Testimonials

“Rachel is a truly gifted speech pathologist and behavior coach. My son made immense progress in his ability to speak clearly and in his social skills. Also, an invaluable resource to me. We are so grateful for the role she played helping him to flourish!”

Elizabeth, Brooklyn, NY

“Rachel helped transform how we, as parents, understood the unique social, verbal challenges my son faces through both in-depth discussion with us as parents, as well as through her 1:1 work with him. I am grateful for her expertise and sound perspective.”

“Rachel's patience, humor, enthusiasm as well as her gentle, supportive demeanor really helped our son go into 2nd grade more prepared and, most importantly, more confident.”
