Minette was recommended to us by the neuropsychologist who tested and wrote my child's evaluation…read more She worked with one of my children who has a dyslexia/dysgraphia diagnosis and then worked with my other child who was struggling with organizing writing. In total, our family has worked with Minette for just over eighteen (18) months. Minette's has an incredible ability to connect with my children. She built rapport and trust, she's honest and engaging. She is able to skillfully walk students (and parents) through testing data and explain what it means. She focused on my children's strengths and uses them to develop their areas of weakness. She's kind, clear, and firm and was just so competent at getting my children to buy in to working very (very) hard and being able to see their gains and improvements. Our successes with Minette: With my dyslexic child--she saw Minette 2x/week. I typically took my child to tutoring during the school day for her sessions with Minette. She started tutoring in January of 1st grade, struggling to read and unable to produce (phonemic) written work--lots of great writing, but nothing that we could read. At the end of first grade she was able to sound out words and read (at level D/E), and do some phonetic writing. At the end of 2nd grade, my child was reading at level M (upper end of grade level) and expanded her writing ability. Most importantly, she learned self-advocacy skills and strategies for reading/catching errors/self-checking and early strategies for writing. The self-checking skills are critical b/c it helps my child understand that mistakes will happen, they need to be caught and corrected, and then you keep on going. With my child who was struggling with writing--she did a few assessments, reviewed some writing samples, and listened to some school history, then crafted several sessions focused on how to organize ideas, how to construct sentences, paragraphs, etc (and punctuation/grammar). After his second session, I received an excited email from his teacher, "[Student] wrote a full page during writing time. It was well written!" Typically, this child would struggle to eek out two sentences. Minette is a highly-capable and dedicated Speech and Language Pathologist. She is able to develop, execute, and communicate an intervention plan and keep everyone moving forward and goal-focused. I have recommended her to many families and their experience has been similar to mine. Thank you so much for supporting our family, Minette!

I have been insecure about speaking in group settings, on the phone, etc for years. I have…read morestuttered/stammered for as long as I can remember and have been embarrassed and afraid to get help. My husband is very supportive and did research on speech therapy for me, and found Minette. I am so thankful. I was extremely nervous upon our first meeting but that quickly went away. Minette made me feel instantly comfortable and at ease. I worked with Minette weekly for about six months and made huge strides in understanding my speech. learning about stuttering, how your mouth and tongue muscles all work together to speak was eye opening. The biggest take aways for me were techniques to relax muscles that tense while I read out loud. (I have two young children I read to daily) And also being comfortable and accepting my speech imperfections was huge for me. I highly recommend Minette. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to, and really cares about helping you.

They also offer a parent education class for parents to apply the needed skills for the other 23 hours in the day when your child isn't at therapy. This really acts like a turbo boost to your chid's speaking capabilities. This is a very well run organization that really deserves the donations for its cause.

Extremely disorganized and unprofessional. We sent two of…read moreour children to Childrens Communication Corner for speech therapy. While the services were beneficial and progress was made, the experience was completely tainted by the lack of organization and unprofessional business practices. When we signed up for services, a discount was offered for having a second child receive services as well. We received services over a nine month period. We paid as went as insurance did not cover any of the sessions. Invoices or monthly statements were never provided and we simply asked them to charge our credit card as we went. About thirty days after we finished the sessions, we received a bill what appeared to be the final sessions. We did not dispute the bill and paid it. We later received another bill and took it as valid and sent them a check. A few weeks later, (now several months since we last received services)we received the check back with a note saying our account was paid in full and we did not owe any more money. Three months later I receive a call from "Pete" at my workplace who is calling to say our account is past due and we owe him $421 and if we don't pay right now he is sending us to collections. I proceeded to explain that his company returned our last payment to us with a statement saying the account was paid in full and that there must be a misunderstanding. He became very rude and beligerent and demanded payment immediately. From here things got worse. Pete harassed us continually. He said the therapist that provided the services did not bill us correctly, that she was not authorized to give an additional child discount and that he was going to reverse the discount and bill the full amounts. A month later he sent us invoices and statements indicating we owe them over $900 and demanded payment. He threatened collections throughout. We did not have anything in writing from them regarding the sibling discount, and as they did not provide on going invoices or statements we had nothing to argue his trumped up charges and invoices. We value our credit and do not want a fight with collections. We paid the $900 and will never do business with them again. Get everything in writing while they are trying to "sign you up" and demand invoices and statements. They are not the friendly "mom & pop" operation they claim to be.
