I highly, highly recommend Sara. She worked with our son for almost 2 years both at her office and…read moreat his school. And in that time she helped immensely with his pronunciation as well as his occasional stammer. We found her when we were panicked as he had always had minor speech delays, but the stammer came out of nowhere and we had has some prior experience with not great speech pathologists. Not only did our son have incredible success and improvement with Sara (he barely has "bumpy speech" anymore and when he does, he has tools to help with it) but also her knowledge, approach, demeanor and vibe was fantastic and comforting to us. We knew he was in good hands. Her play based and game based techniques have been very effective. If we hadn't left the area, our son would still be working with her.

She gave me so much confidence even from our first telephone call that she would be a great fit for our son. Sara was so helpful in educating us more about stuttering and she empowered my son with knowledge and information to better understand his own stuttering. She is knowledgeable about the most up to date research and techniques in speech therapy and she is very aware of the social emotional needs of clients like my son who are struggling with their speech. Sara's sessions are engaging, varied, well thought out and prepared. She is engaged in what she does and really cares. Her office is inviting and warm, but even as we recently switched to doing our sessions remotely/virtual, she has been doing an amazing job at keeping the sessions just as engaging and relevant to our son. We have seen a lot of improvement in my son's confidence over these last few months and are so appreciative for how Sara has helped him.

Words cannot adequately describe how skilled Amy is with children or how much she has helped our…read morefamily. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Amy first started working with our family 5 years ago with my oldest daughter. My oldest daughter was 18 months old at the time and was delayed in her speech development. Amy began working with her weekly and the transformation was remarkable. Soon, my daughter not only caught up to her peers in her speech development, she quickly surpassed her peers in her speech, pronunciation, and comprehension. My daughter was able to articulate complicated thoughts and ideas and had a wide-ranging vocabulary. Today, 5 years later, my daughter has a vocabulary well above her grade level, is academically gifted, and reads sixth grade books in the second grade. Amy's work with her played a large part in her developing a love of language. My third child (a little under 2 years old) also has delayed speech development. Within weeks of working with Amy, his speech development is skyrocketing. It is so nice that we can communicate with our son and he can articulate his emotions and desires to us rather than be frustrated because we couldn't understand him. In short, for parents whose children need help with their speech development, Amy is an expert in her field and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is able to immediately connect with the child she is working with and assist with their speech development. We were blessed to find Amy 5 years ago and lucky enough to get to work with her again now.

I hoped that his language would just improve with time. But in the year that she's seen him, he has completely blossomed and is now a total chatterbox.

She's very knowledgable and passionate about all things speech, and her warm nature with children is infectious. I honestly think I'm a better parent all around because of her. We are so grateful to have her in our lives.

We continue to work together on expressive communication, and every step forward is a victory we celebrate together. What sets Ms. Jess apart is her genuine dedication. She goes above and beyond to learn more about our daughter's AAC device and Proloquo software, making sure she can communicate in ways that feel natural and empowering. She takes time to individualize every activity and helps us as parents feel confident continuing those strategies at home. Ms. Jessica's compassion, creativity, and commitment make her one in a million. For any family seeking an exceptional speech therapist who truly cares, I can't recommend her enough.

To start off, I am clearly biased and would give 20 stars if I could. My son has been with Teresa…read moreat SGV Speech for approximately 4 years. When he first attended he was 3yo and nonverbal, showing capacity for speech but not yet using any words. Prior to Teresa we had two other SLPs and the fit and match was never quite right (either with my son nor us as parents). Teresa has been phenomenal from the start - patient, calm, warm, engaging, and incredibly apt in her assessment and interventions with my son. He graduated from speech two months ago and the relationship he built with Teresa is so clear from his fondness of her. He has made tremendous progress, which is evident from going from nonverbal and using sounds to communicate to sentences, correct pronunciation, context, and ongoing conversation. Teresa is knowledgeable, sharp, and creative in the methods she utilizes to engage with my son. Additionally, Rosa (office staff extraordinaire) is so easy to work with and communicative. We have never had issues with scheduling, cancellations, and each visit she is so friendly that my son was disappointed if she wasn't there during a visit. All the staff are generally extremely friendly as we've had some one-off sessions with other providers over the years due to availability. For a very very brief period of time my son also had OT services but the OT therapist left the clinic and they have since stopped taking my insurance for OT. While we are extremely grateful and thankful that my son no longer meets criteria for speech services, we are sad and definitely miss the visits and relationship with Teresa and everyone at SGV speech. Highly highly highly recommend.

My son just graduated out of speech and we are over the moon…read more As I'm writing this, I'm reflecting on the mind blowing progress my son has made in just 3 years with the incredible help of Mrs. Teresa. When we first started here, my son was speech delayed and no one understood the few words he did say. Mrs. Teresa was able to target his problem areas and gave my son the tools he needed to communicate clearly and effectively. Mrs. Teresa is kind, gentle, patient, stern when needed, and truly invested in my son's growth and progress. They worked hard together during sessions, and she always rewarded my son with play time at the end which he appreciated. She always pushed and challenged him -- every session the improvement was undeniable. My son is a better speaker, a more confident communicator, and is able to focus and apply himself so much more now. I have a daughter at a different clinic who has now seen several different therapists, and I truly don't think with them all combined they could do what Mrs. Teresa does. She is an expert in the field and my son and I were truly blessed to work with her! Shout out to Miss Rosa who runs a tight ship! She truly keeps everything running smoothly, handles everything from scheduling to billing to whatever else falls on her lap, and she always does it with a welcoming and warm smile. She's the first and last face we see -- the face of the company. It's bitter sweet to say goodbye. Thank you sooooo much to Mrs. Teresa & Miss Rosa for being a part of our lives for the past 3 years.
