Center For Speech & Language

Adults with a lisp, come here! I have had a lisp my whole life. I attempted to correct it on my own without success many times in the past. I had difficulty finding a speech pathologist for adults, but was so happy I found the Center for Speech & Language. I worked with Jennifer for about two and a half months. She walked me through a progressive system to correct my "s" sound. If I hit difficult points, she helped me through them as well as avoiding additional mistakes on my path to success. My lisp is now gone! It feels so amazing to be able to say that. I wish I had done this years ago now. It is a couple months of hard work for a fix that will last for the rest of your life. Completely worth the effort if you ask me! You CAN do this, you really can. There may be points where you feel discouraged (I certainly had them), but you just need to keep working through it. I am so much more confident in my speaking and myself now. Again, I cannot recommend this place enough!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with the Center for Speech and my daughter’s speech therapist, Ms. Anna. When we came to the Center, my daughter was just over 2 years old with no words and very few sounds (basically none). We received the most wonderful, personalized care for our daughter and incredibly simple, effective strategies to implement with her on a daily basis. People had told me my daughter would just one day start talking, but Ms. Anna assured me that with work on all sides she would but work would be required. As a parent, that was a hard thing to hear, but let me tell you it worked. Ms. Anna poured in our daughter and worked to keep speech interesting and challenging. She was a constant encourager to me and spent time listening to my concerns and struggles and always gave the best advice. She was our village in teaching our daughter to talk. At the year evaluation, it was filled with happy tears because of the progress my daughter made from intense hard work on all sides. Speech isn’t simple and it does take time, but the Center for Speech and Ms. Anna provided us and our daughter with the strategies, exercises and tools we needed to bring my daughter to age level with her speech. I cannot recommend Ms. Anna enough. She is an incredible woman - both inside and out - and she helped our daughter talk and sing and provided such encouragement for me when I felt like I was failing my child. If you need a positive, loving, encouraging, hardworking community of folks to help with speech, the Center of Speech is for you.

Mrs. Anna E. helped my sweet seven year old over come her speech issue in less than a year. I’m excited that we are back with my youngest who is five and who counts down the days each week until she gets to go back to her next speech class. Both girls adore Mrs. Anna and I’m always impressed with her gentle approach towards them. The entire staff is always so friendly. Center for Speech and Language came recommended to me and I definitely have and would continue to recommend them to anyone!!

Center for Speech and Language really helped our youngest child with a significant lisp. It has taken time, but Jennifer is so wonderful about making each visit fun with games and activities. Changing speech habits is hard work but we are almost to the finish line. Our very shy and quiet 10 year old actually enjoys speech therapy! He is speaking up more in school and his teachers have noticed that he is more social in general. I really appreciate the schedule flexability and the wonderful office staff as well as the consistent feedback and encouragement as a parent. I can’t thank them enough.

My son and I was turned away at the door after I drove over an hour for his first session appointment because I was 12 minutes late due to Huntsville traffic. I even called before hand to let them know I was running late, but due to their 10 minute late policy they couldn’t see him for the remaining 18 minutes.They said they needed at least 20 minutes. It’s sad that they couldn’t use the remaining time to work with him, but instead turned us away. It really hit the nail on the head when I was putting my son back into his car seat to leave and his therapist Anna walks out the door to take a walk. This is not how you run a business. Charge for the full 30 minute and work with the child for the remainder of time. Give a warning to the parent for their FIRST late appointment and say next time you’re over 10 minutes you’ll have to reschedule. You are punishing the child and it really shows the values this business runs on. Do not recommend and will be taking my son somewhere else.

“The Center for Speech and Language” is a key player in my recovery after a hemorrhagic stroke February 2020. Jennifer Wilson coached me in writing, reading, telling time, numbers, phone use, and handling money. What I like most is the emphasis she places on conversational skills. Jennifer is intuitive, adept in tracking me and is quick to perceive the next goal. My wife and I have met with Jennifer for 2 years. She is creative, encouraging, and patient. We have come to know and trust her. Dr. Tom Wright Huntsville, Alabama

We took our two year old grandson for a speech consult. The speech therapist (Jennifer Wilson) we worked with was very professional. Two year olds can be very difficult and she was extremely patient. Our grandson is no exception but she was able to work with him and tell us some areas that need to be addressed. We are looking forward to our next appointment. Thank you, Jennifer!

My son's therapist, Nicole, is wonderful. He adores her and he's so excited to see her every week. She's patient, genuine, and empathic. He's come a very long way since he started treating with her and I'm so grateful for her.
