  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters T Ainsley ★★★★★ 5 months ago
    I cannot express how grateful and rewarding my experience with Brooklyn Letters has been. Her tutor Ms. Daria is so knowledgeable, amazing, kind and awesome. My daughter has made so much progress in Literacy and Math and it's all … More thanks to Ms. Daria. I know my daughter is sad that she can no longer work with Ms. Daria, as she looked forward to their sessions every week. Thank you again!

  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Colin Peters ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much! She’s simply amazing and we can’t say enough how great she is. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone, without hesitation. Thank you so much for connecting us with her!
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Heather Liljengren ★★★★★ a year ago
    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Brigid Bower ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Duygu Başaran ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Brooklyn Letters was recommended to me through a friend's speech therapist friend in NJ. The articulation evaluation for my daughter went well. We were pleased with Kristin's services.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Kelley Peters-Patel ★★★★★ a year ago
    Melissa was wonderful. Our daughter warmed to her immediately and by the time she left, had already started "practicing" some of the techniques Melissa had shown her. I will not hesitate at all to reach out to Melissa again, should … More the need arise.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters R Elmore ★★★★★ a year ago
    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Christine Weiher ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We were amazed with Allison! She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. … More I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Jacob B ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife. She provided thorough and informative updates on our son's progress and which exercises she was using with him, so we could reinforce what she was teaching him. All in all, we had a fabulous experience with Christie and would highly recommend her.

  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Lesley Duval ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Theo was fantastic with our 4yo son. We were very worried that his progress would fall off when we had to switch to remote sessions, but Theo kept our son happy and engaged through the screen. Highly highly recommend!
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Travis Ricca ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I worked with Alina to enhance my pronunciation, tone, and pacing while communicating socially and in a work environment. She was great to work with and clear about goals and learning objectives. The improvement from day 1 has been tremendous! … More
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Enrico Bermudez ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Cathy has been excellent with us and our son. We will sorely miss her. He has improved significantly with Cathy’s help. Cathy was a true partner with us, especially as we pursued additional help through our son’s school system.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Kayne Elisabeth Wilk ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We really loved working with Alina, she is so fantastic. Patient yet firm, and determined the best course of action very clearly and succintly for us. And it all transitioned so well to Zoom as well. I will definitely be back in touch for … More services for our other child after summer break!

  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Alicia Perez-Katz ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Sydney was great! Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self monitor and practice. Thank you!
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Aisha Holder ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."

    Alexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well prepared and caring teacher for our 6 year old daughter. She has been able to improve and increase our daughter's confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied … More and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy. My wife and I, both of us are educators, feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Alexa's pedagogical skills. Alexa has had a big impact on our daughter literacy growth. Thank you Brooklyn Letters!
  • Speech Language Therapy for Toddlers & Preschoolers in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Letters Lily Alt ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

Recognizing Speech and Language Delays in a Brooklyn Context

Speech and language delays are a common concern for parents, and they can manifest in different ways. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), around 8-9% of young children have a speech or language disorder. In a city like Brooklyn, a child’s environment can play a unique role in their development.

Here are some factors that may influence communication in Brooklyn:

  • Multilingual Environments: Brooklyn is one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world. Many families speak multiple languages at home, which is a wonderful asset. However, it can sometimes impact the pace of language acquisition. Our therapists are skilled in working with bilingual and multilingual children to support their development in all languages they use.
  • High-Stimulus Urban Setting: From the sounds of the subway to the buzz of a bustling street, the city is a noisy place. This can make it challenging for some children to focus on spoken language, especially those with auditory processing difficulties.
  • The “Hustle” of City Life: Busy schedules and the demands of city living can sometimes lead to fewer opportunities for slow, focused, one-on-one conversations. Our in-home therapy model intentionally carves out dedicated time for this vital interaction.

Key Signs Your Toddler May Need Speech Therapy

It’s important to trust your instincts as a parent. If you have a gut feeling that something isn’t right, it’s worth seeking a professional opinion. Here are some specific signs to watch for that may indicate your child could benefit from a speech and language evaluation:

  • Limited Vocabulary: By age two, a child should have a vocabulary of at least 50 words and be putting two-word phrases together.
  • Pronunciation Difficulties: People outside your family have trouble understanding what your child says. They might consistently drop sounds or replace them with others.
  • Difficulty Following Instructions: Your child struggles to understand and follow simple, one-step commands (e.g., “Get the ball”).
  • Lack of Social Communication: Your child has trouble engaging in back-and-forth communication or using language to express their needs and desires.
  • Stuttering: You notice your child repeating sounds, words, or syllables (e.g., “c-c-cat”), or their speech has an uneven, halting rhythm.
  • Oral Motor Concerns: Your child struggles with chewing, swallowing, or making certain sounds due to difficulties with the movement of their mouth and tongue.

