Gold Speech, Inc.

Leah is a speech therapist who works with Dawn's clients.

Leah has done an amazing job working with our speech-delayed three-year-old son for the past several months. She sees him twice a week at his preschool. She’s built a warm, playful, and productive relationship with him. He loves their sessions and sometimes even prefers to stay with her after class rather than go back to his friends. He’s showing weekly improvements, like including articles “the” and “a” in his speech.

She experiments with various learning styles to find what works best. She had him clap out syllables for a while, and recently she’s been having him point to different colors as he enunciates. When I try these techniques at home, he happily plays along!

She adapts her sessions to focus on his changing needs. They’ve worked on connector words like “in” and “the”, pronouncing /s/, /t/, and /z/ clearly, and speaking in a louder voice.

She’s super communicative. She sends an e-mail update after each session, sometimes with videos, and talks with us about our concerns and goals.

We’re really lucky that Dawn connected us with Leah!
