Testimonials

I’m a mother of a 4 years old non verbal level two autistic child. When we started all the intervention therapies, the first therapist who called us back and gave us an appointment was from Therapy for Language and Communication, LLC. When we stated our son wasn’t making eye contact and he had an incredible hard time attending to sessions without meltdowns , he threw toys backwards and turned his back when approached.
We also had no idea how to proceed forward in conjunction with other therapies in order to get the right help all around because unfortunately the public pre school system didn’t have the right resources to help our son. that was information thankfully given to us from the public system teachers and professionals themselves.
But working with TLC we were also guided into the right of options of the incredibly qualified professionals who practiced the other needed resources our son was missing in his early intervention. We have a qualified team now!!!
Today we are in a completely different place than where we started almost a year ago. Our son says makes eye contact , he no longer avoid social interactions, he started with his alternative visual communication beginning summer and it’s soon graduating into an IPad . He squeaks of happiness when he arrives at TLC, and the speech therapeutic team there has not only supported his intervention but also has being a warm shoulder to lean on where I can share my experience and concerns .
I hope my experience helps another parent who like me felt Speech therapy review 2024
Thank you TLC !!

Our daughter has struggled with her speech from an early age due to various reasons including a facial nerve palsy. Once graduating from birth to three we were recommended to start speech therapy and our pediatrician recommended TLC.
Our daughter has now been seeing Maureen for over a year now and we’ve seen so much improvement in her ability to communicate. Maureen is so kind and patient with my very active toddler and makes speech therapy so fun for her. She comes up with activities that are tailored to what my daughter likes and really captures her attention for the entire 45 minutes (which is really a challenge as anyone with a toddler would know!).
After every session she gives us practice sheets and tips on what to work on at home which has been very helpful. In addition she keeps in contact with her school speech therapist to make sure they work together on addressing my daughter’s needs so everyone is on the same page.
TLC has given my daughter the gift of communication and me the confidence and tools to help her work through her speech issues. I truly am so grateful to have them in our lives and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

TLC has been such a great support for my son!
Although he receives speech services at school, I felt it was just not enough. He’s been making so much progress and wanted to make sure he continued that outside of school. TLC has given him that one on one attention and assistance especially with using his AAC device. They also make sure to actively communicate with the school on what Johnny is working on so that the whole team is on the same page. My son has been able to express his thoughts through different language devices/skills. He’s been going here a little over a year now. I can’t thank Lynn at TLC enough!

I was recommended to TLC by my son’s pediatrician when he showed signs of speech delay. We have been seeing Lisa for almost two years now and I could not be more grateful that she was introduced to us. Anyone who’s child has a speech delay, know the signs of frustration are crying and screaming when we do not understand what our child needs. That was my son’s immediate reaction anytime anyone did not know what he was asking for or wanted. He spent months expressing himself this way to his family and even Lisa. Lisa never got upset. She knew Jacion was frustrated and always was calm and attentive towards him. She worked with him to figure out what he wanted and never showed one sign of frustration towards my son. I love how she tailored each week and month by my son’s progress. At first it was getting Jacion comfortable with Lisa so he enjoyed coming each week, and she would label each item or reactions so he could hear the son. Then she made us a customized binder with picture cards in it. She picked pictures of my son’s favorite foods or activities. This way my son could hand me the picture instead of screaming and crying when I did not know what he wanted. After ever session, she would bring me in the room during the last fifteen minutes, to show me what they worked on and what to mimic when I got home.
It is almost,two years later and my son is starting to put words and sentences together. He enjoys going to TLC every Saturday to see Lisa. One thing I could say is that Lisa never made him feel like he was there to work. She made it feel like he was there to play but also incorporating speech without him knowing. It made it easy to go each week instead of him not wanting to go.
I recommend anyone who has a child or adult who has a speech impairment to visit TLC. I honestly do not know how my son would be communicating today without Lisa and the whole crew at TLC.

Sarah has done wonders for our daughter! Aside from Sarah’s excellent work with our daughter regarding speech services, Sarah helped us to receive services from our town! Our daughter was able to get into a special school program! We can not say enough about Sarah and how amazing she is. All the help she provided and outreach that she helped us with has been so very helpful to our daughter. We are so very lucky to have found Sarah and our daughter looks forward every week to see her! Thank you to Sarah and TLC you have made communicating with our daughter so helpful and easy we could not do it without you!
