What Parents are Saying

“Becky is truly in a league of her own, and our family could not feel more grateful to have found her three years ago.  She is warm, kind, and patient, quickly developing a strong relationship with our otherwise very shy daughter.  Becky really understands our daughter as a student and as a learner and as a result knows how to challenge her and get the most out of her without overwhelming her.  Becky also goes above and beyond in how thoughtful and creative she is in her lesson planning, which reflects both her passion for her work and her genuine interest in our daughter's growth.  For example, in the past year, Becky began proactively introducing Kindergarten readiness activities into their sessions, even collaborating with our daughter's OT in an effort to most effectively incorporate her OT goals into their sessions together.  Lastly, as working parents, we really appreciate all the updates Becky provides us and all the advice she gives us on how to generalize her lessons into our day to day lives at home.  I could not respect Becky more as a person or as an educator, and we really feel very lucky to be working with her for all this time!”

“Becky is amazing as always! She is an incredible speech therapist and knows how to keep a child engaged during sessions. She is so creative and has so many different techniques and ways to redirect a child when they get distracted, while at the same time always making it playful and fun. Class is great for eliciting speech, but also very educational, too. Worth it, simply the BEST!”

“We worked with Rebecca when my son was going through the evaluation process for Early Intervention. Rebecca was absolutely wonderful and so diligent in making sure our son’s review was done and submitted in a timely manner. She also was so helpful in answering all of our questions and provided us with tips and ideas on how to work with our son before he even qualified. She even noticed our son might be delayed in other areas and pushed for him to be evaluated in those areas, in addition to speech. She was an amazing resource when I, as a worried parent, needed someone to talk to and calmed any fear or worry I had regarding the services my son might need. She was absolutely lovely to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more.”

“I am incredibly grateful for Becky’s work with my son. Her sessions are well-structured and thoughtfully designed, ensuring that I always understand what we are working on. My son typically gets bored easily, but he absolutely loves his time with Becky and stays engaged throughout each session. She has an incredible eye for detail, strategically addressing each challenge while maximizing every opportunity for practice. Her determination and efficiency make every session highly productive, and I've seen remarkable progress. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!  ”

“Miss Becky is very engaging with the kids. She has this amazing way of keeping the class very energizing and fun while also focusing the kids on learning. She teaches letters and their sounds through songs, pictures and stories. All of the kids are encouraged to interact and sing along and they all get an opportunity to say hello and speak to the rest of the class. This class has really nurtured my daughter to be more confident and motivated to speak. Miss Becky is very genuine and you can tell that she loves what she does, which really resonates with the kids.”

— Mother, daughter attended weekly language enrichment classes

“I’ve been thinking all afternoon about his progress today. It’s truly amazing, Becky, and I can’t thank you enough. Honestly, the emotions run high! It’s all your work and we are so deeply thankful and grateful for you!”

“I am going through my son’s evaluation report in preparation for his IEP meeting tomorrow and I just wanted to thank you for the comprehensive job that you have done. I feel that it really represents my son - something that I didn’t feel after his first evaluation.”

“I can’t say enough how grateful we are to Becky for her support in my daughter’s journey to unplug her thumb. My daughter was sucking her thumb in the womb and used her thumb to comfort herself, so I didn’t think it was possible to get her to stop. I shared my worries and reservations with Becky, but she helped me take baby steps and eased my concerns. To my surprise, we saw success right away! Becky’s introduction of the program and the use of a sockie helped my child succeed. Becky’s patience and enthusiasm helped make this program a success! I was so proud when my daughter excitedly told her dentist that she no longer sucks her thumb! We are so thankful to Becky!!!”

— Mother, daughter successfully completed our 10-day thumb sucking elimination program
