Little Communicators - Speech Therapy

My son began seeing Paula in May 2020. He was struggling with reading in 1st grade and Paula instantly recognized that he had a severe tongue tie that needed to be released in order for him to correctly pronounce s/z/th/r words. She recommended a wonderful doctor and we did pre-work with Paula before the surgery. After the surgery we spent the next 3.5 years working weekly with Paula on retraining my sons tongue muscle. Paula was WONDERFUL. She was always patient, positive and reassuring. She had creative snacks and activities for my son each week. Over the years I watched her grow her business and continually educated herself with additional trainings and certificates. My son is now about to move on to middle school. He talks and pronounces words properly and everyone can understand him. He has gained confidence with much help from Paula. I am so thankful for her as a person and professional. I highly recommend Paula and Little Communicators, especially if you need a myofunctional therapist, and those are hard to find!

Kind, patient and knowledgeable. Ms Paula has made a huge positive impact in my sons speech in a short time. My kid constantly moves but she handles him well. She uses different techniques to make session playful thats why my son loves to go for the session.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ms Paula! My 5 year old son loved going to see her from day 1. She always had take- home tips and a fun themed craft or snack-making activity each session. He absolutely loved that. She made her lessons feel like play, never like work. She was always so kind, and flexible, but also deeply knowledgeable. Couldnt recommend her more highly!

A year ago I am so worried about my sons speech and completely clueless whom should I approach for a private speech therapy, I found Paula through google who was nearby our area and decided to make an attempt. I have to say we are so lucky that we met her, I was so impressed by her ways of therapy right from the first day. Every session is different, she makes every session very engaging and very focused, kids just love her. Fast forward to this year, now my boy (who did not speak more than 10 words a year back) is now speaking sentences, singing songs and is completely fluent in the language. Words are not enough to express my thanks to Paula. She is a 100% #1 speech pathologist that I can really vouch.

I highly recommend Ms. Paula with Little Communicators. Before we even started services with Ms. Paula, I had some questions regarding my child's speech IEP and Ms. Paula was so kind and spent so much time with me on a phone call listening and giving me advice and resources. Even though Ms. Paula was completely booked, she worked hard to find a time to add us to her schedule and even tried to find times she would not normally see clients. Her kindness and dedication to her work was apparent immediately. Ms. Paula made every session fun, interesting, and enjoyable for my children which really helped them enjoy going to speech which was critical. They worked on speech through games, crafts, cookie decorating, and more. Having your children wanting to go to speech and motivated to work on speech is half the battle. Ms. Paula is extremely knowledgable and was able to give me great resources and recommended excellent doctors for follow-ups and even an interesting book I read in order to further my understanding. In fact, Ms. Paula recommended I bring my child to an ENT for something she noticed and actually caught an issue the pediatrician and I had not even caught. Additionally, Ms. Paula has vast knowledge and experience with myofunctional therapy as well as programs to help motivate children to stop habits such as finger sucking. She went above and beyond planning a very special party for when that goal was achieved and her extra special efforts in this area made the program a success and helped my child achieve that goal! Ms. Paula truly cares about her clients and her warmth, kindness, enthusiasm, positivity, and creativity made speech such a positive experience for my children and for our family.
