    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!

    Nicole has been an amazing therapist!! She played a tremendous role in our daughter’s speech progress and overall development. She has come such a long way and we are so happy with the therapy she received!
  • Avatar 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!
  • Avatar 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!
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar Jessica C ★★★★★ a year ago
    Theo was wonderful and his work with my son has produced some progress. I am grateful for the services Theo provided.
  • Avatar Melissa Stevens ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Highly recommend Jill. She is a total pleasure to work with. After a few months working with Jill, my son is reading above grade level and LOVES to read. Mission accomplished!
  • Avatar Demet Evren ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Paige was great and we had been really happy with her. I would highly recommend her! I recommend Brooklyn Letters to whomever asks for a speech therapist.
  • Avatar Jeizel Rosenthal ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Isabel was WONDERFUL and our son absolutely adored her, and he is making great progress with his reading and writing.
  • Avatar 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!
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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!
  • Avatar Jen S ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Vera was amazing! My 11 yo daughter made progress so quickly and really looked forward to her sessions. She was kept motivated and engaged.
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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!
  • Avatar 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.
  • Avatar 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."
  • Avatar Andrea Peartree ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Theo is a wonderful Clinton Hill speech therapist. We were really pleased with him. Our son showed drastic improvement, not only in his speech but in his confidence.
  • Avatar mario costa ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    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!
  • Avatar 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.

Understanding the Signs of a Speech Delay on Long Island Toddlers

Speech delays are a common concern for parents, and getting the right support is key. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), about 1 in 12 children has a speech or language disorder. On Long Island, a variety of factors can influence a child’s communication development:

  • Limited One-on-One Interaction: In busy households with demanding schedules, children might have fewer opportunities for focused, one-on-one conversations that are crucial for language learning.
  • Multilingual Environments: Many Long Island families speak more than one language at home. While this is a wonderful asset, it can sometimes present a temporary challenge for children as they navigate and master multiple linguistic systems.
  • Environmental Factors: A child’s exposure to diverse social settings and interactions can play a role in their speech development.

Early intervention speech therapy is a powerful tool to address these delays before they can impact a child’s confidence and social skills. It provides the essential building blocks for children to communicate effectively and confidently.

Whether it’s asking for a favorite toy, naming objects in the kitchen, or requesting help with a puzzle, in-home therapy helps children apply what they’ve learned to everyday situations.
  • Direct Parent Involvement: In-home therapy encourages parents to be a part of the process. You’ll receive direct coaching on how to reinforce speech skills throughout the day, turning everyday moments—like mealtime or playtime—into powerful learning opportunities.

Success Stories from Long Island Families

We’ve had the privilege of helping many toddlers and preschoolers across Long Island improve their communication skills. Here are a few examples of the positive impact our in-home speech therapy has had:

"These sessions are going well. Alyssa demonstrates exceptional patience with our son and is getting results. I am happy with the progression thus far."

~ Rey, parent of Long Island 6 year old

"Finding Amy was the best thing I’ve ever done for my kid. Finding the perfect therapist could not have been easier. My pediatrician recommended Brooklyn Letters and a few other places. Other places didn’t call me back or return emails; I heard back from Craig within the hour. A few emails later, he found my son a great therapist who was willing to travel to his daycare. My child LOVES Amy and loves his therapies. I appreciate that she sends me rundowns of all their sessions, gives me resources to continue his treatment at home, and is available for questions. She also has done an incredible amount of outside research and has taken time and energy to educate herself about my son’s somewhat unusual speech condition. Whenever I tell evaluators and other speech therapists about what she has done for my kid, they’re amazed and take pictures of the resources she created. And best of all, he is improving by leaps and bounds. Finding Amy was the best thing I’ve ever done for my kid."

- Rebeca

"We are very happy with Paige and recommend her with enthusiasm! We hired Paige to work with our six-year-old daughter and our three-year-old son on their speech impediments. Our son had a speech delay because he couldn’t make certain sounds; Paige helped him catch up to age level, and now he talks up a storm! Our daughter has a lisp, and Paige has helped her learn how to pronounce S properly and consciously correct herself. Our kids love Paige and are always excited about her visits. Paige has a wonderful manner with the kids; she’s playful and funny and incorporates a lot of games and toys into her therapy. She provides detailed reports to us on our kids’ progress after each visit and concrete instructions on how to continue therapy between her visits."

