The feeding therapy program has been a game-changer for our toddler! Sandy transformed mealtime into a positive experience, and we’ve seen remarkable progress. We’re grateful for the tailored approach and valuable strategies provided. Our child now engages with food confidently, and we couldn’t be happier with the positive impact of this program!

My myofunctional therapy totally changed the game for me! I used to feel like nobody got what I was going through, and being called lazy all the time was seriously not cool. But the therapists in this program understood me. They actually listened and had my back. The exercises were kinda like my secret weapons, making my speech and face muscles way stronger. Now, not only do I talk better, but I also walk taller. Big shoutout to a program that gets it – it’s been a real game-changer for me!

Sandy has been seeing my 3-year-old for the past year. My wife and I are thrilled with the progress he’s made with his pronunciation and overall vocabulary. He isn’t crying or throwing tantrums nearly as much as he did before when we weren’t sure of exactly what he wanted during his outbursts. Being able to more effectively communicate with our son is immeasurable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sandy as a speech therapist. She worked with our daughter for 12 months, and we have seen significant improvement in her speech and confidence. Sandy is an extremely competent professional and truly loves her work and clients.

My son has been coming to The Speech Studio for over a year now. It is amazing to see how much growth and talking he is doing! He has such a great time and always looks forward to his sessions with them.

I enjoy working with The Speech Studio because they gave me a lot of tips and techniques I can use during the day to help my child’s language grow. I learned that following my child’s lead instead of trying to direct him on how to play has not only helped increase my child’s vocabulary, but we both have more fun playing together.

My Child has been “stuck” in therapy for years trying to perfect his /s/ sound. The Speech Studio had introduced me to new techniques and ideas that my other therapists have never heard of. We found out my child was tongue-tied, and instead of teaching him how to compensate, we were able to address the cause of the problem.

The Speech Studio has helped my child learn how to talk. I couldn’t be happier listening to what my little nugget has to say!

Sandy at The Speech Studio is incredibly knowledgeable. She is able to answer my questions and provide guidance towards what I should and shouldn’t expect from my little girl at her age. Therapy services are play-based, and my little one has such a great time she doesn’t even know she’s working!

My daughter is working in TV. She had a lisp that was cute for her previous show, but the cuteness is wearing off as she is growing older. Sandy had taught her how to correct her /s/ sound in a few short sessions. My daughter worked hard and was determined to correct it. Now, she can go to her auditions with confidence.

Sandy had taught me numerous strategies from the Hanen it takes two to talk program that I could easily use in passing throughout the day. I originally expected therapy to be drill-based and boring, but instead, it’s fun, and I can use those strategies in passing during the day. I have a busy schedule, so I am thrilled I don’t have to set aside a lot of time to work on speech with my child.

We live in an area that is remote, and finding a speech therapist was hard. We reluctantly signed up for sessions on the computer, and I now wouldn’t have it any other way. Telehealth has saved me a lot of time driving to therapists’ offices. Sandy uses a lot of special techniques and green screens. I enjoy watching her program materials just as much as my son.

Meet Peter
Age 3
Peter was diagnosed with a speech and language delay, struggled with picky and messy eating, and participated in multiple therapies—even though he was a healthy child without a specific diagnosis. At three years old, he wasn’t developing as fast as his peers. Other kids his age were using words and expressing themselves, while he still communicated with points and grunts. His parents were concerned and visited multiple doctors and specialists, but they were repeatedly told to take a wait-and-see approach.
Meanwhile, things kept getting worse. He had tantrums when they tried to take away his pacifier or serve him anything besides Goldfish crackers. Mealtimes were messy and stressful, and his parents worried that these challenges might be signs of a deeper issue. Scared for his future, they couldn’t stand by and wait any longer.
Determined to help their son, Peter’s parents reached out to us. Together, we worked on his speech and feeding challenges, giving him the tools to use his words and communicate more clearly. With the right support, Peter began eating with less hassle, expressing himself with confidence, and making leaps and bounds in his development. His parents finally had hope—and so did Peter.
Meet Lisa
Age 16
Lisa was always considered hyperactive, got braces recently, and had her tonsils and adenoids removed as a child. Now in high school, she is still struggling with her speech. She slurs her words, breathes loudly, and her mouth constantly hangs open. Her mother had taken her to speech therapy when she was younger, and while it helped for a time, her progress eventually plateaued.
As Lisa has gotten older, she has grown more self-conscious. She’s become insecure and quiet, rarely socializing with her peers. Her mother isn’t sure how to help her, but she knows something has to change before Lisa retreats even further into herself.
That’s when they reached out to The Speech Studio. Through our sessions, Lisa learned to speak more easily, improving both her communication and her confidence. Now, she participates in class discussions, talks with more self-assurance, and is finally making new friends at school.
Meet Sam
Age 38
Sam is constantly tired despite getting a full night’s sleep. He snores and struggles to chew with his mouth closed. Now, as a recent college graduate ready to take on the world, something still doesn’t feel right. He suffers from sleep apnea and wakes up every morning with pain in his back, jaw, and neck. His snoring is so loud that his girlfriend has taken to sleeping in a different room.
Sam has always had trouble with his mouth—he had a speech impediment as a child, then braces and a retainer as a teen. Even now, when he first meets people, they sometimes have trouble understanding him. He’s frustrated and exhausted, but he worries it might be too late to fix these problems.
After running out of ideas, Sam reached out to The Speech Studio. Through our work together, he discovered that a facial muscle imbalance was at the root of many of his struggles. Now, he’s sleeping and breathing better, waking up pain-free, and finally feeling like himself again.
