TESTIMONIALS

Parents Recommend

Our daughter has been seeing Allison for a few years now. We switched from another company and are so glad we did. Allison is always patient and kind with her and works hard to help our daughter overcome her speech obstacles. She's always professional and answers all of our questions. She gives us exercises we can do at home with her. We can't wait to see hoe she continues to grow under Allison's care.

We have a 4 year old daughter who Mrs. Allison has been working with for quite some time now and I have to say we are both so grateful for the growth and development that she's helped our daughter experience. Our daughter was very shy and had a hard time in certain areas. We wondered if we would fine the help that both our daughter felt comfortable with and needed to get to the next level. We'll have to tell you, Mrs. Allison came as just that and more. She both our daughter and us feel comfortable with the idea of Speech Therapy. She is very engaging, flexible, and provides the attention your child will need. She always followed up with us on her progress and what we can do to help our child be prepared for what's next to come. To this day our daughter and us adore Mrs. Allison for the impact she has made during our process. 

Mr. and Mrs. Horne

I strongly recommend Mrs. Allison as a speech therapist. My son has been seeing Mrs. Allison for about a year at his school. Our focus was not necessarily his speech abilities but more so his social skills and answering questions. My son has shown significant improvement while working with Mrs. Allison. Anytime we go to any function/outing, my son will introduce himself to other kids. He will invite kids to play with him.  He loves coming up to either myself or his younger sister saying, "Mama or Gigi, would you like to play with me?!" He's shown significant improvement in sharing a story when you ask him a question. Mrs. Allison is always accessible when I have questions or concerns. It's super helpful when she is able to join him in class and watch his interaction. She offers solutions not only for things to do at home but at school as well. I always look forward to the progress videos that she provides. As a parent, I've truly appreciated all the progress I've seen in my son. Thank you, Mrs. Allison!
