Megan DePuy is an exceptional speech therapist, and I couldn't have asked for a better one for my…read moreson. If you're also seeking a speech therapist for your child, Megan should be at the top of your list. My then-21-month-old son began working with Megan over a year ago, when she quickly identified his Childhood Apraxia of Speech. At that time, he could only say one syllable, "dah." Now, his language and articulation have improved so dramatically that he's essentially caught up to his 3 year old peers. My wife and I are certain that this progress is largely thanks to Megan's dedicated, consistent work with him. She also built a wonderful bond with our son, making their regular sessions together as true highlights of his week. Now that his speech has progressed, we're sad to be finishing our time with Megan, but grateful for how profoundly she helped our family. We're so happy knowing she'll continue making a great difference for others as she did for us.

This review is long overdue - I had a gut feeling that my 2 yr old had an undiagnosed speech delay…read more He didn't have comprehension issues but had problems verbalizing to the point that only my husband and I understood his singular responses and hand gestures. Initially, UCSF had recommend a speech center but I was put off by the idea of my shy kid seeing different therapists or doing group sessions. I wanted a focused session with instructor continuity. I myself am a nurse so I was looking for someone who had a great resume but also who was personable with kids - I searched the internet and found Megan. MEGAN IS PHENOMENAL!!!! She's kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable, caring and was able to engage my very very shy toddler. What I love most about Megan is she had fun interactive approaches to initiate the speech therapy that both my husband and I could easily do at home with our kiddo. It's been 10 months with Megan and now our son won't STOP TALKING!!! It's incredible- she is a God send. Please trust your gut instincts if you feel your child needs speech therapy and RUN to see MEGAN. It's so amazing to hear our kiddo tell us "Good Morning - I Love you so much!" THANK YOU MEGAN!

I don't know exactly how to rate a speech therapy place, but I'll try my best! Speech is what I…read moreneeded for my whole life. I grew up, and still have, a lisp that makes it difficult for people to understand me when I talk. It's something that I've had to work through my whole life. And here, it has definitely helped me a lot of ways. For me, every week I do exercises on how to improve my tongue movement on how to fully make the most of my sounds and such. But the biggest thing for me is building my confidence. All my life, speech has been one of my biggest insecurities. Here, I've learned to be okay with it and work through it, to build my confidence. I don't know exactly how to rate this, but it's working for me, why not try it for yourself?

I just received an email from the coordinator on my availability a couple months back and that was it. I thought I was the only one going through this but spoke with another mom and same deal with her. If you are also in much need of speech therapy, do not wait for these folks!

From the start, she really took the time to get to know him, and every session felt more like a fun activity than therapy. What stood out to us is how she combines a warm, natural connection with kids and strong professional skills as a speech therapist. She's patient, attentive, and really listens, and you can see how much she cares and wants to help. It creates a real sense of comfort and trust, both for kids and for parents. We feel very lucky to have found her.

It is hard to put into words how grateful our family is for Mega. For nearly three years, she was…read moresuch an important part of our son's life and our family's journey. When we first started speech therapy, we hoped for progress, but we could never have imagined just how transformative her impact would be. Thanks to her incredible expertise, patience, and dedication, our son made tremendous strides and ultimately graduated from speech therapy. Today, he is communicating at an age-appropriate level, something that once felt uncertain and far away. We will always be grateful for the role she played in helping him get there. What makes Mega truly exceptional, however, is who she is as a person. From the very beginning, she made our son feel safe, understood, and celebrated. She had a remarkable gift for helping him see that he was never "broken" or "behind"--just a wonderful little boy with his own unique strengths and challenges. She met him exactly where he was, while gently and skillfully helping him grow. As parents, there is nothing more meaningful than entrusting your child to someone who genuinely loves and believes in them. We always knew that our son was more than just another patient to her. She cared deeply about him, cheered for his successes, comforted him through frustrations, and invested in him wholeheartedly. She also supported us as parents, offering encouragement, guidance, and reassurance throughout the process. The progress our son made is extraordinary, but the confidence she helped build in him may be the greatest gift of all. She changed the trajectory of his life in ways that our family will never forget. We will always think of Mega with tremendous gratitude and affection. Any child and family would be incredibly fortunate to work with her. We will miss her! (My son asks the FaceTime her to say hello all the time!!). Hands down call her if you need help!

Although we only worked with Shamim for three months our child made tremendous progress with her help. We only stopped working with her because we moved out of state. If we could continue services with her, we absolutely would. Shamim is wonderful with kids. It is evident that she has years of experience working with children of all ages and variety of concerns as well as with parents. Her approach is warm, caring, supportive, playful, knowledgeable, creative, and engaging. She was flexible with her treatment approach and met our child where he was at. Our child always looked forward to their sessions. She is also great at managing behavioral regulation and provided some practical techniques to us as parents. In addition, Shamim is wonderful working with parents. We appreciated her willingness to consider realistic recommendations on how to help our child and practice speech/language at home given our busy schedules. She kept us informed with his progress. Even after we moved, she checked in with us and she helped us find resources in our area. I truly believe that working with Shamim was integral to the improvement and further speech and language development of child and has been very beneficial with his progress socially and academically.
