WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Sabrina, parent
Lesley has been a phenomenal SLP for our child. My child's speech has grown exponentially because of Lesley's tailored approach.
Carlos, 7th Grader
Ms. Summers is a really nice SLP and she is funny, intelligent and she talks to me in Spanish. She comes up with really fun activities. She is a really great SLP and the best one I have ever had.
Kristine Rodman, Director of The Cathedral School
Lesley has been an invaluable asset to The Cathedral School for several years, providing exceptional speech and language support to our preschool students.
I am truly grateful to have Lesley as a resource for our students. I highly recommend Lesley and have seen firsthand the life-changing impact she has on the children she serves.
Danielle, parent
Since working with Lesley, my son has gained more functional language and confidence. He is also getting better at ordering his own meals and expressing his emotions. Lesley not only pushes my son, but she pushes me to get my son outside of his comfort zone.
