What Parents Are Saying
“

She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with A lison- she was fantastic to work with.

- Christine W.We were amazed with Allison!
“

We had a terrific experience. My twin boys Max and Teddy (3 in October) just finished eight months of speech therapy with Amy. Amy was terrific. The boys progressed so much over the past eight months that they were discharged far sooner than I could have anticipated. They also loved her visits, which was really just an added bonus. I also very much appreciated that Amy was sensitive to our needs and discharged the boys when she knew they were ready. I m sure that's a tough call to make but in tighter financial times it's good to know that someone will be candid about the need for her services.
That meant a lot.

- Anne SperlingI wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amy to other families.
“

My son is 2.5 years old and has been working with Craig for about 6 months. Craig is amazing with my son; he is a ways prepared and changes each treatment session to address the needs of my son. Craig has a great approach using play to elicit words, phrases, and sentences. At this point, my son is now saying 3-word sentences and each week he shows improvement. He is a ways excited to see Craig for his weekly sessions. In addition, it is convenient that Craig comes to our home to perform his treatment sessions.

- Jaclyn, mom of KennyI highly recommend Manhattan Letters and Craig for speech therapy services
