PediaSpeech

My 2 year old son had a speech delay. We were referred to PediaSpeech and he is now developmentally ahead of his peers. Kayla Santoro was his therapist and developed a wonderful relationship with him. My son loved every single therapy session and we are so grateful that he is now verbal and can express himself orally. Therapy works and PediaSpeech has a proven track record.

We've had 3 kids go through speech therapy and one through occupational therapy at PediaSpeech and had a great experience each time. The therapists we've worked with were patient and helpful, and my kids enjoyed their sessions. I love the option of video sessions from home, too.

My name is Maria and my two-year-old son just graduated from PediaSpeech this week! We were referred to PediaSpeech by our Pediatrician who highly recommended them! … and they did not disappoint! My son was lucky enough to be assigned to Therapist Kayla Santoro, and after his initial evaluation I knew they would be a great fit – Kayla not only held professionalism and wit - she was sincere to my son (they established rapport immediately), while also making sure he listened – I think this was so important especially for my son who needs clear and consistent boundaries. To put it into perspective my son was pretty behind for his age and knew about 10 solid words when we started back in November 2023 – he was having trouble expressing himself in appropriate ways (i.e biting) because he could not do so verbally. Fast forward 7 months later - counting how many words he knows would take too long, not to mention he is speaking in 3- and 4-word sentences which is SUCH a huge improvement, oh and no longer bites! When it came time to re-evaluate him he not only “passed” for his age group but was even above average in some categories, which as a mom was so relieving to hear! Also, I think it’s important to mention my son LOVED coming, Kayla not only did such a great job of having my son listen, learn, practice and repeat but also with rewarding him with fun developmentally appropriate games and toys, he walked into her office with a happy smile on his face every time. She always went the extra mile for our family - Once my son was having a fit on the parking lot ground (over a toy – if you’re a parent reading this, you know) and she was able to calm him down enough to walk in with her (I was also holding my baby daughter while it was happening – so she saved us!). Kayla also made sure to have a holistic approach – because my son is my first child – I had so much to learn on what I could be doing to help his vocabulary grow, it was definitely eye opening. Overall, it was a great experience, the staff there were always so friendly to us – especially Julie who greeted us each day with a warm smile on her face! My son & I will absolutely miss coming there; however I am so happy he made such great progress he was able to graduate! :)

I was referred to PediaSpeech by my son's pediatrician. My son has work with Mrs. Carly Davis for speech/ feeding she is absolute the best, so caring, loving, and professional. My son also worked with Mrs. Maria for OT she's fantastic. Both ladies really took their time to address my questions and concerns. My son loved going to his sessions and hated leaving. I highly recommend PediaSpeech to anyone who may have concerns about their kids speech/feeding and OT.

We love PediaSpeech! We worked with Julia C. for over 2 years on Speech and with Maria and Julia O. for OT. We just moved way north of the city and had to switch practices due to distance, but we cannot recommend PediaSpeech enough. The therapists are incredible and Ms. Julie in the front office is the sweetest. We will miss you all terribly and could not have gotten our son (or, honestly, ourselves!) through the last couple of years of school without you! We are so grateful for you all!

We have had such a good experience with PediaSpeech and specifically our Therapist, Carly Cumberlander. The office took us in for our assessment immediately and confirmed my suspicions at 18 months that my son was just not where he should be when it comes to his speech. He is now 3 and I could cry thinking about the progress he has made. He loves seeing Ms Carly, he loves the encouragement he gets and the confidence he has gained from going. It has been one of the best decisions we have ever made to set him up for life. Thank you Carly, and PediaSpeech, for the support and incredible expertise.

My daughter worked with Kayla who was an absolute delight. She was professional and kept us up to date on all developments. My kid looked forward to meeting with her every week and now that we're discharged is going to miss her. Can't recommend this place enough.

My 4 year old has been in speech therapy with Ms. Kayla and Mrs. Carly for about 9 months now. I’ve seen a huge transformation just within a few months. The wonderful part is my son loves his speech sessions with them so much that I decided to do 3 days a week. I also attend the sessions and learn from them which I’m able to apply in our daily lives. Prior to Pediaspeech he was at a different speech therapy that was not improving his performance at all and also I was not able go in with him. Which made it hard for me to help him outside of therapy. I sincerely appreciate the help and love he’s been receiving from Pediaspeech.
