Success Stories
What Our Parents Say
Abby worked with our son in social settings, provided us with tips to use sign language, and helped us learn about our son's speech needs. We worked directly with Abby on goals we felt would most benefit our son and were able to accomplish those goals with Abby’s guidance and support. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She cares deeply about the patients she serves and allows parents the space they need to address any concerns. We feel very lucky to have had her as our son’s speech therapist.

Kasey
My family 100% recommends Abby!! She was absolutely amazing in our home and I’d say by the second time she was in our home our daughter absolutely loved her and would watch out the window waiting for her to come back! To have someone care about your child’s needs and want to help not only your child but help you in your child’s learning journey was amazing! She still keeps in contact with us and I know I can always reach out to her with any questions I ever have! She is a great person and an even better provider!
