TESTIMONIALS

My son is 2.5 years old and has been working with Craig for about 6 months. Craig is amazing with my son; he is always prepared and changes each treatment session to address the needs of my son. Craig has a great approach using play to elicit words, phrases, and sentences. At this point, my son is now saying 3-word sentences and each week he shows improvement. He is always excited to see Craig for his weekly sessions. In addition, it is convenient that Craig comes to our home to perform his treatment sessions.

- Jaclyn, mom of KennyI highly recommend Queens Letters and Craig for speech therapy services

Allison is incredible! In the year and a half that she has been working with our daughter, there has been noticeable and sustained improvement in my daughter’s expressive speech. Allison has such a lovely connection with our 6-year-old and always has activities planned for the session that is engaging and fun for Bertie. Allison has been an invaluable resource to me, taking the time to talk about the work she is doing with Bertie and offering ideas for how to support Bertie’s speech at home and at school. She is truly an exceptional therapist.

- Susie, mother of BertieAllison has been an invaluable resource to me.

Someone recommended Amy after my daughter’s first speech therapist decided she needed a little more help than she could provide. Needless to say, Amy swooped in and literally made everything better. She was down-to-earth, extremely reliable, and more than competent. The little girl who used to cry because she didn’t talk well, now won’t shut up. Now her speech and pronunciation are just where they should be along with her confidence. And she misses Amy a lot. We are all so grateful for her care and support.

- AshleyI cannot tell you how lucky I feel to have found Amy.

Theo loved working with Lucia and looked forward to her sessions. He wasn’t fooled that it worked! She made it fun and enjoyable, so he liked learning through play with her. We cannot believe the difference in his speech! He now talks non-stop and reached age-appropriate levels in a matter of months! I always felt that Lucia really cared about Theo’s learning and it wasn’t just a paycheck for her. You have a great therapist in Lucia, and we are so happy we decided to pursue private speech through your company.

- Liz, mother of TheoWe could not have been happier with Lucia’s work!

It is rare to find a tutor who exhibits the compassion and expertise for her job that Kristine does. She arrives at the front door with a smile on her face, loves her job and her calm and nurturing personality makes it easy for our son to want to work with her. Kristine has been successfully giving our son the tools he needs to find success in his classes. She structures her sessions to cater to his needs and keeps his interest for the full hour and sometimes more. Her post-session updates on his progress are extremely informative and helpful. Any child would be fortunate to work with Kristine!

- Deirdre von DornumAny child would be fortunate to work with Kristine!

She has been able to improve and increase our daughter’s confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy. My wife and I, both of us are educators, feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Alexa’s pedagogical skills. Alexa has had a big impact on our daughter’s literacy growth. Thank you Queens Letters!

- Mario CostaAlexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well-prepared, and caring teacher for our 6-year-old daughter.
