Another Very Satisfied Parent:
"Marcia worked with our son for 2 years
from age 3 to age 5. The convenience of having her visit with our son
during the day while he was at his preschool was a priority. As they
continued to meet we were amazed at the progress we heard with our sons
speech and demeanor. Marcia is always professional, patient and kind
and our son looked forward to his sessions with her."
"She quickly identified that he does really well with positive
reinforcement and would bring him games to play that he adored. Even
though she always saw our son at school there was great communication
with us about what she was working on with our son. Also she gave us
great suggestions on what we could do to follow through with her work
at home. Marcia always made her meetings with our son fun and he truly
blossomed by working with her consistently. I would recommend Marcia to
anyone with a child that needs speech therapy and am so grateful that
we had the opportunity to work with her."
Sincerely, Rona Blau Wald
