"My son Daniel was diagnosed with SMA type I in 2007. Since then my family feels very fortunate to have Heather as our son’s speech therapist. She is very committed with what she does and really patient and loving. Daniel is learning having fun and he is so happy each time Heather comes home as she always comes with something fun to do. I am thrilled to see my son happy and learning so much!
So far Heather is working on training my child on how to use a communication device. We are so happy that she is creative and hardworking, and so my son is getting just what he needs, and more! Anything I say it will be not enough to say how happy I am that Heather is part of my child’s life."
Chatty Child has been a great experience for my 12 year old son! My son has been receiving speech services since he was 4 years old so we’ve seen it all. I can truly say that Heather has provided exceptional speech therapy in a friendly, clean atmosphere. I don’t even mind waiting! I only wish Chatty Child had been around 8 years ago.
We absolutely love Heather! She is fun and full of energy with smart, playful ideas that keep our three and a half year old interested and challenged. We always leave our sessions feeling our time was well-spent and most importantly productive. My son also enjoys the comfortable space and all the toys.
"My son was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome at few months old. One of the symptoms of this syndrome is an enlarge tongue which effects everything from feeding to speech. We worked with various speech therapist starting at 5 months old, but progress was slow. Our pediatrician suggested we try using a PROMPT trained therapist. This more aggressive approach, worked miracles on our son.
Heather has been working with us for over 4y years and has been crucial to his development of oral motor skills, speech, strengthen and controlling his tongue.
Her diligence with exercises, fun learning games, and teaching me how to practice with him, made all the difference in the world. He is growing into his enlarged tongue & with Heather's continual help, I have a great chatty child!!!
Thank You Heather your work is priceless!!! EP-NYC"
"Our son immediately connected with Heather. Her engaging, sweet, dynamic approach instantly grabbed his attention. Through using prompt, floor-time, and other innovative approaches, our son was making sounds in no time. After a few months of sessions, he was speaking!! Each time Heather walks though our door, the entire family is thrilled to see her. She is truly an angel from heaven."
