Why Choose Private Speech Therapy?
Private speech therapy provides numerous advantages over traditional therapy settings. By opting for doorstep services, you save valuable time commuting and can enjoy the convenience of therapy sessions taking place in the comfort of your own home. This eliminates the need for additional travel and allows your child to receive therapy in a familiar environment, enhancing their comfort and engagement during sessions. Our personalized approach tailors each session to meet your child’s needs, ensuring maximum progress and success.
The Role of Speech Therapists and Pathologists
Speech therapists, often known as speech-language pathologists (SLPs), are professionals trained to assess and treat various speech and language disorders. These dedicated experts possess the knowledge and skills to deal with various communication issues, including articulation, fluency, voice, and language development. At Brooklyn Letters, our team of experienced SLPs specializes in pediatric speech therapy, making them well-equipped to support children of all ages to overcome their speech and language difficulties.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive range of speech therapy services encompasses everything your child needs to thrive in their communication skills. Whether your child requires speech evaluations, intervention for specific speech disorders, or support for conditions such as dyslexia, our team is here to guide them every step of the way. We design individualized therapy plans tailored to your child’s unique strengths and challenges, incorporating evidence-based techniques and strategies. With Brooklyn Letters, you can rest assured that your child receives the highest quality care from dedicated professionals committed to their success.
Making the Most of Summer Speech Therapy
Summer is an excellent time for children to concentrate on focusing on their speech and language development. With the absence of school-related stressors, your child can fully immerse themselves in therapeutic activities. Here are a few tips to help you reap the most benefits of summer speech therapy:
- Establish Consistency: Consistent attendance is key to achieving optimal progress. Schedule therapy sessions regularly, ensuring your child has dedicated time for practice and improvement.
- Encourage Home Practice: Speech therapy extends beyond the therapy room. Support your child’s progress by reinforcing therapy techniques and exercises at home. Our SLPs will provide you with practical strategies and activities that you can incorporate into your regular routine.
- Emphasize Motivation and Fun: Learning should be enjoyable! Encourage your child to engage in speech exercises through games, storytelling, and interactive activities. By creating a positive and stimulating environment, your child will be more motivated to participate actively.
- Communicate Openly: Maintain open lines of communication with your child’s speech therapist. Share any concerns, observations, or progress your child has made. This collaboration will enable the therapist to adjust and refine the therapy plan as needed.
Speech therapy for kids is typically done in a one-on-one setting, which can occur in a clinic, school, or home environment. The speech therapist will assess the child’s skills, abilities, and communication needs. Based on this assessment, the therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan to help the child develop specific skills, such as pronunciation, or help them learn how to produce sounds or express language. The therapist will also provide strategies for the family to use on a daily basis to help the child reach their goals. With the right support and intervention, these therapists can help children learn and communicate more effectively.

You perform an important role as a parent in nurturing your child’s speech and language skills. With Brooklyn Letters’ doorstep private speech therapy services, you can provide your child with specialized care that promotes communication growth and confidence. Our team of dedicated speech therapists and pathologists are committed to empowering your child to reach their full potential.
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, 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.

I am so grateful to her. Amy is a fantastic speech therapist, reading strategist, and confidence-builder! My now-7-year-old son was having difficulty with enunciation, and, perhaps relatedly, hesitating to try reading aloud. I was concerned about taking him to a speech therapist because I did not want to make him (more) self-conscious. A year ago, Craig at Brooklyn Letters recommended Amy, and the whole family has come to rely on her. My 7-year old’s speech is much clearer than it was, and Amy has taught him a bunch of different strategies to try if he is unsure how to make a sound or read a word, which greatly reinforced his reading learning at school. Amy saw immediately how to win my shy son’s confidence (ask him to explain how to play chess to her), and targeted her strategies to his strengths (numbers and sports!) so that he could work on the new skills while feeling good about himself. My son looks forward to Amy’s weekly visits immensely (it is also really helpful that she comes to our house!). Amy recently told me that she thought he was ready to graduate from their sessions, and I immediately felt like this would be a real loss for him and for me as a parent because I have so come to value Amy’s advice. So I persuaded her to work with him once a week on Spanish (Amy is bi-lingual), which he has just begun at school, and on homework strategies. I am so grateful to her.

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.
