    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.

What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals improve their communication skills. It focuses on enhancing children’s ability to speak clearly and effectively, addressing issues such as pronunciation, fluency, and voice quality. Therapists use various strategies to correct or improve speech-related difficulties.

In pediatric voice therapy, the focus is on helping children who experience issues with their vocal cords, pitch, or tone. Children struggling with voice disorders—such as hoarseness or a strained voice—can benefit from therapeutic techniques that teach them how to use their voice properly. For kids with more severe issues, like vocal cord nodules, vocal cord therapy can reduce the strain and help them recover their voice.

Who Needs Speech Therapy?

Children who experience difficulties with their speech or voice may benefit from speech therapy. Here are a few signs your child may need therapy:

  1. Difficulty Articulating Words: If your child struggles to pronounce words or syllables.
  2. Chronic Hoarseness: Persistent hoarseness can be a sign of vocal strain, often treatable with voice therapy for hoarseness.
  3. Delayed Speech Development: If your child is behind in developing speech milestones for their age.
  4. Voice Disorders: Conditions like vocal cord nodules can cause long-term voice issues if left untreated.
  5. Stuttering or Speech Blocks: Problems with fluency or speech rhythm may indicate the need for intervention.
  6. Social or Academic Difficulties: Children who struggle to communicate may face social challenges or underperform in school.

Voice therapy for speech disorders provides children with these signs with the tools they need to communicate more effectively.

Why Choose Brooklyn Letters?

  1. At-Home and Remote Services: Convenience is key. Brooklyn Letters brings therapy to your home, providing in-person services or remote sessions based on your child’s needs. This approach ensures children are comfortable in their own environment, making therapy more effective.
  2. Personalized Treatment Plans: Every child’s voice disorder is unique. We offer individualized voice therapy programs tailored to specific needs, whether vocal cord therapy or voice therapy techniques for vocal nodules.
  3. Highly Qualified Experts: The professionals we work with comprises experienced speech-language pathologists specializing in pediatric voice therapy. They use the latest research and techniques to deliver results.
  4. Comprehensive Assessments: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your child’s voice and speech abilities. This allows us to identify voice disorders or underlying problems such as hoarseness, vocal nodules, or other voice issues. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
  5. Proven Success Rates: Brooklyn Letters has successfully helped many children overcome voice disorders. Our methods focus on fixing the current problem and preventing future issues through proper vocal care.
  6. Family-Centered Approach: We involve parents in the therapy process, teaching them vocal therapy exercises and techniques that can be practiced at home to accelerate progress. By making parents active participants, we ensure long-lasting results.
  7. Incorporating Fun Activities and Games: We understand children learn best when having fun. Our sessions are designed to be engaging, using interactive games and activities that make voice therapy techniques enjoyable and easier to grasp. Blending therapy with play creates a positive learning environment that motivates kids to participate fully.

TESTIMONIALS

We are very satisfied and would recommend Caroline without reservation
I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work Caroline has done with our son Gabe. Gabe entered speech therapy with a moderate but worsening stutter, and it has fully resolved after less than 3 months of therapy. Gabe absolutely loved Caroline; she was playful and fun, and I don't think that Gabe ever realized that she was there to treat him for an impairment. Because it was really a treat for Gabe to spend time with Caroline, he was able to fully engage in the exercises without self-consciousness or resistance, and therefore receive the maximum benefit.
Many thanks!
Sincerely,

Gabe's parents, Annee and David

This review cannot express the extreme amount of gratitude that my family has toward Craig
When we first found Craig, our son's vocabulary was vast, however, his articulation needed lots of help. My son is now speaking in sentences and is able to articulate his thoughts. Also when he turned five years old, I was totally at a loss of how to proceed with his education. Craig provided us with an abundance of his resources and placed us on the right track. He truly cares about your child's progress. I highly recommend him as an SLP.

Latoya, mom of Tristian

Craig has yielded amazing results
Craig started working with Larson when he was 3 years old. Larson was severely speech delayed and unintelligible. Now at the age of six, Larson has made great progress. He still has language-processing problems, but now he speaks very clearly and speaks in full and complex sentences, and was accepted into the school that we were hoping for. I have such faith in Craig’s abilities that he now works with my two-year-old, Finn, who is also showing signs of speech/language delay. Little Finn lights up every time Craig arrives.

