A1 Speech Therapy

"We are so fortunate to have Melanie help our 6-year-old son for the last year and a half! We now can understand him a lot better and he is able to immerse into a school environment without difficulty. We look forward to continue to see our son progress leaps and bounds. So thankful for the this gem of a business."

"My son was referred to speech therapy just as lockdown started, he was 2 years old. A1 gave us online sessions right away but he was just too young and could not follow. A1 worked with me and found a speech therapist who was willing to do in person appointments a couple months later. My son was one of only two kids who were doing in person appointments, but A1 kept the office open for us and worked so well with him. It took a year, but thanks to Melanie, we began making real progress and my son was finally able to call me mommy and tell me he basic needs. Melanie worked not only son, but also with me on techniques to work with at home. Now my son not doesn’t stop talking and I am so grateful to Meanie and the A1 team for everything they do."

"We have been going to A1 Speech Therapy for the past year and a half and have been so happy with our experience! Our son has made so much progress and we are thrilled with his growth. Melanie has been amazing! Her sessions keep our son engaged and interested. He is always so excited to meet with her each week! Melanie also does a great job communicating with us (his parents) about ways we can support our son's speech at home throughout the week. We could not be more thankful for A1 Speech!"

"My son started speech with A1 when he was a year and a half. I had so many feelings about his speech delay but the owner and speech therapist gave me such reassurance and worked so well with my son. They kept him engaged and immediately we saw progress. Now at 5, my son has made so much improvement. He loves working with Melanie and does not like having to miss a session with her. It shows what a true bond these two have made over the years. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable and challenges my son in the best way to develop and strengthen his communication skills. She uses his interests to work on skills so it does not even feel like work to him. I am grateful for all that A1 has done for my son."

"When I realized my two children needed speech therapy for the more challenging type of lisp (lateral), I began to research to find the absolute best place to take them. I was very particular about finding someplace with extensive experience helping with this particular speech challenge. After interviewing several places, I spoke with Janet and was immediately impressed with her extensive knowledge and her professionalism. She patiently answered all of my questions (I had many!). When I first took my young boys to her office, I was very impressed with how lovely, clean, modern and cheerful her therapy spaces were. Bright light, lots of toys and games, and a relaxed, fun atmosphere made it an enjoyable place for my boys to be. Janet did an excellent job analyzing my boys' speech issues and putting effective therapy into place. After assessing that both boys also needed to fix their R as well as their lateral lisp, the task seemed daunting, but Janet did an amazing job helping my boys effectively tackle their speech issues. After each session they got to choose a fun snack, and after 5 sessions, they got to choose a toy. My boys really looked forward to the toy rewards! One my sons worked with another therapist later in his therapy, and she, like Janet was absolutely excellent. Janet and her staff were not only very experienced, but also caring and fun, and always so encouraging and affirming of my boys' efforts and progress. I am happy to report that my boys' speech therapy with A1 was an absolute success, and they can now produce excellent Ss and Rs! I can't recommend A1 Speech Therapy highly enough. Do your child a favor and choose this excellent practice. Fixing a speech impediment is not easy. Your child deserves the best therapy possible."
