"Victoria works with my 7-year-old daughter, and she is amazing with her. She is so professional -- always prompt and very attentive to our concerns as parents. She adapts right to my daughter's level and makes speech therapy fun!"

"What a difference a year with Victoria has made! I was worried about my toddler's language delays since she was starting preschool and could barely talk. Now, my daughter is known as "Miss Conversationalist" at her school!"

"My five-year-old son who struggled with inarticulate speech has worked with Victoria at our home for over one year, and he has truly blossomed. During Victoria's sessions, she works on all facets of kindergarten-readiness. He has gained so much confidence while having so much fun with her, and we are thrilled with his progress!"

"I was at a total loss of how to help my six-year-old son who was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's syndrome. Victoria became a tremendous resource with her extensive experience working with children who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. My son has difficulties with transitions and any changes in routine. Victoria expertly motivated him to stay focused. She worked with him at our dinner table in how to sit still, how to participate in "dinner topic" conversations, how to take turns in conversation, etc. Using Victoria's feeding therapy, within an incredibly short period of time, my son now heartily eats varied fruits and vegetables which he completely avoided before. Overall, we feel that he has made significant behavioral and social skill improvements. Thank you, Victoria!"

"I have a 7-year-old son with Down Syndrome. When my son started school, a major concern was his speech. I started searching for an out- side speech therapist. Luckily, we found Victoria. In a very short time she helped get my son back on track. I knew my son best – his personality, what motivated him, and Victoria listened and tailored his therapy appropriately. Victoria is a big part of our IEP process; attending meetings with us, providing recommendations to the school, and offering to exchange ideas with the school's therapists. She keeps track of any new medical and scientific studies: augmentative communication devices, specialized clinics, links between speech apraxias and vitamins and nutrition. Victoria has fully informed us on anything and everything that could help us help our son. Her passion and professionalism have made her the most valued member of our team."

"Victoria worked with my son for over 3 years. She always greeted my son with a warm smile and always made time to fit in a "short story" of his during their session. Victoria was helpful with executing effective speech goals for my son when his IEP needed to be rewritten. She never rushed me at the end of the session with my son and she would always have an up-date on their sessions together. My son loved working with Victoria and he was upset when it was decided their sessions would be ending due to the progress he made with her. My son is no longer receiving speech services and he made the honor roll all four quarters of his first year in Middle School. I can assure you that Victoria had a hand in his success. I would highly recommend Victoria if you are looking for an outstanding, effective and thoughtful speech therapist."
