My son has been seeing Teresa for many years. She worked for Julie Kahn & Associates (another…read morefabulous practice) in Highland Park for awhile and then opened up her own practice in Northfield this summer. Teresa specializes in myofunctional therapy, which uses physical therapy exercises to improve breathing, facial posture and bite. While my son is expected to be in speech for longer he's made great improvements thanks to Teresa, a tongue tie procedure last year and starting orthodontics on the earlier side with Dr. Boyd (a dentist located in the city who specializes in airways). Teresa herself makes therapy fun for my son and he's always happy to go. He's been doing this a long time now so I appreciate that she finds ways to make it fun so that he doesn't get too sick of it. She's also been very helpful when it comes to speaking with Dr. Boyd, our ENT, and the speech therapists at his school. In fact, the therapists at school were so wow'd with Teresa that they even brought her in at one point to do a training for them. The only negative is that Teresa does not take insurance, although from my own research I found it difficult to find a speech therapist who specializes in myofunctional therapy that does take insurance. We did find someone many years ago, but she wasn't nearly as good as Teresa so this is money well spent. I do submit my bills to insurance every week and a little bit is covered each time. I do hope we get thru his treatment soon between the high therapy bills every month + time spent, but I do know that Teresa takes great care of him and has his best interest at heart.

I worked with Sofia Magnuson for about five months to improve my professional English communication…read moreskills, and I highly recommend her. Not only did my English improve, but I also gained much more confidence speaking in professional settings. Colleagues at work even noticed the improvement in my communication. Sofia used a variety of techniques tailored to my specific needs and goals. She was always supportive and willing to answer questions, even when I brought in exercises and practice from other speech therapy apps. I appreciated how flexible and personalized her approach was rather than following a rigid curriculum. If you're looking to improve your English communication skills and build confidence, Sofia is an excellent speech therapist and coach.

Jamie has been working with our son who was diagnosed with suspected apraxia, and I am blown away…read morewith the progress he has made while working with her. Not only does our son absolutely LOVE Jamie, but my husband and I have also found Jamie to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in showing us strategies that we can use to help our son grow outside of sessions too. Jamie is always willing to go the extra mile for us. When we originally came to Jamie, my son wasn't able to imitate sounds. It hasn't even been a full year with Jamie, and he is using his words to communicate with us, even stringing together 3-4 word sentences! We can't believe it. We are so grateful to have found Jamie. If you are looking for an incredible speech pathologist around the North Shore, I highly recommend Jamie at the Little Speech Clinic.

Little Steps is awesome! My 2-year-old has been seeing a pediatric physical therapist there. When…read morehe started therapy, my son had a lot of trouble walking independently and issues with other motor skills. He has come a long way since we began working with Little Steps, though. Now he can't stop racing his older brother around the house. Additionally, their facility in North Shore is conveniently located and staffed with warm and welcoming faces. Thank you to everyone at Little Steps for always making therapy a positive experience. We all know kids usually hate going to doctors, but mine loves the therapists at Little Steps. Their kindness and compassion make a potentially dreaded appointment enjoyable instead. If you're looking for a pediatric therapy provider that your kids love, this is the place for you. We are so happy we picked Little Steps to help with our son's needs. It is truly important to find the right pediatric therapists at such a young age since these are the critical years in any child's development. Thank you, Little Steps!

When our then just turned one girl began at NSPT in April, she wasn't walking and barely rolling…read moreover. She was refusing the appropriate table foods, and mainly bottle fed. Thanks to her physical therapist, via both weekly office visits and get suggested at home routine, by August, she was up and walking. It is now six months later, and we can barely catch her when she takes off. We've gotten detailed progress reports all along the way. As for the feeding, the therapy was invaluable in terms of types of foods, tricks, and techniques. We have since discontinued the feeding therapy, as after the first few months, what we learned has been effective and she has been eating the appropriate foods, and it now depends on her tastes. Personal relationships were built between she and both therapists. Her big sister, who's always along for the ride seems to know the whole crew as well. One thing that I've noticed that some people don't get is that these are therapists, each with an area of expertise. This being said, they are not physicians. They can offer insight and advice regarding your child's progress, but they are not licensed to provide a medical diagnosis. Further concerns should be addressed with your pediatrician. If there's one blemish, it's the parking situation. They share a fairly small parking lot with other offices in the building. While their is some street parking, when you're lugging in one or more children and infants, and the associated supplies, it's quite a pain. It's too bad, as right behind the office is the parking lot for something (auto shop?) that's always vacant, but parking there is prohibited. That part is by no means NSPT's fault, but it's too bad that they can't buy out a portion of that lot.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would…read more Parents please stay away from this place. They will push hours and refuse to cut hours even if it's too much for your child. Literally because we wanted to reduce hours for the benefit of my son they told us we would be "discharged". This was after frequent SIB and a neurologist suggesting to cut hours. This is after giving them over 7,000 dollars. They refused to work with us or even try to reduce hours! Also BCBA came here on Fridays for a hour and did nothing but try to push hours and talk. She was supposed to be helping us with daily living skills and she did none of that. We wasted about 8 or 9 months there and lots of $$. Stay away from Karen the BCBA and this whole place. They care about money not what is best for the child
