Having a baby is already hard, but having a baby that needs help with feeding is something that no…read moreone can prepare you for. After a 6 week stay in the NICU, and a G-Tube placement, we started feeding therapy with Teresa through the Golden Gate Regional Center. During our time in the hospital and just after, we met with a number of feeding therapists that were next to no help with us. It was frustrating and sad, especially as new mom. When I met Teresa, I told her upfront that I was having a hard time and that I needed someone that could really help us get to a place where we could wean off our feeding tube. Nearly a year later, my daughter has been tube-free for almost five months, and has been mostly oral for about nine months. So much of our progress has been because of the help I got from Teresa. She has amazing patience, and really listens to what you're saying and offers useful and constructive ways to help. Nothing about it is forced, and along the way, there's also a gentleness in her approach to moving to the next steps. Of all our early intervention providers, Teresa is the one person I really wanted to meet with on a weekly basis because I knew there'd be constructive and helpful takeaways from our meetings. We recently had to relocate out of the state, and I am incredibly sad that I couldn't bring Teresa with us. Hopefully this means that Teresa can now help another family in the same way that she helped ours. Thank you Teresa and SF Speech!

Sara was willing and did work in conjunction with all of my daughter's teachers over the years as well as preparing my daughter for solid college, prep high school course work. My daughter LOVED going to see Sara as Sara was very good at working through the challenges and using her strengths to build-up her weaker areas. Sara was also very helpful in providing resources for me to better understand and assist my daughter at home and between sessions with her. I have a background in education and can firmly attest to Sara's wonderful and thorough knowledge in Language Arts for assisting with processing and language challenges. Sara is even helpful with the language piece that is now so heavy in elementary math. I can't give enough stars for Sara. She is a fountain of resources and is very open and honest.

We had an incredible experience working with Shelly Parks, or Teacher Shelly, as our 4 year-old…read morecalled her, for over a year (Sep 2024-Dec 2025). Shelly was instrumental in helping our son meaningfully improve his speech, and helping us realize there were other issues at play in his ear/ nose/ throat system - that were causing significant fluid retention and drainage problems, hearing loss, ear pain, poor sleep, irritability, and more, thus impacting his speech and behavior. Thanks to Shelly, we were able to figure all of this out, get our son the help he needed, and, a year later, we have a transformed kid. What made Shelly a great speech therapist for our son? Shelly is very observant, noticing fine details we did not (including the broader ENT issue I described earlier); she worked at our kid's level - really meeting him where he was, being flexible (he can be stubborn!) but also clear and firm to ensure progression. Shelly has a kind demeanor, accepting our son for who he is, making him feel welcomed so he felt supported to learn (there were days when he'd refuse to go to school b/c he didn't feel comfortable there but he was always thrilled to go see "Teacher Shelly"). She took a very methodical, thorough and collaborative approach with us - tracking his progression with regular speech samples and communicating suggestions for us to incorporate into our interactions with our son. And finally, she really cared about his well-being. There was a point when our son's speech, hearing and behavior issues were causing challenges for him at school. We were unsuccessful at convincing his preschool teacher that it wasn't just bad behavior but a host of other interrelated challenges we were working on with him. They had just decided he was a troublemaker. When I shared this with Shelly, she was concerned they were getting him so wrong. She talked to them and helped them change their perspective, take what we were saying seriously, and become much better partners in our son's development and growth as a result. Shelly is an incredible speech-language pathologist. I'd recommend her to anyone - and especially to parents of young kids struggling with their speaking comprehension and hearing. There isn't enough I can say. Thank you, Shelly, for everything.

What's with the negative Yelp reviews?!…read more Jewish Family & Children's Services (JFCS) is an absolutely amazing organization. They offer services to a wide range of individuals in need regardless of their religion, ethnicity, race, age, disability etc. If you are in financial trouble, need a temporary place to stay, or a warm meal they are willing to work with you. They are a truly special non-profit that takes pride in serving the community. I volunteered with JFCS a few months ago after I learned about their Canine Corps program. This is a special program where you train your pooch to pass a test in order to become a canine companion. Once they are trained, the pups visit seniors and other community members. Because let's face it, who doesn't love the company of a pooch?! I worked with my pup Rosie and attended training classes, but unfortunately she did not pass the test :( Rosie is quite the class clown and is easily distracted by the other doggies. I would love to keep working with Rosie so that she can eventually pass the test. Masha and the crew at JFCS are amazing and I would love to work on another project with them. They offer additional volunteer opportunities with holocaust survivors, seniors, adults with illnesses or disabilities, children, and emigres. You can also volunteer to work shabbat dinners, shop for the food pantry, tutor, deliver meals, and the list continues! If you're interested in volunteering there are a wide range of opportunities available to you. I love this organization and I really wish that more people were aware of all that they do. I highly recommend attending one of their events and volunteering with them. Although my pup is not yet a canine companion, we had a great experience attending the training sessions and learning about all of the services that they offer. If you know someone in need or want to lend a hand, do yourself a favor and contact them. You will not regret it!

I am a HUGE fan of Jewish Family & Children's Services! They offer so much to so many people,…read moreregardless of faith, age, ability, race, creed, etc. I think some people are under the impression that because the word "Jewish" is in the title that they only help Jewish people. This isn't the case. JFCS offers services to anyone in need, from therapy/counseling, to support groups, adoption services, all kinds of help for seniors, services for emigres, and much, much more! They are VERY LGBT-friendly, offer excellent training to their volunteers, and the staff is appropriately discreet. So what is my experience with JFCS that leads me to be such a huge fan? I saw a therapist through JFCS for a while, attended a Bereavement Support Group after my beloved grandfather passed away (this particular type of support group is offered as a FREE service!!), and now offer my time as a volunteer through the Seniors at Home program. So, I've been both on the giving and receiving end of JFCS and have only good things to say about this particular organization, which gives so much to so many people and done their part to save so many lives! I heartily recommend their services to anyone, and especially encourage people looking for a meaningful volunteer experience to consider becoming a companion to a senior citizen through the Seniors at Home volunteer program!

We started with in office appointments which were great because they have tons of toys for the kids to play with while they're "working" on their speech. The parents usually are sat in the waiting area which is nice and airy. The views are pretty amazing since the office is on the 7th floor. I believe some parents may have left the waiting area to run errands but were always back before the children finished. So there's always that option. However, since the pandemic, offices are closed and we are doing our appointments virtually on Zoom. We are still having great success with progress. The sounds that my son had trouble making while saying certain words has greatly improved. Through Zoom, he was able to get the same help and learn even more words and progress in his journey. Currently our speech pathologist is Kristin. WE LOVE HER! She is super professional, very friendly, flexible and is an absolute sweetheart! She knows how to keep my son's attention and is always super patient with him. We've had office visits with her before the pandemic and even though I was not in the room with my son, I knew he had a great time because he'd be smiling ear to ear when he met me in the waiting area. So if you're looking for virtual appointments or (eventually) in-person appointments, I would definitely recommend Speech Inc.
