WHAT PEOPLE SAY...

"Allison worked with my son for almost two years. She is an incredible speech therapist! She is reliable, communicative, flexible and organized. Allison was able to make speech therapy fun and not a chore. My son had a lateral lisp and difficulty coordinating his breathing while speaking. He made a ton of progress working with Allison and he is so much easier to understand now."

Parent, 7 year-old

"Children wait for their 'Allison Day' at my preschool. Allison brings a bag of games that inspires children to work on their speech and language. Her ability to pinpoint the work that needs to be done is clearly communicated to parents. There is never a concern a child will be in her care longer than needed, in fact, I’ve had children beg to return after they are 'graduated'." 

Founder/SF Preschool Director

"Allison worked with both of my children who had different speech needs. She built trust quickly with and understood how to engage each child. My children look forward to her arrival each week, which was the opposite previously at another provider. She developed plans for each child catered to them with reports that helped us understand their progress. Both of my children improved dramatically in their speech, which also helped their overall confidence after working with Allison. One child has Apraxia of Speech and went from not forming words and only using gestures to a full vocabulary. She has been such a wonderful addition to our children’s overall support system".

Parent, 3 & 5 year-olds 

"My son had an amazing experience working with Allison. Not only were the sessions fun, but they were also highly effective. Allison was extremely professional and communicative every step of the way. Funny enough, my son was disappointed once he was officially 'graduated' from the program! We are so grateful to Allison!"

Parent, 5 year-old

"We are so grateful that our daughter was able to work with Allison for her speech therapy needs. Allison's expertise and hard work made each session productive while her demeanor and spirit kept their time together joyful."

Parent, 4 year-old

"Allison has helped our son progress through some challenges with his language development. He has felt very at ease with her and it made his progress quick and enjoyable. She is very skilled and cares way more than you could possibly expect. This is why she gets results. Thanks Allison!"
