We are forever grateful for Marlo. Her warm, friendly and fun personality drew our son in an she was able to connect with him immediately. This was a blessing for us! We have worked with other speech therapists that didn't connect and sessions were unsuccessful and at times painful to watch. He is always excited to see her and waits for her arrival.

We appreciate her ability to work with us as parents and help us with homework during the week to enhance his progress in between sessions.

Jennifer and Steve- 4 year old son
My son is thirteen and has global Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). At our first interview with Marlo, it didn't take much time to realize that she was one of those people with an abundance of energy and a positive outlook on life. Her spirit is motivating and loving which is something Mark needed because he has had many years of therapy. We needed someone that could keep a teenager's attention and allow him to be himself during each session. It amazes me how patient Marlo is with Mark. She always has materials that are interesting to a young adult and uses her creativity to keep his attention. She is so good at asking for Mark's input as to what he wants to work on and she honors his opinions allowing him to feel included in his sessions. Marlo makes certain to hold him accountable for his practice between sessions, which we as parents appreciate.
