Business Review
“MY DAUGHTER’S VOCABULARY EXPLODED”
“Sarah has been treating my daughter for 2.5 years, and now my son for over a year. When she first started treating my daughter, she only had about thirty words in her vocabulary, at age two and a half. Sarah quickly diagnosed her and explained her reasoning and treatment plan. After only a few sessions did we realize how truly special Sarah is. My daughter’s vocabulary exploded, and she was constantly giving us suggestions for exercises at home. We tried to implement all of her suggestions the best that we could, and now we have a 5-year-old who won’t stop talking. She still sees Sarah for some articulation issues, but she is very close to age appropriate speech levels going into kindergarten. We are so thankful for Sarah. She is amazing with kids, trustworthy, compassionate, and yields measurable results. We couldn’t be happier with her, and I have recommended her services as often as I can, and will continue to do so. ”

“HER TOOLBOX OF SUGGESTIONS AND METHODS IS ENDLESS!”
“Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does. She has extensive knowledge and a gifted ability to use play to assess/teach your child speech skills. She also gives thorough explanations to parents so you can continue to help your child at home. Her toolbox of suggestions and methods is endless! Her demeanor is absolutely professional, but also so down to earth and friendly. She is positive, patient, and caring with her kiddos. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
