Testimonials

  • “When my daughter, Louise, was just 18 months old, I noticed she was very quiet. Even when she did talk, it was often in whispers, and she didn’t seem to be speaking as much as her nephews, who were 6 months younger. I was worried about her language development, but Leah was an absolute lifesaver. She introduced us to early language strategies that not only helped Louise find her voice but also built her confidence. Now, Louise is thriving, and I couldn’t be more grateful for Leah’s guidance and support. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for expert help with their child’s language development!"

    —Lindsay F.

  • “Leah was wonderful with our twin boys. Her kindness, patience, and creative games made speech therapy fun and they genuinely looked forward to their time with her. She had a natural way of connecting with them, keeping them engaged while still making real progress. We’re also grateful for the tips and tricks she shared with us as parents that we could then use in our everyday lives to support the training. She created a positive, encouraging environment, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.“

    —Andrew G.

  • “Working with Leah was a great experience for our family during a challenging time. Unable to access local speech therapy, we turned to Leah, who offered expert advice and practical strategies through video calls. Her personalized recommendations were easy to implement and made a meaningful difference. Leah’s warmth, patience, and professionalism were invaluable, and we wholeheartedly recommend Speech Method for compassionate, knowledgeable support."
