What are clients saying?
-
"If you are looking for a speech pathologist for your child, look no further.
My daughter worked with Sydney for nearly two years, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s clearly an expert in her field. But what sets her apart from other speech pathologists is that she’s a mom. She makes learning and practicing fun, which is essential with children. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!” -M.D.

demonstrated deep expertise, and delivered great service to work around our busy schedules. Sydney's evaluation and approach considers the whole person, emphasizing both strengths and areas for improvement.” -B.B.

"I'm so glad we found Sydney!
She is so professional and great at working around schedules. When we started with Sydney, my daughter was only saying one word and now, just a few months later, she is putting together long phrases and picking up new words every day. Sydney also taught us parents so many helpful tricks and strategies. She is SO good at her job, but she is also a kind person who clearly loves children. The best.” -K.H.
-
"My son looked forward to each lesson,
enjoying the creative and varied activities. Within a year, Sydney enabled my 5 year old son to overcome his stuttering. During his school year, his confidence socially and academically increased as well. I would highly recommend Sydney.” -S.E.
