"We had a fantastic experience with Dana as our speech therapist for our two young children! She took the time to really build a strong foundational relationship with our children first, to not only better understand their needs, but to make sure that she could connect and relate to them on a personal level. From there, she played and engaged in very fun and hands-on activities to help support their speech development. Furthermore, Dana is an excellent communicator and did a wonderful job sharing her noticings and wonderings with us and our children’s teachers to make sure we were partnering together to best support our kids. We highly recommend Dana as a speech therapist, if you’re looking for a strong professional who is an expert at her craft and passionate about children!"

 "Dana helped with so much more than just speech - everything from eating tips to even toy organization to help with play and focus. She made speech therapy very fun and playful every week and our son really looked forward to it. We were very thankful to be working with her as she coached and prepared us for next steps during our son's progression. He is doing amazing and flourishing in his Pre-K class."
