What Parents Are Saying About SmallTalk

  • “I can’t praise them enough”

    “My son has been attending occupational therapy here for a few months now and I can’t praise them enough! His regular therapist, Elly, is absolutely wonderful. She works so well with him and is always communicating his progress, as well as teaching us what we can be doing at home to help. He’s had a few fill in’s with other therapists when she has been out and each one was as great as she was. Our experience has truly been fantastic. I highly recommend them.”

    -Amanda

  • “Our boy feels confident speaking to others now”

    “My son only worked with Alexa for three months, but he absolutely LOVED going to speech each week! He really enjoyed all the games he was able to play and the energy Alexa always had during their sessions. I really appreciated being able to observe the sessions so I could also learn new techniques and help encourage assistance throughout the rest of the week. It definitely helped that he’d get a prize after a certain number of visits, so I’m so grateful she implemented a reward chart for him, too! We will definitely miss Alexa but we’re so excited all of her tools worked so well and our boy feels confident speaking to others now. Thanks for everything!!!”

    -Katie
