Testimonials

"I love how you made me and my son feel comfortable from day one.  Maria and Lauren made sure to build rapport and bond with both me and my son.  This helped me calm down and helped me realize my son was in good hands.  Maria and Lauren are both extremely understanding and kind.  I learned so many ways to help my son calm down, improve his language at home, and how to get my son interested in new things.  This has helped me engage in new activities with my son and has gotten him to play with me rather than next to me." ​parent of a toddler
"We are so happy with my son's improvement and we feel blessed to have you!" ​parent of a toddler
"Thanks so much for your great service, you're the best! I wish my son had been getting this type of therapy all along and know that if he had things would be different. I was watching him last week during his session and he was really working hard. I also feel that I can model a lot of what you do at home so the benefits carry on past the sessions. " mom of a teen
"My son Jack has been working with Maria for the past few months and his progress already is amazing. Maria doesn't just try to get him to parrot sounds. She addresses the whole kid physically, emotionally and functionally; and she is training me to teach him correctly.  Jack LOVES going to speech and doesn't want to miss a lesson. I can't say enough good things!! We love Maria and The Speech Square!"
"We love Maria so much that we drive 45 minutes in traffic to see her!  She is warm and familiar at first sight and your child will instantly have a connection to Maria.  Speech therapy is different every week which keeps my son engaged." a mom
"Words cannot describe how genuine and caring Maria is to my child. We have been going to Maria for one year now and the impact on our child's speech is profound and her advice is invaluable."
"I have a lot of fun at speech with Ms. Maria.  Sometimes I get to play speech games on her tablet, which doesn't even seem like work.  I like speech work if it's playing games and to keep my hands busy, I work with play-doh.  As a reward I get a bag of chips for the ride home." 6 year -old boy 
"I would recommend Maria to anyone..in fact, I do! Our son has been working with Maria for just about a year. He has gone from barely putting two words together, to being able to get his point across and express his needs. Her warm personality and willingness to get on his level makes each session a successful one. She's not afraid to change things up and try new techniques when something isn't working for my son. I attribute his progress to her hard work and dedication." ​B
We have been working with Maria for the past year.  She identifies my son's shortcomings and focus areas and prepares something unique every week.  My son loves going to his speech sessions and he has come a long way in his social skills improvement, pronunciation, organizing thoughts, and much more.  We thank Maria for her service and expertise.  We highly recommend her to parents who want to learn how to help their child.  Parent of 5-year-old.

After receiving Colin's diagnosis, my wife and I started to learn everything we could about Autism and Asperger's.  What struck me was the fact that there is no quick fix for Colin, no pill that was going to make him "better."  To help Colin, it was going to require lots of hard work and time.
Now that we're 4 years down the road from the initial diagnosis, we've seen first hand that slow and steady is the best technique for dealing with Colin's Autism.
We're in for the long haul.
Thank you.

My wife stays during our son's speech sessions. She comes back with a lot of action items to work on at home.  Thank you.
"We cannot say enough good things about Maria!  While being extremely professional and caring, she also makes speech therapy fun.  We could see my son's progress very quickly under her care and he loved coming to see Ms. Maria!" Linda
"My daughter's speech has greatly improved since starting treatment with Maria. She began treatment speaking a short list of single words and within months is now speaking short sentences. Not only does Maria truly care about my daughter, she cares about me by taking her time to make me feel comfortable and understand the treatment process. My family highly recommends Maria for speech-language therapy!"  Emily
"I have found my speech therapy sessions to be beneficial and would strongly recommend Maria for speech.  I have learned many techniques for improving sounds and voice, as well as practical exercises I could do at home.  She is also very supportive and knowledgeable and makes therapy enjoyable and comfortable."  anonymous adult
