He was diagnosed with Autism at age 1.5 and Sharlyn has been working with him for the past 2 years.She is a complete professional, courteous, energetic and super knowledgable about all things Autism and speech related. She was the first person who told us that our son has Apraxia in addition to his Autism diagnosis and she has been diligently working with him to help him overcome his challenges. We have gone from having a completely nonverbal child with no expressive or receptive language to a happy, curious, chatty 3.5 year old who has a huge vocabulary, understands most of what we say and has recently started using 2-5 word phrases and sentences!! Sharlyn is always happy to answer all your questions and go the extra mile to help your child - she has helped us with IEP meetings, social stories and generally been a great resource. She is great with kids and also with giving us ideas and tips on how to generalize strategies to the home environment. If you have a child with any kind of speech or articulation issues, we highly recommend Sharlyn and Chatterbox Speech therapy!

She also provided detailed summaries of their progress to my wife and me, and was always available to answer any questions we had. The therapy Jacque provided helped to resolve all of the speech delays and challenges that my kiddos had, which, again, is amazing. In addition, the scheduling, billing, and overall level of service provided by Kate was top notch - very responsive and friendly, and understanding when things like last minute illnesses (#kiddolife) popped up and caused us to miss sessions.

My family feels very lucky that we discovered Smarter Speech, through Google search, after a very…read moreconfusing process of searching for speech therapy with centers, clinics and with early intervention. The assessment and scheduling process was very easy, Aamani was ready to answer all our questions and concerns, she was kind enough to work around our schedules and was visiting us at home for the sessions. This made the process way easier and also comfortable for my daughter. We started working with Smarter Speech after our 2 year old missed her speech milestones. We started in April (had a break in June-July) and now in October, our daughter has officially graduated from her therapy. Aamani did an amazing job with her and with us, parents, as she gave us tips and tricks, areas to focus each week, she has tons of toys, she brings over, so our daughter was excited to play with her and improve her speech. I would strongly recommend Smarter Speech to everyone who is looking for a speech therapist. Especially now, when most of the centers still offer only an online sessions.

I am a single father that struggled to find helpful resources for my 6 year old autistic son,…read moreAyden, that is non-verbal. I leaned on my job's network and I had multiple peers singing the praises of Bright Stars for speech therapy. Due to the hurdles I have faced in the past, I was rather pessimistic at first and made some assumptions, that maybe this place would be like others with a long waitlist and would just forget about me. However, Kristen White reached out to me even though there was a waitlist and pulled some strings to assist me in getting care that I need because she saw how bad I was struggling. Her smile and calming tone gave me hope that there was a light at the end of the tunnel with getting my child the help he needs. After the evaluation, we did not have to wait too long before we are connected with Chelsea Miranda. She was an amazing start in my speech therapy journey and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. My son, Ayden, would run to her in excitement and ready for the educational play. Although she informed me she was relatively new, I feel like her willingness to engage with my son every session and focusing on building a connection won me over with Bright Stars. Due to scheduling issues I am having at the moment, unfortunately we no longer could work with Chelsea. On the other hand, in life when one door closes another door opens, and I could not be more happy to start working with Dakota Noble. When I tell you, I was nearly emotional after our first few sessions because I felt like the insurance commercial, I am finally in good hands. The cool thing about Dakota is that she have a vast background working with autistic children and day one I could tell she was the one (therapist wise of course, don't want my girlfriend mad at me). The way Ayden runs to the center and grabs her hand and take her to the room for their session warms my heart. I am just an engineer that is still figuring out this fatherhood and child services for a special needs child out. Not only has Ayden been building a connection and growing, but she has been an outstanding mentor from a parenting perspective on figuring out how to navigate everything. She is so intelligent, patience, and kind. It is an interesting feeling to not only have your child feeling heard, understood, and seen, but a parent that is fighting to be the best parent they can be feeling the same way is unmatched. So I say all of this because I wanted to show my appreciation of the Bright Stars staff that includes the front desk that has worked with my chaotic schedule too, Candace Carson-Brunt and Carol Cabri. Thank you all and I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to continuing to work with you all.

Kristen and Dakota kept sessions fun and engaging while working on oral motor skills, articulation, and vocabulary. Their annual testing and plans were easy to share with her school team, which kept everyone focused on the same goals.

I'm very grateful for the support and partnership Bright Stars has provided and highly recommend them.

From the start, Julia focused on setting the right, achievable goals, and it made all the difference. Because of her expertise, my son was able to meet every milestone we set.

Most importantly, my son absolutely loves her and looks forward to every session. We couldn't be happier with the progress he's made! I also want to give a huge shout-out to Tracy at the front desk! She is always so welcoming and helpful.

Krystle uses neurodiversity affirming practices in her services and I really appreciate how she gave my daughter the freedom to decide what she wanted to do during the therapy sessions and kept her interests and needs in mind when interacting with her. Krystle also offered advice and support to me on how I could use strategies to help build my daughter's communication skills at home and in the community. Now that my daughter is a teenager and prefers spending more time with her own age peers, I'm so grateful to Krystle and Karen for starting the monthly AAC outings where my daughter gets to interact and make friends with other AAC users in the community. We have been attending these outings for 3 years now. My daughter has developed some great friendships from these outings and she has so much fun hanging out with them at parks, go hiking, visit farms, go to the movies, etc. It's such a great experience that she gets to do things just like other teenagers and also gets the opportunity to build her communication skills in the community. Thank you Krystle and Karen for all the amazing work you do!!
