates play in her therapy. My students love their “Mrs. Rebecca” time! She is calm, encouraging, and supportive of her students. They smile with confidence when they reach a speech goal. Every student that worked with Rebecca during the school year, achieved “on level or above”, on their end of the year evaluations. She definitely helped them feel successful and confident in their communication skills. I highly recommend Rebecca for any speech therapy needs."

My first-born was not speaking clearly enough for strangers to understand him. At three years old, he was well below average for speech. Our pediatrician referred us to Rebecca and within a year of weekly therapy he learned to talk clearly enough to be understood to anyone! At five years old, no one would suspect he had a problem before. Rebecca even taught me, as a parent, how to help my child daily with his speech. We called her sessions “talking school” and my little boy loved going to see her. He had no idea it was “therapy.” He just saw it as a fun time playing games. She has a true gift for working with children. I would recommend her with lots of gold stars.
