“I cannot say enough about our positive experience with Courtney Caruso!  When our daughter Gabby turned 2 years old, she could only say a handful of words.  It was clear that Gabby understood what we were saying, however she could not express herself verbally – she became so frustrated from not being able to speak that she would pull her own hair out.  When we first met with Courtney, she was very warm, professional, and clearly very experienced in speech language pathology with children.  She taught Gabby a few words in sign language, which helped her to build confidence and learn how to start communicating while Courtney helped her to develop her language skills. I was consistently impressed at how attentive Courtney was with Gabby – she knew Gabby’s favorite toys, what made her laugh, and what techniques were most effective at helping to develop her language skills.  When I had questions (and there were many!), Courtney always took the time to explain answers and would often come to Gabby’s next session with even additional responses and information that she researched on her own.  It is evident that Courtney is passionate about helping children to develop their speech, and I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to work with someone so caring and effective during a very challenging time.  With Courtney’s help, Gabby progressed very quickly and had actually caught up to her age appropriate speech level right before her third birthday – this was completely amazing to us, considering she could not even say yes or no 8 months prior!  Today, at 4 1/2 years old, Gabby is a confident, happy, and very talkative child – and we will be forever grateful and thankful to Courtney for all she did for her!!!”
