what our clients are saying?

Britta Dalbey connected so well with my daughter and helped to evaluate her speech needs and develop and implement a treatment plan. I knew I wanted her to help with my son when we discovered he needed help with speech as well. She proved just as invaluable with him. We saw excellent results and my kids always looked forward to visits with Britta.

Britta is an amazing speech therapist. She worked so hard with our son, and he loved every minute of it! Could not recommend her more highly.

b. brindle, review on facebook

Courtney is amazing! She is very understanding, listens, asks questions, and really gets up in your business, which is a good thing if you want a strong, respectable, and straight forward therapist. I felt extremely comfortable when telling her all about myself. She does not make you feel embarrassed or self-conscious at all. I would recommend. . .
