What People Are Saying

  • I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have found Michele and her practice. They took the time to truly identify the issues he was having and then tailored his treatment to specifically address them. It feels like a miracle to be working with them after various pediatricians and pediatric dentists told us they didn’t know how to help. -Ali, Parent of an 11 Year Old

  • Michelle made each session so much fun my son would cry everytime it was time to go. He is now above average for his age in speech and we have her to thank for that. She is great at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. -Jacquelyn, Parent of a 2 Year Old

  • This is the only form of therapy I ever had where I looked forward to attending sessions. Moreover, it’s the only form of therapy I ever had where I was melancholic when I no longer required it. -Asyra Simon, Patient

  • I am very grateful to the speech therapists at Morris Speech Therapy (namely Caroline and Alexis) for the wonderful progress they made with my kids. The therapists were professional, knowledgeable, as well as compassionate and kind with my kids. We will miss you! -Hanna Mosolygo, Parent of Multiple Patients

  • We have had many therapists, but Catherine exceeded our expectations with her approach and methods to the therapy. As such, you should look no further than Morris Speech Therapy for great SLP services that bring meaningful results while providing great tools for parents to continue working with their children. Best SLP professionals we have seen so far! -Murad Akhmedoff, Parent
