Speech Start holds such a special place in my heart and always will! My daughter Lucy is almost 4 years old and the happiness that Speech Start and Bernadette have brought her is priceless. The progress she has made thanks to Speech Start is incredible and she’s loved every minute of her time there. The comfort that Bern has given me as the parent from the first day I met her means the world to me. I can’t say enough amazing things about Speech Start!

We first started with speech start over 10 years ago when our oldest son wasn’t speaking at around 18 months old. Dr. Bern and Miss Marissa were fantastic with him for many years and we saw such improvements and watched our sons speech flourish with them. He now enjoys attending the social group at Speech Start every week. Every single person at Speech Start is so passionate about what they do and you can clearly see that by all the love and dedication they put into caring for each child that comes to them. Thank you Speech ... read more

Speech Start has absolutely changed our lives and that is not even a slight exaggeration! Our daughter had a feeding tube as a toddler and experienced a significant speech delay as a result. At 24 months, she still wasn’t talking and we had become frustrated with therapist after therapist and very little progress or guidance. When we came to Speech Start, everything was immediately different. The team understood our unique journey and wanted to work with us to help us learn how to help her. Our daughter started speaking in s... read more

We are so happy to be a Speech Start family. My son sees Miss Lizzie for delay, articulation, and oral motor planning. The progress he has made is astounding. He speaks in full sentences and has conversations when he used to struggle with making multiple word statements. I would recommend Speech Start to anyone looking for services for their child!

Speech Start has been wonderful ever since we started with them. My son has made tremendous improvements and continues to thrive. He receives speech and OT and I just cannot believe the progress be continues to make. Ms. Kerry, Ms. Kara, and Ms. Michaela are all fantastic!

Speech Start has meant the world to us for the last 5 years. Our 1st born son was not speaking by the age of 20 months so we brought him in for an evaluation with Dr. Bern. We learned that he had apraxia which eventually lead to a diagnosis of autism. With the help and guidance from Bern, Shaylyn and our SLP Andrea, our son is now speaking. Our second born son also attends Speech Start for apraxia and we know that he is in great hands. Speech Start has helped us every step of the way through this journey from personal phone ... read more

We 100% recommend Speech Start. Shay has been an absolute godsend. We have seen more progress with her than we have in 2 years with speech in school. She has gone out of her way outside of office hours to help us, including attending IEP meetings. She has been the only person to help our nonverbal son start saying words. He is even starting to prompt himself to say words because of her. She introduced us to his AAC device and taught all of us how to use it. Our son loves going to speech and working with Shay. She is ... read more
