Boise Speech and Hearing Clinic

My son began speech therapy at the age of 4. He was hard to understand and had weak facial muscle tone. When he begin kindergarten he was put on an IEP and provided 30 minutes a week of speech therapy at school. By the time he began 2nd grade the school pathologist and I agreed he needed more than they could offer. This is when we were referred to Rian at Boise Speech and Hearing.

Our first assessment with Rian was the beginning of a successful journey. She diagnosed him with severe tongue thrust, delayed speech in every category and facial tone weakness that left him breathing through his mouth. We would continue this journey with Rian for 4 years. Rian has a gift of making each session feel welcoming, engaging and fun! My son is a true introvert, but not when it came to this office! He would walk in weekly with confidence and excitement.

Rian was kind, knowledgeable, SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, and she knew how best to navigate the list of things we needed to correct. Even in times of a pandemic she knew what was best! When Ada County shut down due to covid, we went to virtual speech sessions. At first, I was hesitant how this would work! After the first on-line session, I was AMAZED at the progress that my son and Rian were able to achieve!!

We’ve since graduated and my son often asks, “If he can go back to see Rian?” Boise Speech and Hearing is wonderful, we would give them 6 stars, if we could!!

We have had a wonderful experience with all the providers and office staff at Boise Speech and Hearing! Everyone is so kind and helpful! We have seen very consistent progress as our daughter has had therapy for finger sucking, a tongue thrust, and articulation problems. We are grateful for their knowledge and expertise and for the fun and motivating way they interact with our daughter!

The staff is amazing and patient! And I have enjoyed every visit, and my therapist is kind, amazing, and patient with me! I really thought it would just be go, go, go, but we go with my pace of learning. I really gotten to know my therapist and and some of the staff to the point where it feels like a mini little family at the clinic (which is so great for my nerves lol) so yeah 10/10!

I am very impressed with Boise Speech and Hearing. I have two of my children, ages 6 & 4, who go there and they love their therapist. She is very patient and great with kids. The building has a comfortable and welcoming waiting area, with a playroom for children. The offices are spacious, allowing for interactive lessons. I highly recommend them.

The folks here are just amazing. My kiddos have been to other facilities but they were not the right fit. I was frustrated & overwhelmed until I found this place. The ladies here that work with my kids are so fun and silly my kids don't even realize that they are learning. My children were non verbal & the huge improvement that they have made in just a few months has been huge. Even during this hard time with everything closed they still want to go to speech. The online therapy has been great. My son gets very excited when it's time for his big boy meeting. Every time we get in the car my kids ask if we are going to speech & are disappointed when we dont go.