Signs Your Child May Benefit from Speech Therapy

It’s important to know the early warning signs of a speech delay. Noticing these can help you get your child the support they need as early as possible. Here are some key indicators to look for:

  • Limited Vocabulary: If your child’s vocabulary seems smaller than that of their peers, or if they aren’t learning new words regularly, it could signal a delay in language development.
  • Difficulty with Pronunciation: Watch for consistent trouble with certain sounds or words. For example, if your child says “wabbit” instead of “rabbit,” they may benefit from articulation therapy.
  • Trouble Following Directions: If your child struggles to understand and follow simple instructions, like “Put on your shoes” or “Give me the cup,” it may suggest a need for language comprehension support.
  • Limited Social Communication: A child who has difficulty starting conversations, asking for things, or using language to express their feelings might need support with their social communication skills.
  • Stuttering: If your child repeats sounds or syllables frequently, or if their speech has an uneven or disrupted flow, it could be a sign of stuttering that requires fluency therapy.
  • Oral Motor Issues: Difficulty with chewing, swallowing, or coordinating mouth movements can sometimes be linked to speech clarity issues. These signs might suggest a need for specialized oral motor or feeding therapy.

What to Expect: Evaluations and Your Child’s Personalized Plan
What to Expect Evaluations and Your Child’s Personalized Plan at Long Island
Get in Touch

Before we begin therapy, the first and most important step is a thorough evaluation. This allows our SLPs to understand your child’s current communication abilities and develop the most effective plan to support their growth.

Our licensed SLPs conduct this evaluation with patience and expertise, often through play-based interactions that feel natural and comfortable for your child.

Here’s what our evaluation process typically covers:

  • Speech and Language Assessment: We assess both expressive language (how your child communicates) and receptive language (how they understand others). This gives us a complete picture of their skills.
  • Articulation and Sound Production: We carefully examine how your child produces individual speech sounds and identify any patterns that may be impacting their clarity.
  • Fluency (Stuttering): We gently evaluate for signs of stuttering or other disfluencies and determine if intervention is necessary to support smooth speech.
  • Oral Motor and Feeding Skills: If your child has difficulty with speech clarity or feeding, we examine the coordination and movement of their oral muscles in a functional context.

Effective, Play-Based Therapy Techniques

We believe that speech therapy should be both effective and enjoyable. For toddlers and preschoolers, this means making learning feel like play. Our licensed SLPs use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to your child’s needs and personality:

  • Play-Based Therapy: We integrate toys, games, and books into every session. Through imaginative play, we target specific speech and language goals in a way that feels motivating and fun for your child.
  • Modeling and Repetition: Our therapists model correct speech sounds and sentence structures. By hearing these examples repeatedly, children naturally begin to imitate and internalize correct communication patterns.
  • Visual Supports: For children who are still building their verbal skills, we use visuals like picture cards and gestures. These tools can reduce frustration and help children express their needs more easily.
  • Parent Coaching: We view you as an essential part of your child’s therapy team. We’ll share simple strategies you can use during daily routines—like mealtimes or story time—to reinforce what’s learned in sessions. This teamwork helps accelerate progress.
  • Music and Movement: We use songs, rhymes, and movement activities to engage children and support the development of their auditory memory and expressive vocabulary.
  • AAC Support (When Appropriate): For children with more significant communication challenges, we can introduce augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods, such as picture boards, to help them express themselves.

Our goal is to create productive and joyful sessions that keep your child motivated and on a steady path to communication success.

Effective, Play-Based Therapy Techniques

We believe that speech therapy should be both effective and enjoyable. For toddlers and preschoolers, this means making learning feel like play. Our licensed SLPs use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to your child’s needs and personality:

  • Play-Based Therapy: We integrate toys, games, and books into every session. Through imaginative play, we target specific speech and language goals in a way that feels motivating and fun for your child.
  • Modeling and Repetition: Our therapists model correct speech sounds and sentence structures. By hearing these examples repeatedly, children naturally begin to imitate and internalize correct communication patterns.
  • Visual Supports: For children who are still building their verbal skills, we use visuals like picture cards and gestures. These tools can reduce frustration and help children express their needs more easily.

Frequently Asked Questions about At-Home Speech Therapy on Long Island

1.How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
If your child is struggling with pronunciation, has a limited vocabulary for their age, or has trouble following simple directions, it may be time to consider a consultation. Early intervention is key and can make a big difference.

2. What happens during a pediatric speech therapy evaluation?
A licensed SLP will observe your child’s communication skills through play and conversation. They will assess how well your child understands language and how effectively they express themselves. This helps us create a personalized plan.

3. How often will my child need therapy?
While many children benefit from weekly sessions, the frequency depends on your child’s individual needs. After the initial evaluation, your therapist will recommend a schedule that works best for your family.

4. Is in-home speech therapy covered by insurance?
Yes, we work with a variety of insurance providers. We recommend contacting us to check if your specific plan covers our services. We are happy to help you navigate this process.

It’s never too late, but the earlier you start, the better. Pediatric speech therapy can be beneficial for children as young as 18 months if there are signs of a delay.
