Progress Speech & Language

Once we found Kathleen Thatcher here, we had the best experience with Speech for my daughter! Miss Katie allowed my daughter to grow at her own pace and really met her where she was. My daughter was a little over 2 when we started with Miss Katie and she quickly turned to love speech. Step by step, with Miss Katie’s weekly guidance, we saw my daughters speech develop. We have now graduated from speech (my daughter still asks for Miss Katie) but we continue to be grateful for the guidance, love and support Miss Katie gave my daughter and our family!

I am so happy we found this clinic!! When my son was 2.5years old he had probably only 2-3 words when we started this journey. However, Miss Gayle and Mr Jaison (speech pathologist) were the best team that son had during this journey, he went from 2-3 words to almost 350+ words!!! (Now he talks all day) Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication Miss Gael and Mr Jason I will always be grateful to have you in our lives.

My son attended Progress Speech and Language for several months for speech therapy. The front office staff were welcoming and always helped us with scheduling. His therapist, Kathleen Thatcher, was very integral in his success. She built rapport quickly and got to know my son and our family very well. She was detail oriented, diligent, knowledgeable of services, current therapy trends, and truly enjoys what she does. It was great to watch them work together and see my son progress. We appreciated her tireless effort and creativity. After years of attending other speech therapy clinics, we are fortunate to have our son graduate with the help of Progress.

Kathleen Thatcher is an outstanding speech therapist. I cannot say enough good things about her. She has been working with my almost 3 year son since January 2022. He has made amazing progress during that time thanks to Kathleen’s care, hard work, and creativity. She’s thoughtful, educated, and resourceful. She always goes above and beyond to help my son. I know that she is one of his greatest supporters and is always celebrating his progress along with my husband and I. It is not often that you find someone with such a big heart that also has remarkable professional expertise and an extraordinary work ethic.

An excellent place, I recommend it 100%, they are very attentive and professional, Miss Kathleen is the best therapist my son has ever had, she is very sweet, patient and very professional. It helped a lot in my son's growth and today my son graduated from speech, 😊thank you very much to all the staff, and also to Miss Kathleen for your work, we will always be immensely grateful for everything you did for my son Miss Kathleen. 😊

We have been bringing my 4yr old with ASD & nonverbal to PSL since February 2022. He has been receiving speech therapy with Mrs Katie & we couldn't be more happy with his progress in the last 5 months of him working with Mrs Katie we have heard SO MUCH sounds & attempts of words from our son it brings tears to our eyes to see & hear how much Mrs Katie has been able to bring out of him. Her way of teaching, supporting, guiding & understanding our son's needs is amazing to see & gives us so MUCH hope in his progress. We enjoy watching him during sessions and learning along side of our son so we can continue Mrs Katie's work at home we feel incredibly grateful that as a family we were paired with a speech therapist like her it's a perfect match. We hope to continue here at PSL with Mrs Katie going forward

Since starting OT with Katie Spaberg our daughter has really become more comfortable in her own skin. As her parents we have learned ways to assist her in meeting her needs which has really allowed her to grow and branch out into new areas she wouldn’t even have considered 4 months ago. The more our daughters needs are met, the more her language is starting to appear. Katie has been patient with both our daughter and us as parents, as we learn how to meet her sensory needs. Katie provides resources to educate us, seeks different ways to meet our daughters needs, and goes above and beyond for our little girl. Another area that has really increased is her eating habits…Katie has never forced anything on our daughter and the bond between our daughter and Katie is amazing. She really trusts and enjoys Katie and it makes us feel so blessed that our daughter has such a wonderful OT to work with! We would highly recommend Katie Spaberg to anyone looking for OT services for their child.

I love bringing my son to Progress Speech & Language. Ms. Julie has helped my son make so much progress with his speech in the last 8 months. I'm very grateful for this center.
