Strides In Speech

Thank you barely begins to cover it! Alison has become a part of our family. We feel so lucky to have found a therapist who is so passionate about not just helping her "kids" - but who is also so committed to helping coach us as parents. Our daughter was barely speaking when we started, and now she is not only saying words, but really understanding what they mean AND how to use them! She has become so expressive and it brings tears to my eyes when I think of how far she has come since we started speech therapy. My husband and I have learned so much and have been able to use all of the strategies and techniques that Alison has shared with us. She is truly a remarkable speech therapist and we are so grateful to have her working with us! If I could give her 100 stars, I would!

My son was barely speaking complete sentences when I first contacted Alison for advice and consultation following his sensory processing disorder diagnosis at age 5. Now at age 9, he has made leaps and bounds in both articulation and expressive language. Her vast knowledge concerning the spectrum of disorders and delays and how each one relates to language and speech was critical in establishing specific techniques and tools that perfectly matched his needs. Bonus points: he found them engaging and fun! In addition to early intervention advice and support, Alison has been instrumental in the development and maintenance of our son’s IEP at school. Her expertise in the rights and protections of special needs children in the classroom is an asset to any parent navigating the journey to help our children be the best they can be.
