From the very first meeting, when my daughter immediately felt comfortable and jumped into Ms. Abril's lap, it was clear we were in the right place. Ms. Abril excels at allowing children to lead and building on their language. Furthermore, she provided valuable insights into our daughter's language processing style and offered practical guidance on how to support her language development at home. We are extremely impressed with the quality of speech therapy provided and are very thankful to have been referred to Tulips Speech Therapy on Union St.

A huge special shout out to Madison - she's been absolutely incredible with our 2.5 year old and goes out of her way to make each and every session engaging, thoughtful, and meaningful! We can truly feel her passionate for this field! Our kiddo typically gets weary in new settings and new people, but he is always absolutely ecstatic to go to Tulips and see Madison. We've seen so much development in his speech since he's started! Thank you to this amazing team :)

My son has been attending Speech Inc for a couple of years and we have had a wonderful experience…read more(specifically with Brooke and Carolyn)! His expressive speech has completely transformed and he really enjoys each session with his speech therapist (he adores her!!). As a parent, what I have so valued about Speech Inc is their thorough, data-driven recording of abilities and progress, and outlining of specific goals that we revisit quarterly. I was a little apprehensive of how engaged my son could be once we had to switch to virtual appointments but have been so impressed with how well his speech therapist has been able to keep him engaged and keep his progress steady. It will be a bittersweet day when he graduates soon!

My son has attended Speech, Inc. for almost 5 years now and he recently graduated last week! We…read morecannot thank Speech enough and all their staff for his growth. He's learned to better communicate and we have even seen a change is his behavior. When he first started Speech (at ~2 yrs old), it was tough. My son used to cry for most of the time, but as he went once every week, he became comfortable and really enjoyed going there. They even started a small pre-k class, and he loved it! Unfortunately, COVID hit not too long after, but fortunately for us, when he started Kindergarten, Speech allowed his sessions to continue virtually. We'd like to especially thank Brooke and Erica, they have both been such wonderful teachers and really connected with my son. They have been so patient, pleasant, well-informative and understanding throughout our years at Speech.

Elisabeth is incredible. I have known her for about 6 years. Not only does she provide quality care…read morebut she is knowledgeable in a variety of specialty areas such as feeding, language, articulation, and early intervention. Elisabeth is passionate, patient, and kind. She is constantly keeping up with evidence based practices and strives to provide her clients with the best therapeutic experience. She is thoughtful in her approach and always sees the whole child. I am lucky to have such a knowledgeable colleague that I can collaborate with. I highly recommend her for speech and language therapy services.

Elisabeth did in-house visits which were really helpful for us. Weekly sessions with her were great for our daughter - she would be so excited on Tuesdays when "Liz is going to be here today!" She comes in with a variety of toys and techniques and leaves us with tips on how to encourage speech and articulation at home. Our child improved by leaps and bounds in the months following our work with Elizabeth - we would highly recommend her and Sweet Speech Therapy to anyone!

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My daughter has been seeing Hannah at Talk Shop Speech Therapy…read morefor a few years and her improvements are incredible. Hannah is an amazing speech therapist, is extremely knowledgeable, and obviously incredible with kids. My wife and I could not have asked for a better speech therapist with the best methods and deep understanding of her field and how to work with kids. To top it all off, her office is perfectly located in an incredibly magical place for little ones with conveniences nearby for awaiting parents. We are so happy we found Hannah!

So I was referred to here due to possible problems. Being on UCSF it was hard getting a CPMC…read moremedical appointment. The place was hard to get to being the busy part of Van Ness. Coming here most of the staff are friendly. Unfortunately not all, including some of the patrons. But even ran into one of the fellow NICU nursing mothers. It is tough having a child where they need to review their developmental status but the staff made it a lot easier.

We were referred here by our pediatrician to help address some oral feeding issues our infant son…read moreis experiencing. Whoa! What a relief to finally meet a therapist who actually works with our son and demonstrates best practices to use for feeding. Monica is amazing! She listens to your concerns and shows you how to approach feeding for an infant. For instance, like many of my mom friends currently do, you don't just shove puree into their mouths when they open it because you are essentially tricking your little one. When introducing purees your infant should open their mouth and come forward to accept the food. Getting to the center is a bit hectic but there is self parking available off of Sacramento and Vaness on the left. Drive slowly for you might just miss the parking sign.

I had been working on accent reduction for almost a year before taking lessons with Alex, because I…read morefelt I reached to plateau, and didn't know how to get to the next level. I decided to take lessons with Alex after talking to 7,8 accent coaches over the phone call. Alex gave me the most meticulous feedback, and it really hit the point. I like that he gave me a full analysis, pointed out exactly the things I needed to work on, then we drill on it. It's really helpful. He also response my questions after class with a detail feedback. It's a great experience learning with Alex. He has lots of patience, answer my question thoroughly. I can tell he is really interested in linguistic. And so do I. Highly recommend his class!

I have been taking lessons with Alex for a year now. It's mostly on and off, mostly off due to my…read morescheduling. The reason why I reached out to Alex was that I haven't been using my writing skills for years because I was in sales and it requires little to no professional writing at all. In the beginning, the cost was a bit higher than I had expected. I never had to pay for a tutor, so I don't know what the average price was. Nonetheless, I still scheduled a meeting with Alex. I wanted to see if $$$$ means quicker results. I have noticed that my writing skills have improved over the year. He was able to point out the mistakes I been overlooking and help me catch these mistakes. He is very patient and is willing to work with my crazy schedule. I can't say that my writing skills were improved overnight. It did require that I also do homework, and my willingness to improve as well. The bottom line, could I write a novel without any mistakes? No. Could I write professionally with little to no mistake? Sure.

Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.

Jennifer with really helpful and helped me with how these sounds are made, where my tongue should be positioned when I say them, whether they're voiced or voiceless and most importantly how to transition from one sound to the other as I speak. Sounds like the 'th', 'ng', 'p','b', 'r', 'j', 'g' and 'easure' were very difficult for me, but now as I hear myself speak, they're definitely correct now, and I definitely understood much better and more confident with my English. I have made a lot of improvement working with Jennifer!
