All of the staff is so nice and accommodating (even able to do virtual appointments when needed) and the therapists are fantastic....Super outgoing and fun, my son absolutely loves coming here. The waiting area is not crowded at all and is super spacious. We've been seeing Brandie and absolutely love her! She genuine, really outgoing and fun with my son and always has fun games and activities prepared for him to do as soon as he comes in. My toddler also came for a short time too (he graduated) and thought it was so much fun. Most importantly, my son's speech is so much better now:) highly recommend!

Jessica is amazing and we are so grateful for her and the time she spent with our daughter. Our…read moredaughter was diagnosed as a "late talker." Her receptive speech was in the normal range, but her expressive speech was delayed. At two years old, our daughter was saying only about 5 words. We discussed speech therapy with her pediatrician at her 18 month well check, then again at her 2 year well check. When we were told that she should have been saying at least 50 words by 24 months, we knew that speech therapy was necessary. I contacted Jessica to start the process, and during our first phone conversation, I knew she was the right choice for our daughter. Jessica was extremely patient. She took time with me explaining the process of speech therapy, going over options, and overall, easing my mind about everything. After the initial evaluation, Jessica was able to give us a diagnosis, an overall plan, and an estimated timetable for therapy. Our daughter had sessions with Jessica for about 5 months. Jessica was very flexible with our family's schedule. She came to our home, as well as my parents' home, as they took care of our daughter a few days a week. Jessica immediately bonded with our daughter. She would sit with her on the floor and interact with her in a very calm and patient manner. Our daughter always thought that she and Jessica were just playing. She loved the games they played and the activities they did together. She looked forward to her visits every week. Jessica involved all family members in the therapy process, giving us tools to be able to work with our daughter on skills in our everyday life. She provided us with strategies to be able to reinforce what she had been working on with our daughter. All the tactics and routines that were part of her therapy plan were made known to everyone, and this approach, we truly believe, hastened her development of speech. We saw improvements in our daughter's expressive speech very quickly. Not only was she saying new words, her overall demeanor changed. Before she started speech therapy, she would get easily frustrated, as it was difficult for her to communicate with us. As her speech developed and she was able to express herself more to the people in her life, she became more content and calm. We are so grateful for Jessica and highly recommend her if you are looking for a speech therapist!

It's hard to see your child struggle or recognize a delay with them, but Jessica was very sensitive and helpful and that made the whole process a great experience. We were lucky and he only needed therapy for a couple of months but we will miss her and will be back if he shows any signs of a delay again. Thank you so much Jessica!

We couldn't speak more highly of Shea! Shea worked with our 2-year old son for about a year. She…read morewas patient, kind and fun; but also had a way of teaching and communicating discipline that our son responded exceptionally well to. Her primary goal wasn't just to teach language, but to give our family the tools to continue the teaching on our own. She brought in toys and books and had tricks to teach in a way that was custom to our son and how he likes to learn. Our son ultimately graduated from Shea's care and you would never know that our chatterbox now 3-year old only had ten words when we started. We are forever grateful!

The staff here has an abundance of knowledge, professionalism and kindness. Natalie has a team of…read morethe best professionals. We love it so much that my kids count days to go and see Sydney and Jenna. My daughter showed improvements after just one week of lessons with Sydney. We were told that it may be an impossible task, well Small Talk OC DID IT! They have the best educational toys, the best model of teaching kids and an absolutely exceptional therapist there. The facility is so clean and the set up is very convenient. It's set up in such a safe and private manner which is very important to me as a parent. I would travel hours just to see this team. They are awesome!!! My family and I can't say enough for everything they have done and I am looking forward to seeing how far my kids will go. Thank you Sydney , Jenna, Bryn and of course Natalie. I wish I could give you 100000..... stars!

Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience with Natalie and staff. I would not recommend small…read moretalk OC to any of my close friends or colleagues. She is adamant about signing all these documents but if you need to give any input on your child's well being it's frowned upon. If you do not agree to twice weekly lessons don't bother calling. They do not want to hear any feedback and she attempted to tell me she's not charging my credit card so I would not write a bad review. In addition, I asked how long it's expected to see results. I was hoping by end of summer and she responded "at least." Needless to say my card was stopped and I was incredibly disappointed with my overall experience.

