Neuro Speech Therapy

Stephanie is a very professional and skilled therapist with a friendly, calm and nurturing demeanor. She's very perceptive while being compassionate and conversational. She did a wonderful job assessing an elderly friend and guiding us in putting together a plan of action.

My mother suffered a massive stroke in February 2022. She was left with severe aphasia. For months, the only words she could speak were "alright" and "I don't know". My mother went to acute rehab and then was in a subacute rehab facility. However, in both of these settings she had inconsistent access to quality Speech Therapy and was not making any gains.

While my mother could not walk or care for herself, the challenges with communicating were the most frustrating for her and my father. I knew for her quality of life to improve there would need to be substantial improvement in her communication. That is when I began to search high and low for a Speech Therapist who could offer my mother the services she deserved.

Finding Neuro Speech Therapy was a COMPLETE game changer in my mother's recovery. From initial contact Stephanie was compassionate, knowledgeable and eager to help. Stephanie went above and beyond to provide my mother with excellent speech therapy. She even created a personalized communication board. My mother and father looked forward to Stephanie's therapy sessions because Stephanie was able to show them how to communicate more with each other.

Within the first few weeks of working with Stephanie my mother made incredible improvements with her communication. Every week it was so exciting to hear my mother say a few new words! Stephanie even worked with her on how to make a phone call. A few weeks later, my heart skipped a beat when I looked at my phone and saw an incoming call from my mother. This was something I wasn't sure I'd ever see again after her stroke. My parents made the decision to move back to New York to finish my mom's recovery journey, but if they find themselves in Florida again, I will not hesitate to enlist the help of Stephanie.

If you are looking for the best speech therapy in the Sarasota area, Neuro Speech Therapy is the answer.

Ever since I was a child, I have had a speech impediment. When I was in elementary school, I was put into a few speech therapy sessions, but I was treated so poorly that my parents never took me back. I was defeated and thought I’d just had to accept the fact that I was going to have this issue for the rest of my life. At the age of 29, I met Stephanie through my business. I learned that she was a speech pathologist, and being that she was so kind, I wanted to give speech therapy another chance. We did it via zoom because we were both in different states, and it was the best experience ever. I felt absolutely comfortable opening up and sharing life experiences that have led to traumas that resulted in my speech issues. Several weeks later, I was doing so much better with my speech, being able to read and have conversations without any stuttering or hesitation. The confidence I felt was like anything I’d ever felt in my life. I’m so thankful for Stephanie; she was an absolute blessing! I would recommend her over and over again. She changed my life.
