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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.

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.

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. -
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!

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. -
"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.

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.
IMPROVING SPEECH CLARITY WITH NYC ADULT SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES
Alongside improving pronunciation, speech therapy for adults could significantly help enhance speech clarity. Adults struggling with speech disorders may often feel self-conscious, frustrated, or misunderstood, curtailing their communication ability. Adult speech therapy can crucially assist in overcoming these hardships, providing a safe therapeutic space for enhanced verbal articulation and fluency. Speech therapists are trained to employ scientifically backed methods that systematically address individual speech problems.
Whether the speech disorder resulted from a stroke, neurogenic speech disorder, or other medically treating conditions, our NYC adult speech therapy services are well-equipped to create personalized treatment plans that cater to individual needs and progress with consistent practice.

Our NYC adult speech therapy offers comprehensive and holistic care for adults experiencing speech, language, and voice difficulties. We travel throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.
Speech, Language & Voice Therapy Services for Adults
Adults seek speech therapy for various reasons. Some individuals may experience difficulties with articulation and struggling to pronounce words or sounds correctly. Others may grapple with language disorders, which affect their ability to understand and use language effectively. Aphasia, for instance, is a common language disorder resulting from brain injury or stroke, which can hinder one’s communication ability.
Voice therapy is another essential aspect of adult speech therapy services. It addresses issues related to vocal quality, pitch, and resonance. Adults may seek voice therapy for various reasons, such as vocal strain, hoarseness, or vocal cord disorders. Voice therapy can help individuals regain a healthy and functional voice, especially if their profession or daily life heavily relies on verbal communication.
Moreover, speech-language pathologists are well-equipped to assist adults with communication challenges resulting from neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis. They can provide strategies and exercises to enhance speech intelligibility and help manage communication difficulties associated with these conditions.
Leveraging advanced therapeutic techniques and personalized treatments, our licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) assist adults in overcoming communication barriers that may impact their work, social interactions, and general quality of life.
Whether it’s speech disorders such as stammering and stuttering, language disorders like aphasia, or voice disorders such as dysphonia, our NYC-based speech therapists are skilled in addressing various communication issues. Our services are designed to help you communicate clearly and effectively and instill confidence and independence in your day-to-day communication. We are committed to helping you find your voice and express yourself freely. Our speech therapists travel throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.
3 Convenient Speech Therapy Options for Adults
Whether you’re a busy professional, an elderly individual, or someone recovering from an injury, finding suitable speech therapy can be daunting. However, in NYC, there are three main convenient speech therapy options for adults. These include in-person sessions, online therapy, and in-home sessions. In-person sessions provide one-on-one interaction with a therapist, which helps to customize the treatment to your unique needs and challenges. You can opt for online therapy if your schedule is too tight for regular hospital visits. You’ll access the same professional care but at your convenience. Lastly, for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues, home-based programs offer comfort and personalized therapy within your comfortable home environment.
With these options, our NYC adult speech therapy ensures effective communication skills are within everyone’s reach. We travel throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, providing speech-language therapy for adults. We also offer remote and in-home sessions based on your schedule!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I completely fix my stutter?
While it’s challenging to guarantee a complete eradication of stuttering, speech therapy can certainly help you make significant improvements. It’s important to remember that progress varies by individual, and it often depends on various factors such as the severity of the stutter, age, frequency of therapy sessions, and the individual’s commitment to practicing techniques at home.
Can I completely fix my lisp?
Absolutely! You may alleviate or entirely overcome your lisp. Many adults bear the misconception that their speech impediment is unchangeable after childhood, but this is far from the truth. It’s always possible to work towards clearer, more confident communication. Remember, consistency is key – consistent speech therapy sessions can lead to progressive improvement, reducing or even eliminating your lisp over time.
My voice is weak, and people always ask me to speak up. What options are available for me?
There are numerous solutions available for individuals facing challenges, such as a weak voice, thanks to the modern advancements in speech therapy. Skilled and experienced speech therapists in New York City apply many therapies, including voice therapy, to enhance vocal quality. These professionals utilize approaches like Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), focused on increasing vocal intensity. They also offer therapeutic exercises designed to improve vocal strength and projection. Moreover, adopting easy and efficient vocal habits taught by these experts can significantly help conquer voice weakness.
People tell me I speak too quickly, and they need help understanding me. Is there anything I can do?
This is a normal issue, and speech therapy can assist you in improving your speech pace and clarity. Our licensed and experienced adult speech-language pathologists utilize specific exercises and techniques to help you slow your speech rate, practice clear articulation, and ensure your message is well-understood.
I have always mumbled, and it makes it hard to express myself. Can speech therapy help?
Speech therapy can immensely benefit adults in improving their speech and communication skills. Adult speech therapy programs cater specifically to the nuanced requirements of adults who struggle with various speech-related issues, including mumbling, stuttering, articulation disorders, and more. Working with a licensed speech-language pathologist can help you enhance clarity in your speech, aiding in better personal and professional communication. Whether it’s about speaking more clearly, eloquently, or confidently, tailor-made therapy plans can truly cater to your specific goals and needs.