Early intervention is key. Addressing these issues early can prevent them from becoming more significant problems as your child gets older.

How Brooklyn Letters Can Help
The Evaluation Process: A Clear Path Forward

Every journey with us begins with a comprehensive speech and language evaluation. This is a crucial first step that allows our therapists to understand your child’s unique communication profile and create a customized treatment plan.

Our evaluations are conducted in a natural, play-based manner, so they feel more like fun than a test. We assess the following areas:

  • Expressive and Receptive Language: We’ll observe how your child communicates with words and gestures, and how well they understand what you and others are saying.
  • Speech Sound Production: We’ll listen for any patterns in how your child produces sounds and words to identify potential articulation disorders.
  • Fluency: We’ll gently observe for signs of stuttering or other disfluencies in your child’s speech patterns.
  • Oral Motor Skills: We examine the coordination and movement of your child’s lips, tongue, and jaw, which are essential for both speaking and eating.

After the evaluation, we’ll sit down with you to review our findings in a clear, jargon-free report. We’ll then work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals. This collaborative approach ensures you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Effective and Playful Therapy Techniques

We believe that learning should be fun! Our licensed SLPs use a variety of evidence-based techniques that are specifically chosen for toddlers and preschoolers. They learn best through engagement and connection, and our sessions are designed with that in mind.

Our techniques include:

  • Play-Based Therapy: We use toys, games, books, and imaginative play to make learning feel natural and enjoyable. Your child will be having fun while we are expertly targeting their communication goals.
  • Modeling and Repetition: Our therapists model correct speech sounds and language structures, and through playful repetition, your child will begin to internalize and use these patterns themselves.
  • Visual Cues: For children with language delays, we use visual supports like picture cards and gestures to help them express themselves and reduce frustration.
  • Parent Coaching: You are your child’s most important communication partner. We will share practical strategies and “homework” ideas you can use during daily routines like mealtimes, bathtime, and playtime to reinforce their new skills.
  • Songs and Rhymes: Music is a powerful tool for language development. We use songs and rhymes to work on auditory memory, rhythm, and expressive vocabulary.

TESTIMONIALS

"Craig and all the tutors and therapists are a delight to deal with, intelligent, knowledgeable, effective, responsible. Highly recommended. Our son is now 9 1/2 years old, and attends a mainstream private school in Brooklyn where we live. We have utilized Brooklyn Letters at three different times for our son. Our son has speech apraxia. First, at 2 years old, our son did speech therapy twice a week for a year, with Craig himself. Later at 6 years old, I contacted Craig again about a reading tutor because although our son could read, his school at the time taught reading at a different pace than many schools and we knew we wanted to transfer. Our son made huge progress the full year we had the reading tutor and has since continued great progress at his new school, where he tests two grades ahead in reading. We wanted to supplement the speech therapy we get at school so last year and this year we once again hired Brooklyn Letters (Rebecca) to provide private speech therapy. With all these tutors or therapists, our son has had a lot of fun and he looks forward to the sessions. I have always recommended Brooklyn Letters to neighbors, friends, and classmates who need these services. Craig and all the tutors and therapists are a delight to deal with, intelligent, knowledgeable, effective, responsible. Highly recommended."

"Julia was amazing with daughter. My daughter had a very difficult end of preschool year and Julia was awesome with working with her during a difficult time. She was always super patient and kind and knew when to push and when to pull back. My daughter’s speech has improved tremendously since working with Julia. Her confidence in speaking has also improved a lot. Also, she has become a lot less frustrated when speaking."

"Mary was so easy and comforting. We have been working with Brooklyn Letters for about a year now and are very satisfied with Mary, our speech therapist, and the company. The first call to Craig was an immediate response, and the initial conversation with Mary was so easy and comforting during a hard time when our two-year-old was not really using more than single words. Choosing private speech therapy was a big decision for us. Having such a great speech pathologist made us realize that this was the right choice. Our son looks forward to his lessons with Mary and he’s communicating so nicely now. We are very happy with this service."
