    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided!

    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 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!

    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.

    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.
  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.

    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.

  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.

  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.

  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, 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.

    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.

Summer SEIT Services for Preschoolers in Connecticut CT, Brooklyn Letters

What Parents Struggle With During Summer

When school lets out for summer, parents of preschoolers with developmental needs face unique challenges. Structured routines that supported their child’s learning and behavior often disappear, leading to regression in communication, social skills, and emotional regulation. On top of that, many parents are balancing work, other children, and a lack of specialized educational support—creating a stressful, overwhelming situation for the entire family.

Summer should be a time for growth, not setbacks. That’s why Brooklyn Letters offers in-person SEIT (Special Education Itinerant Teacher) services throughout Connecticut to keep your child progressing in a supportive, familiar environment.

We Travel Throughout Connecticut

Our in-person SEITs travel to Fairfield County (Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Weston, Westport, Wilton, Easton, Redding, Ridgefield, Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, Fairfield, Newtown, New Fairfield), and Litchfield County (Canaan, New Milford).

We meet children where they are—literally and developmentally. Whether at home, a daycare, or a family member’s house, we bring high-quality services right to your door.

Why Choose Brooklyn Letters?

Choosing a provider for your child’s summer educational support is a big decision. At Brooklyn Letters, we’re not just another tutoring service—we’re a specialized team of educators dedicated to delivering individualized, high-quality instruction in your child’s natural environment. Here are eight compelling reasons families trust us each year:

1. We Come to You

Every SEIT on our team holds state certification in special education and has years of hands-on experience working with preschool-aged children. They are not only skilled professionals but also compassionate, patient educators who understand early childhood development.

3. Customized Instruction

We design every session around your child’s unique needs, learning style, and IEP (if applicable). Instruction is dynamic, engaging, and always aligned with your family’s goals and schedule.

4. Summer Continuity

Many children lose academic, social, and behavioral progress during summer breaks without consistent support. Our SEIT services maintain and build on school-year gains, preventing regression and preparing your child for a confident return to school in the fall.

5. Evidence-Based Strategies

We rely on a blend of time-tested and research-backed methodologies like DIR/Floortime, and TEACCH. These approaches are tailored to support your child’s specific learning profile and ensure measurable outcomes.

6. Family Empowerment

You’re part of the team. We involve you in the learning process by modeling strategies and offering tools you can use daily, strengthening carryover between sessions and giving you confidence as a caregiver.

7. Trusted by Professionals

Why SEIT Services Matter During Summer 2025

Summer 2025 presents a crucial opportunity to reinforce your child’s development. Without daily access to educators and structured routines, many preschoolers with special needs are at risk of losing critical skills they’ve worked hard to develop. SEIT services during the summer act as a safety net—ensuring consistent learning, supporting behavior and communication goals, and giving children the best chance to thrive.

Our SEIT sessions are intentionally play-based, engaging, and aligned with each child’s developmental goals. We ensure your child continues to grow socially, emotionally, and academically even when school is out.

Who We Support

We proudly support a wide range of preschool-aged children across Connecticut—each with their own story, strengths, and areas for growth. Our SEIT services are flexible enough to adapt to each child’s developmental profile, while structured enough to ensure progress.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):

Our SEITs use individualized, visual, and sensory-friendly strategies to support communication, reduce anxiety, and improve social interactions for children with autism. We work on routines, transitions, and flexibility to build confidence and independence.

Speech and Language Delays:

For children with expressive or receptive language challenges, we incorporate speech goals into natural learning routines. Our SEITs reinforce vocabulary, comprehension, and sentence structure through interactive play and structured activities.

Sensory Processing Issues:

Children who are overwhelmed or under-stimulated by their environment receive support through sensory-integrated teaching techniques. We help children self-regulate and improve attention, emotional control, and comfort in everyday situations.

Behavioral Challenges:

Using behavior management frameworks, we support children who struggle with impulsivity, defiance, or emotional outbursts. Sessions are designed to teach self-control and appropriate responses through positive reinforcement.

Cognitive Delays and Learning Differences:

We break down complex tasks into achievable steps and build executive function skills like memory, planning, and attention. Children receive one-on-one coaching that respects their pace and builds confidence in their abilities.

Children With or Without IEPs:

Whether your child has a formal diagnosis and an IEP or is just beginning to show signs of developmental delay, we provide comprehensive support. Our assessments and progress tracking help guide families through both short- and long-term needs.

Our goal is to meet each child where they are—and help them grow with empathy, expertise, and encouragement.

Specialty Areas of Expertise

Before we begin working with your child, we conduct a detailed intake to identify key areas of support. These areas reflect our team’s expertise and the most common challenges faced by preschoolers with developmental delays or disabilities.

Early Childhood Special Education:

We specialize in addressing developmental milestones in the 3–5-year-old range. Our team understands the nuances of this stage and uses tools that are age-appropriate and emotionally sensitive.

Speech and Language Development:

Whether your child needs to build vocabulary, follow directions, or express thoughts clearly, our SEITs embed speech goals into every activity. This integration accelerates progress and improves daily communication.

Behavior and Emotional Regulation:

Many children struggle with big emotions, transitions, and social interactions. We teach coping strategies, reinforce calm behaviors, and model routines that make your child’s day more manageable.

School Readiness and Transition Planning:

From fine motor skills to group play, we prepare children for the next step—whether that’s preschool, kindergarten, or another placement. Your child will enter school more confident, capable, and ready to engage.

We build plans that honor your child’s individuality while drawing from proven techniques to ensure meaningful, measurable growth.

Techniques and Tools We Use

We implement a thoughtful combination of teaching strategies to ensure we meet each child’s learning style. These techniques are flexible, evidence-based, and designed to promote progress in real-world settings.

  • DIR/Floortime:
    Builds emotional connections through child-led play. Encourages self-expression, flexibility, and social interaction.
  • TEACCH:
    Uses visual supports and structured environments to help children understand tasks and routines. Promotes independence and reduces anxiety.
  • Social Stories & Visual Schedules:
    Help children prepare for transitions, understand expectations, and navigate social situations. Particularly helpful for children with autism or anxiety.
  • Positive Behavior Supports (PBS):
    Encourages appropriate behavior through praise, choice-making, and emotional coaching. Focused on long-term success, not just short-term fixes.

Our sessions are never one-size-fits-all. We adapt our tools to your child’s learning style, goals, and daily routine—so progress feels natural, not forced.

Benefits Beyond the Classroom

While our work supports academic and developmental goals, its impact reaches far beyond worksheets or flashcards. Children gain the confidence to communicate their needs, participate in play, and connect with others.

These are life-changing wins. Our goal is to help your child not only succeed in school, but thrive in every aspect of life.

How We Collaborate With Families

We believe that parents are essential partners in their child’s development. Our SEITs work closely with caregivers, offering real-time feedback, practical strategies, and ongoing progress updates.

When families and professionals collaborate, the impact multiplies. We’re here to empower you, not replace you.

 Flexible Scheduling for Busy Families

We understand that summer is a time for vacations, camps, and spontaneous fun. That’s why our services are flexible, with scheduling options that fit around your family’s summer calendar.

Our goal is to be a source of support, not stress. With Brooklyn Letters, you’ll never have to choose between developmental support and summer freedom.
