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!

This team is phenomenal. Truly... my son had not yet been diagnosed with anything, but I knew his…read morespeech was in trouble. I did a bit of research and found Amanda and her team. We worked with both Amanda and Alli over four years, and my son made tremendous progress in his expressive language and speech pragmatics. The team is not only dedicated to making speech fun, but they attend regular workshops and conferences to keep at the cutting edge of new techniques and protocols, applying what works best for their little clients. We moved to the East Bay, or we'd still be with BASS. Fingers crossed that they open a location here!

We LOVE Amanda!!!…read more Before we found her, I did my research and contacted many speech therapist in our area, granted our son was not a severe case, most speech therapist I inquired about already had him on a strict lesson and weekly attendance schedule even prior to assessing him. I was turned off by that immediately. When we contacted Amanda I immediately felt comfortable and reassured that she was the best fit for us. There was no pressure or immediate schedule or routine because she really didn't know what he needed until she met him. She has a way with our son that not only makes him comfortable but makes his learning and therapy fun. Thanks to her he has come a long way in a short amount of time. She really cares about him and his progress and provides play activities that will best enhance his therapy sessions. Lj always looks forward to seeing her and playing with her, she really takes the time to get to know your child and helps establish a set goal. This is why we believe he is doing so well, she is really great and we highly recommend her!!!

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.

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!

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.

If you have kids like my son, you should definitely contact her. She is honest, knowledgeable, professional and sweet. Highly recommend her!

With my son's disability, it can be difficult to keep him engaged but Katie did just this with her flexibility and expertise. He would run up to her office with smiles when it was time for his speech therapy sessions. She is professional and great to work with. We highly recommend her!

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.

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.

My 6 year old had never pronounced the 'r' sound. We figured she'd grow out of it but her 1st grade…read moreteacher thought otherwise, suggested we see a speech therapist and recommended Beth. From day 1, Beth made my daughter feel at ease AND engaged by talking with her and not to her with genuine interest and kindness. Even when my daughter was in a foul mood (which was often) Beth was always able to pull her out of it within the first 5 minutes. She clearly has a lot of experience working with children and isn't phased by anything they throw at her. Her sessions were always the highlight of my daughter's day because they were conducted with kid-led games. The games were also assigned as homework so it continued to reinforce the learnings in a fun, light way. I highly recommend you reach out to her, especially if telehealth works better for your lifestyle. I was hesitant at first because I thought she might not be able to keep my daughter's focus but that never was an issue. My daughter improved tremendously over a short period of time and I am grateful to Beth for helping us nip a problem that could've been a lot worse had we not sought help.
