Articulation
"Allyson came on time every week to our sessions for my daughter. They worked on my daughter's articulation and did so in a fun and engaging way. All I could hear from the other room was laughter! MY daughter has made tremendous progress and her speech is finally being understood. She never wanted her speech sessions to end!"

Articulation and Language
"Allyson's cheery and energetic personality is professional and engaging. She was made to work with kids! I was hesitant with how my child would do with teletherapy, but Allyson made it as if she was right in person with us. My son is extremely shy, but Allyson really took the time to establish a great relationship with him and made him feel comfortable. They were acting out story books and singing while targeting his speech and language skills. We are blessed to have had her!"

Fluency
"Wow. I never thought I would feel comfortable about my stutter as I have tried to hide it my entire life. Allyson taught me strategies to increase my fluency, but what I did not expect was her ability to reframe my outlook on my stutter. She helped me become more open and accepting about my stutter and really addressed my negative thoughts with it. My life has changed because of her. She is caring, honest, funny, and made me feel comfortable. I could not have asked for a better therapist for me."

Pragmatics
"It has been a very tough year for socialization for my son who already lacks strong social communication. Allyson organized a social group for my son and wow- he is finally able to request, take turns, show kindness and generosity, and so much more. Allyson was so dedicated to help and really facilitated natural communication. More importantly, she also accepted my son for who he is and did not try to change him. She just enhanced his skills that he was self-motivated to work on. My son even has his own play dates with the other clients in the group! She was professional, engaging, kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. We are lucky to have had her!"
