We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Erin Jackson! Sweet, kind, welcoming, and always with a bright smile to greet us! She helped my son develop in speech and worked with care and patience. She created a friendly, warm environment and always made my son feel comfortable to play an learn at his own pace. Our weekly visits not only improved my son’s speech but his social abilities to interact with others. I’m truly grateful for the help and care she provided for my son!

Where to begin! Margaret L. (Speach Therapist) has been so amazing and loving towards my daughter and all of us. She’s help my daughter so much and it’s been a very noticeable positive change. She’s super attentive, understanding, considering and catches every detail (which we love). She’s amazing at what she does and goes above and beyond for her patients. We look forward to keep working with her!
