What Parents Say

"I signed up my 2 year old for her toddler speech therapy play dates. We played with Marla and Sebastian over the summer and it was so fun! Nolan said more new words with her on our first playdate than he was saying total at the time.  By the end of summer he was starting to string 2 words together, and saying his sister and brother's names which was very exciting! We went to parks and to the Botanical Gardens. Marla keeps things fun & new, Sebastian is the perfect assistant. She does a great job of summarizing your time together with a follow up email and adding in all the tips & tricks discussed in the session. Thank you Marla!"
