When should I talk to a professional about my child?

They pronounce words with sounds I don't expect

They are hesitant to talk because of the way they sound

They seem behind their same-aged peers

They reached developmental milestones late

They do not babble, make noises, or engage much with other people

They understand a lot, but say very little

They get frustrated when they cannot communicate what they need

Other people have trouble understanding my child

My daughter loves working with her because she makes therapy fun and I have seen a lot of improvement. I would totally recommend Rebecca to anyone."

Rebecca meets kids where they are and celebrates individual differences as she helps them gain the skills they need to thrive. Rebecca brings a warm and comforting energy to every interaction. I feel confident in sending anyone I know to Rebecca!

"We are very pleased with Rebecca. She is working with our six year old daughter on a lateral lisp. Each week she brings a new, engaging and unique project to work on with our daughter. She is a pleasure to have in our house and we look forward to her weekly sessions. Bonus: her hours are great for working parents/kids that need to be seen after school. Thanks to Rebecca for the great care!"
