Speech Language Pathology in St. John’s
Below you will find a selection of testimonials from our satisfied clients. See what they had to say about our services!
“I had a stutter since I was about 10 years old. As the years passed and I tried to hide my stutter, the stutter turned into a blockage of words. I contacted SLPPP because my speech was hindering my work conversations and I wanted to fix that problem.”
“As our child was preparing to start kindergarten, there were concerns that he was unable to properly make certain sounds or pronounce words clearly (s, f, m sounds, jumbling of words). Close friends and family were familiar with his speech and could understand or figure out what he was saying but strangers or people unfamiliar with him would have difficulty understanding him. This was starting to cause some concerns for us and frustration for our child.”
“Our first appointment put everyone at ease and let us know that we were on the right path. Within a couple of sessions, we could all notice a difference in his speech !! And even more important, a difference in his self confidence. He loved attending the sessions and worked hard every time, sometimes without even realizing it.”
“She has gone from a few sounds and simple one syllable words to multiple sounds, multiple words with 2-3 syllables , and many signs.”
“The assessment alone showed me that my child had more speech language abilities than I realized and the progress
she has made is undeniable!”
“I am very happy I chose private SLP services. They are amazing and very quick to see.”
“Seeking Private SLP services was the best thing we could have done when we initially raised concerns with our family physician. While we were on a waitlist for public services, we regularly visited our private SLP and have made huge progresses.”
“Although an outgoing and generally happy child, my son was becoming frustrated with his lack of progress in school and increasingly aware of social difficulties. Some adults don't fully understand him and other children were starting to make fun of his speech. Tired of waiting for the healthcare and school system to provide the help he needs, I decided to investigate private speech therapy as one of several options to help him.”
“My SLP took the time to listen to my concerns, truly understand the issues involved and, in addition - and beyond her expected scope - she got to understand my son's personality and the best way to work with him. She took time to explain everything about her plan and how it will help and even provided me with info on other services I could use.”
“He looks forward to his sessions each week because he knows they're making a big difference too and he is fully engaged
in helping himself improve.”
“In addition, I've learned from my SLP as well! By observing her work with my son I've been able to not only work more effectively with him at home and pick up tricks to help him remember what he's learned, I've also gained a better understanding of his learning style, which helps in all aspects of learning and development!”
“Contrary to what many children experience, he gained rather than slumped over the summer.
being able to attend speech therapy with my child allows me to observe how to best work with him at home.”
“If, like us, you're stuck on a waitlist for services, engaging a private SLP will take away that helpless feeling that parents of children with any challenges feel. Your child will be assessed and treated right away and you can take charge of at least that aspect of their special needs.”
“We were amazed at how much the speech pathologist could tell after just speaking with him for a short time.”
“We have been really pleased with the outcomes. Our SLP has been educating us too on ways we can encourage the
proper sounds at home.”
“I wish we had looked into services a little sooner, as with our son, this may have helped him progress faster before some of the incorrect sounds got so ingrained in him. We are planning to have our other son assessed soon as well, so that if there are issues, we can correct them right away.”
“We went to a psychologist after our child's teacher had come to us very early in the school year with serious concerns about her academic performance. The psychologist recommended seeing a SLP as part of her therapy to overcome her language processing disorder.”
“My daughter's academic performance has greatly improved! Her reading is coming along very well. We are extremely pleased with the improvement in her school work.”
“Our daughter is now doing very well in school. Had we put off private SLP therapy, or waited for the school to provide SLP therapy, we feel she wouldn't be doing as well as she is now. It was important for us to address our concerns with her immediately, and we are so glad that we did... and most of the cost was covered by our private insurance, as there was very little out-of-pocket cost to us.”
“The help that our daughter received was invaluable! It was so worth seeking private SLP therapy for her and having our concerns addressed right away. Our SLP was extremely flexible in scheduling our appointments and the one-on-one sessions really benefited our daughter.”
