What Parents are Saying:
★★★★★
"I'm really impressed with how naturally she is able to incorporate the sounds we are practicing. Our daughter actually looks forward to her visits, which is amazing since in the past she would shut down and even try to hide from speech therapists.
We feel really lucky to have found Alyssa and are optimistic about the amount of progress our daughter is making after just a few months!”

"If you're looking for an experience that helps both you and your child grow, look no further. Alyssa is great! She has helped us, as parents, learn and better understand how to communicate with our son, allowing us to connect with him in a much better way.
Her gentle and understanding approach to teach him how to use his words to communicate to us what he needs, wants and ultimately wants to do next makes us glad we found Alyssa! Strongly recommend!"

★★★★★
"She is truly the best professional we have worked with in our journey to help our son communicate better. She is extremely engaging and playful - willing to go swimming or jump on a trampoline for an hour if that is what engages her client.
She works across techniques and has helped our son vocalize more as well as gain confidence in his communication device. She is happy to collaborate with other professionals, stay longer to provide advice to parents, and flexible in working in whatever environment helps our son."

"We had the pleasure of working with Alyssa thru SDRC. Our toddler, who was about 6 months delayed, worked weekly with her for over a year. Alyssa was professional and engaging. She brought a bag of books and toys which she would switch out to keep our daughter interested. Even when my toddler was being difficult, she did her best to find an activity that she enjoyed while working on her speech. She openly addressed my concerns and gave me tools to help my daughter work on her speech outside of therapy.
Our daughter went from sounding out one syllable words to speaking full sentences. At the end of our sessions, she was evaluated by the SLP for her school district and they determined she was meeting the age appropriate milestones and did not need further speech therapy. I highly recommend Alyssa if you are looking for an SLP!"

"Alyssa has already made such a difference in our daughter’s speech. We’re so happy that we decided to supplement school speech therapy with Alyssa’s sessions. We’ve noticed a big improvement in her articulation, and she looks forward to having fun in her session each week!"
-Parent C.
★★★★★
"Our son excitedly awaits each session with Ms. Alyssa. On days when he does not have therapy, he specifically asks for her to come over and play. This is the best part of Ms. Alyssa's approach. Our son has no idea he's receiving therapy. He thinks he's just having fun! We absolutely recommend Leap Speech to any parent."

"Alyssa has been working with my 5 year old niece for several months and we quickly noticed a difference in her speech! She’s flexible and able to work around our busy schedule. We highly recommend her!"

★★★★★
"We love to have Ms. Alyssa over, and my nephew has made so much progress with her! We sought individual, private speech therapy after we weren't seeing the strides we hoped for with our school therapist. I'm so glad we pursued this route, she's made all the difference. He's always excited when she walks in the door, he's really opened up with her.
She pays attention to the things he enjoys and works them into the session to motivate him. You can tell she really has a passion for the field and keeps up-to-date with new research and strategies. I really appreciate that about her! Alyssa skillfully walks the line between gentle and firm, patient yet challenging to encourage growth. We are so grateful to have found her and definitely recommend her services!"
