Join Our Team!


Our two year old had a speech delay and was “assigned” to Ms. Rebecca through early intervention. I was so nervous at first. Before Ms. Rebecca, speech meant chasing an overwhelmed toddler around with a computer. After our first session with Ms. Rebecca, I cried. Not only was our toddler actively engaged, but Ms. Rebecca took the time to actually get to know our toddler and even sang to her! Throughout our time together, she has made wonderful suggestions and encouraged our daughter and us. She keeps our sessions fun by suggesting activities that our daughter is interested in. As a result, our daughter went from screaming to communicate her wants and needs, to using full sentences within months! We owe it all to Ms. Rebecca. She is kind and brilliant and makes speech therapy so much fun. She has made a huge difference in our daughter’s life and our lives. I would not hesitate to use Ms. Rebecca again for future services!