Very disappointed in this practice. The male who I spoke with when I attempted to schedule my…read moredaughter's appointment was less than helpful. I received a myriad of excuses as to why they couldn't help my daughter. First was appointments are "months out" and in a rude tone he noted how long the appointments are for my daughter's age and that she had to be asleep for entire test. Seemed he did not want to schedule us at all. I asked about a waitlist for sooner appointments and received more excuses as to why we would likely not be called. He couldn't have been more obvious that he did not want to schedule us. Overall I wouldn't recommend especially after reading other negative reviews about office staff. Sad they hire people who don't seem to care or have any compassion for the patients.

We've been coming to OC Speech Services for over a year now, and I'm so thankful we found them. My…read moreson receives both OT and speech therapy here, and it's been amazing to see how much he's grown since starting. We've had the opportunity to work with several wonderful therapists, and we're grateful for all of them. I'd also like to mention his speech therapists, Ms. Dana and Ms. Jena, and Mr. Joseph (OT therapist) to who have been such an important part of his progress. They've taken the time to get to know my son, incorporate his interests into each session, and keep him engaged and motivated to learn. They also do a great job keeping us involved by sharing his progress after each session and giving us ideas for what we can continue working on at home. Watching my son grow in his communication skills has been incredibly rewarding. We know that progress didn't happen overnight, and we're so grateful for the patience, encouragement, and dedication his therapists have shown him. We're so thankful we found OC Speech Services and couldn't ask for a better team to be part of my son's journey.

Over the past two years,…read moreLucille has gone from using very few understandable words and struggling to produce many speech sounds correctly to speaking in full sentences, asking and answering questions, following conversations, and expressing her needs much more clearly. Her speech intelligibility has improved tremendously, and her confidence has grown along with it.

Her dedication and genuine care played a huge role in Lucille's progress. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done and highly recommend her.

I started my son the summer of 2021 at the age of 3. He was behind on speech development, and it was really difficult for anyone other than me to understand what he was saying -which made him be extra shy around anyone new because they'd ask him to repeat what he was saying to try to understand. With him getting ready to start school (Pre-K) in the Fall I really wanted him to feel more confident speaking up and to be understood. Molly has worked wonders. She was able to get my son to open up and really get into his sessions (he was a pretty shy boy) and has made a huge impact on my sons speech. I was so much more comfortable with him starting pre-k because I knew he could be understood. He has been thriving at school, and I attribute a ton of that to Molly. She still works with us, does a great job at periodically doing tests and giving us an update on where he is landing in comparison to his age group. My son loves "Miss Molly" and looks forward to their sessions. She finds ways to keep things fresh with new games and ways to incorporate their speech work. I highly recommend Molly! She is punctual, great communicator, and makes it really easy to work with her (despite sometimes crazy schedules). Thank you Molly!!

Melissa is amazing. Not only have I improved my oral health, resting jaw-and-tongue positions, and…read moreswallowing ability. I had a great time doing it. Melissa is fun, energetic, and passionate about her work and her clients. She really cares about her clients and she will help improve your oral health in ways you probably had no idea existed. I was a client for myofunctional therapy, due to a tongue tie I had no idea existed until about nine months ago. My therapy lasted a little over six months with daily tongue exercises. I became a master tongue-clicker and my tongue is now more yolked than ever before! What was pretty exhausting at first has lead to a tongue that can swallow correctly, without contributing to gum recession, and compete in tongue building competitions. Melissa was seriously so fun to work with. Going to see her was always a fun and enjoyable experience, even when put under the microscope tongue light being observed while I swallow incorrectly. But I can absolutely tell I made positive changes and received positive results in a journey to proper oral health. Thank you Melissa for your great work. If you or your child need a pathologist, look no further than Melissa Beck. You will not be disappointed.
