    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.

  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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!
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, Brooklyn Letters Duygu Başaran ★★★★★ 11 months ago

  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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 in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.

  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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!
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, Brooklyn Letters Travis Ricca ★★★★★ 3 years ago

  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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!

  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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 in Westchester, 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!
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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 in Westchester, 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!
  • Summer SEIT Services in Westchester, 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.

What Parents Struggle with During Summer

When the school year ends, many families find themselves without the support systems their children need to succeed. The absence of a structured environment, therapeutic interventions, and professional guidance often leads to setbacks in behavior, learning, and development.

That’s why our summer SEIT services are designed to maintain and build on the progress your child made during the year. We step in to provide the continuity and professional support that families often find hard to access in the summer months.

Common struggles include:

  • Difficulty maintaining routines:
    Without school, children often lack a consistent schedule, which can cause emotional instability and behavioral issues. Many parents find themselves overwhelmed trying to maintain structure alone.
  • Finding quality special education services:
    During summer, it’s tough to find certified professionals who understand special education needs. Brooklyn Letters bridges that gap with reliable, certified SEITs available throughout Westchester.
  • Keeping children engaged meaningfully:
    Summer can lead to increased screen time and decreased social interaction. We provide purposeful learning and play that keeps children growing mentally, socially, and emotionally.
  • Gaps in communication and social interaction:
    Children with speech and language delays often regress if they don’t have continued opportunities to communicate and practice social skills. Our SEITs embed communication-rich interactions into everyday summer activities.

Summer doesn’t have to be a struggle. With SEIT support, it can become a season of new milestones and developmental wins for your child—and peace of mind for you.

Why Choose Brooklyn Letters

Choosing the right partner for your child’s special education needs is critical—especially in the summer. Brooklyn Letters stands out for our deep experience, professional integrity, and whole-child approach that makes learning engaging and personalized.

Here are the reasons why families across Westchester trust us:

1. Expert SEIT Providers

Our SEITs are certified and have years of experience working with preschoolers across the developmental spectrum. They’re trained to deliver services that are engaging, individualized, and goal-oriented. This ensures that each session is not only productive but also fun and tailored to your child’s learning style.

2. We Come to You

Whether your child is at home, camp, daycare, or the park, our SEITs provide services right where you are. This naturalistic approach supports better generalization of skills and eliminates the stress of commuting. Your child gets help in the environments where they learn best.

3. Collaboration with CPSE Teams

We understand the CPSE process and collaborate with your district and IEP team to ensure seamless service delivery. Our team communicates clearly with schools and parents to keep goals aligned. You’ll never feel alone navigating paperwork or timelines.

4. Personalized, Play-Based Instruction

We use your child’s interests to guide learning. Whether it’s trains, dinosaurs, or kitchen pretend play, we embed developmental goals into activities your child loves. This keeps motivation high and learning natural.

5. Integrated with Related Services

Our SEITs often work in tandem with your child’s speech, OT, and behavior therapy providers. This team-based approach enhances consistency across services. It also boosts your child’s outcomes by reinforcing targeted strategies.

6. Deep Knowledge of Autism and Developmental Delays

Many of our professionals have specific training in autism interventions and early childhood delays. They use evidence-based methods like TEACCH, and social skills training. That means every strategy is rooted in proven science.

7. Consistent Communication with Families

We keep you in the loop with ongoing updates and coaching. You’ll understand what’s working, what needs adjustment, and how to support progress at home. Our SEITs are not just educators—they’re your parenting partners.

8. We’re Local and Responsive

Brooklyn Letters has been part of the New York community for over a decade. Our Westchester team is made up of local professionals who know the area and understand your community’s needs. When you need us, we’re nearby and ready to help.

When you choose Brooklyn Letters, you’re not just getting a SEIT—you’re getting a team dedicated to your child’s year-round success.

Why SEIT Services Matter in Summer 2025

Many children with IEPs qualify for Extended School Year (ESY) services because they are at risk for regression. But ESY often doesn’t cover the full summer, or it may lack the 1:1 attention your child truly needs to make meaningful gains.

Our SEITs fill that gap with individualized instruction that extends and enhances the services provided during the school year. Summer becomes a chance not just to maintain—but to grow, build, and succeed.

Key benefits of summer SEIT services include:

  • Preventing regression:
    Many children lose hard-earned skills during the summer. SEITs reinforce IEP goals through daily routines, functional play, and social interaction.
  • Building independence and confidence:
    SEITs help children practice life skills in real-world settings like the home or park. This builds confidence and transfers skills outside of traditional classrooms.
  • Supporting smoother transitions to fall:
    When children continue learning through the summer, the shift back to school is less disruptive. We help prepare your child academically, emotionally, and socially.

SEIT services during summer are more than a support system—they’re a bridge to continued growth, helping your child hit the ground running in the fall.

Who We Support

At Brooklyn Letters, we proudly serve a wide range of learners. Our mission is to support every child where they are—and help them reach their highest potential.

We specialize in working with:

  • Preschoolers ages 3–5 with IEPs:
    If your child is eligible for CPSE services, we can provide summer SEIT as part of their IEP. This ensures developmental gains continue through the summer.
  • Children with developmental delays or disabilities:
    From speech delays to autism to sensory processing challenges, our SEITs are trained to support a wide range of needs. Every session is personalized and aligned with therapeutic goals.
  • Families seeking 1:1 instruction and behavior support:
    We offer compassionate and consistent guidance in communication, play, academics, and self-regulation. Our SEITs are skilled at engaging young children using methods that feel like play—but teach like pros.

Every child deserves the chance to keep learning year-round. We’re here to help make that possible.

Specialty Areas of Expertise

We go beyond generic special education support by offering targeted strategies for specific challenges. This allows us to make meaningful progress even in a short summer window.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):
    We use structured teaching, visual supports, and behavior management tailored to each child’s sensory and social profile. Many of our SEITs have extensive ASD experience.
  • Language Delays and Disorders:
    Our SEITs embed language-rich instruction into everyday routines and play. We also collaborate with SLPs to reinforce speech goals, making language learning natural and engaging.
  • Social-Emotional Regulation:
    We teach children how to name their feelings, manage frustration, and play cooperatively. Social stories, modeling, and role-playing are all part of our toolkit.
  • School Readiness and Academics:
    Preparing for Pre-K or Kindergarten? We help with early literacy, number sense, and classroom behaviors. Your child will feel confident and capable when September arrives.
  • Behavioral Support and Self-Regulation:
    We address behavior proactively, using consistent reinforcement and visual supports. SEITs help children gain control, reducing outbursts and increasing participation.

Whatever your child’s needs, our expertise is here to help them grow in every area that matters most.

Techniques We Use

Our teaching isn’t just compassionate—it’s grounded in research and best practices from developmental psychology, special education, and behavior science.

  • Structured Teaching (TEACCH):
    Visual schedules and routines help children understand what’s expected. This promotes independence and reduces anxiety, especially for learners with ASD.
  • Social Stories and Role Play:
    We help children understand social rules and emotional expectations through customized narratives and pretend play. These tools build real-world confidence.
  • CPS (Collaborative and Proactive Solutions):
    We use this model to help children problem-solve collaboratively rather than rely on adult direction. It’s respectful, child-centered, and highly effective.
  • Multisensory Instruction:
    We tap into visual, auditory, and tactile learning styles so children stay engaged. This helps with memory, focus, and fun!

These techniques allow us to reach each child in the way they learn best—and make every summer session impactful.
