All Island Speech and Stuttering Therapy

"Lori’s knowledge, professionalism and patience make her one of a kind. She gave my daughter the confidence and skills to overcome her stutter and improve her articulation. My daughter always looked forward to her sessions with Lori. We are forever thankful for the time she took to help our family navigate the entire process together."

"My daughter has struggled with stuttering since she began to form sentences. As she was aging, it was getting more frequent/severe and I was growing more and more concerned. I was not getting much help or guidance from her pediatrician and local speech therapy, and I came across Lori from doing my own research on preschool stuttering. We worked with Lori virtually (we are out of the state of New York) for a few months. To simply say she is amazing is an understatement. Lori is wonderful with children, so knowledgeable on the topic of stuttering, and was supportive not only to my daughter, but to me as well. My daughter looked forward to our weekly meetings together, and in time, her speech began to become more and more fluent. If you have a child who struggles with disfluency, and you are considering Lori, I would highly recommend her. Before meeting her, I felt somewhat helpless in helping my daughter with her speech. Through her direction, and working together, Lori gave me the tools I needed to make a difference in my daughters speech."

"We were so fortunate to find All Island Speech and work with Lori to help our (at the time) 3 year old daughter overcome severe stuttering. As a first time mother I was scared, nervous, and confused about why my daughter was unable to speak fluently. Lori assured me that we would work together and overcome her stuttering using the Lidcombe program. I was hopeful but unsure how it would work. Lori went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule to ensure my daughter received all necessary services. She was always reassuring and hopeful. I am happy to say that my daughter will be 7 and you would never know that she had facial grimaces and blockages while trying to speak at age 3. By age 4, my daughter no longer needed Lori's speech services but she promised us that she will always be there for us because stuttering is cyclical and can return. She kept her promise because we saw her one time after my daughter's declassification to "brush up" on her speech. Lori is our miracle worker and we are forever grateful."

"Lori worked with my son on his lisp - she laid out a plan and rough time line so I knew what to expect. My son enjoyed his sessions with her, as they involved a lot of play, and before long, he had beautiful Ssss! Thank you Lori!"

"My son went to All Island Speech for a lisp, stutter and stammer. Along the therapy process, Lori insisted my son needed more evaluation. And she was right; he was diagnosed with Apraxia of speech, which was incredibly rare, back then. Lori always was my son's biggest advocate and guided my husband and I through the journey. She instilled structure, patience, and determination in my son and our whole family. I am happy to report that my son is now in Seventh grade, applying all he learned at All Island to life, school, social skills and activities. His speech is managed and he is truly thriving. Thank you, Lori, for everything you did! My son wouldn't be where he is without you."
