The receptionist Melissa makes my son always feel heard and valued! She really understands these kiddos and has no judgement and has more patience than I DO for my rowdy kiddo who HATES waiting for his appointment to start! Her lived experience as a fellow momma of a neurospicy kiddo makes her such an asset to the families that come through here! The other reviews on here surprised me about the receptionist because I feel nothing but acceptance, peer support and no judgement from her every week since we started coming here! She gets it and is ALWAYS hard at work and STILL makes conversation when I won't STOP talking her ear off. Gift of speech is a blessing to us in Stockton where services are scarce for our kiddos who have needs that this local community can't always meet. Now if they would just open an Occupational Therapy clinic next........... The gift of OT perhaps?

As a parent, I tried my best to teach him but having a speech therapist help really makes a difference. We are given resources that can be practiced at home which is great. The office is also friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for a speech therapist don't hesitate to come here and ask for Ms. Adriana!

When I came to Dr. Wong Lerner, I needed help with my speech for the purpose of my work, and to develop my career. But I gained so much more. Dr. Wong Lerner conducted a very thorough evaluation of my speech to start, and then a couple of weeks later went over an "Accent spectrum" report that had all of the areas of speech that needed attention. What impressed and still impresses me about Dr. WL's expertise of speech, working with ESL people, and language (she has a passive knowledge of Chinese and some other languages) is that she knows so much in so many different areas. But also, it's the way she makes me feel safe and comfortable with this process of re-learning English for my job and my personal growth that would have otherwise been very difficult for me. And was difficult. I have already shifted my speech from a very closed mouth and not being able to pronounce many different consonants and vowels and words, to now where I have moved past much of that and I am learning speech patterns, and more complicated aspects of speech. I have learned not only how to speak better, but I've become more confident at my job and in my life. Shannon taught me how to speak more clearly but also how to speak up for myself! I do not hesitate to recommend her to any ESL speaker for these same accent reduction services (or I heard she works with UK speakers). This will be a lifelong set of lessons for me! Thank you, Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner!

I didn't enjoy speaking, I didn't think I could do it in front of a group, and honestly, the only way I got through a presentation was by reading my slides word for word.

I took my son who is a student here so we could spend a little time together one day between his classes and I was absolutely amazed. The service was so friendly! The decor is nice with linen table cloths and napkins; you feel like you've been whisked away to a little 5 star restaurant. The prices are more than reasonable and everything we ordered was delicious! Many looked like little works of art. There were a few issues with organization, time management, etc of course but that is to be expected in a learning environment. I am so glad we found this little gem and I can't believe it wasn't packed full of people. I guess the secret's not out yet. I will be back the next chance I get!

This is the unsung jewel of Stockton! (My little private oasis)…read more These students cook their hearts out. There's white linen tablecloths. There's light music. There's even a few outdoor tables complete with a sun-umbrella. Sometimes you get a novice server but they're never rude. The food is a leap of faith: sometimes they knock it out of the park and on a few occasions it was average. But I've always LOVED something (or more than a few) things on my plate. They are much more accomodating regarding dietary restrictions, the veggies are fresh and so are the desserts! The desserts are to die for...you MUST leave space for dessert or else you'll hate yourself as you drool over something about to be devoured at another table. Last week I had a great chicken tagine and for the sweet stuff - chocolate lava cake with raspberry drizzle...OMG it was LUSCIOUS! Also, I took a friend to lunch here and as it was her birthday I asked the servers to sing "Happy Birthday" when they brought her dessert out. They did one better, they sang and wrote "Happy Birthday" on her plate in chocolate! You are NOT going to get this kind of food value in Stockton, I guarantee you. Hey - tip well, these students pool their tip $$$ for an end-of-the-school-year trip to the Bay for a culinary tour. INSIDERS TIP: They have a Student Chef Hot Plate Express inside the cafeteria. For $5.50, you get a hot entree with a carb and veggie - the most bang for your buck! Again, I've never been disappointed. They also have a cold counter where they have sandwiches and salads. No - they haven't paid me off. They deserve all the accolades and then some! Here's a link to the menu, but if you take my corner table by the window I'll have to kill you. Slowly. I'm just kidding. Well, not really. :) http://www.deltacollege.edu/dept/foodservice/student_chef/menu.html