Laura, mom of Larson and Finn

We are Very Lucky
Our son, Logan, has been working with Cathy for just over a year now. Logan's twin sister, Audrey, has had the pleasure of Cathy’s care a slightly shorter time than that. Through the last year, we have noticed a definite improvement in all areas of the twin’s communication skills including verbal comprehensibility, aural comprehension, and overall learning skills including reading. Some of this can be marked back to inherent developmental growth and change in schools, but a large part we believe to be due to Cathy's good work. The twins worked with another SLP for years and, although a wonderful person and therapist in her own right, her play-based approach often made improvement in the kids hard to gauge. Cathy's approach is much more traditionally pedagogic and started with her conducting many diagnostic tests to get a clearer baseline to read/picture of the kid's abilities and issues. From there, she developed a very well-reasoned course of therapy for both Audrey and Logan and they continue to benefit from Cathy's skills and experience. Beyond her obvious professional expertise, Cathy has proven to be a kind and caring therapist and has extended herself when asked to participate in team meetings with our son's school. Cathy has also referred us most recently to an OT that we are beyond happy with, further proving her commitment to the overall well-being of her students.
In summary, we consider ourselves very lucky to be working with an SLP of Cathy's professional expertise and personal quality

Progress can only be made when therapy is put into context
My son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 18 months, with a significant delay in expressive language. Craig has been an invaluable part of my son’s therapeutic team since my son's diagnosis 5 months ago. Craig is very knowledgeable in his discipline, taking care to stay current with the latest research and evidence versus fads. He is very patient in his sessions and is skilled at engaging children so that they are challenged but not overwhelmed. Craig approaches speech therapy with the family in mind. Craig consistently engaged me in my son’s speech sessions, explaining how to specifically target underlying issues associated with Autism that impede communication (such as joint attention, eye contact, social reciprocity). He also showed me creative strategies to engage my son to encourage communication, such as following my son’s lead and interests, playful obstruction, modeling sounds with actions, and adding tactile aspects to communication. This allowed me to carry over his recommendations at home. The most important lesson that I learned from Craig is that therapeutic approaches for children on the spectrum do not exist separate from the lives of the children themselves progress can only be made when therapy is put into context. I learned how to embed opportunities for communication in ways that didn’t feel forced or unnatural, which allowed me to always be a mom to my son first. What a joy it is to hear our son's beautiful voice!

Where Do We Begin? At-Home and Remote Assessment

Where Do We Begin? At-Home and Remote Assessment

We offer flexible options for conducting assessments, whether at your home or through remote consultations.

During the assessment, the therapists we work with carefully evaluate your child’s vocal quality, pitch, tone, and breathing patterns. This thorough evaluation helps diagnose specific conditions like vocal nodules or hoarseness. The information gathered allows us to design a tailored treatment plan, focusing on the most appropriate voice therapy techniques for your child’s unique needs.

Types of Voice and Speech Disorders

Types of Voice and Speech Disorders

Children can face various voice and speech disorders, each requiring a specific approach. Some of the most common voice-related disorders in children include:

  • Vocal Nodules: Small, benign growths on the vocal cords that form from overuse or strain, causing hoarseness and difficulty speaking.
  • Hoarseness: A rough, strained voice often resulting from vocal cord damage or misuse.
  • Resonance Disorders: Issues that cause an abnormal voice sound, often due to structural issues like a cleft palate.
  • Laryngeal Disorders: Problems affecting the larynx (voice box), leading to a weak or breathy voice.

Recognizing these disorders early on is crucial for effective treatment. The right voice therapy techniques can restore vocal health and improve speech clarity.

Types of Voice Therapy and Voice Therapy Exercises for Kids

At Brooklyn Letters, we use various voice therapy techniques to address each child’s needs. Some common approaches include:

  • Resonance Exercises: These exercises help children learn to produce sound most efficiently, improving voice quality and reducing strain.
  • Breathing Exercises: Proper breath control is essential for voice production. Children are taught to use diaphragmatic breathing techniques to support their voice, especially during speech.
  • Pitch and Volume Control: These exercises help children learn to control the pitch and volume of their voice, preventing further vocal strain.
  • Speech Therapy Voice Exercises: Focus on improving speech clarity while strengthening the muscles involved in speech production.

These exercises for voice therapy are an essential part of any voice therapy program and are designed to be practiced in therapy sessions and at home.

Voice Therapy for Hoarseness: Causes and Solutions

Voice Therapy for Hoarseness: Causes and Solutions

Hoarseness in children can be caused by overuse, improper voice techniques, or health issues like respiratory infections. Long-term hoarseness can indicate a more serious underlying problem, such as vocal nodules or vocal cord damage.

Voice therapy for hoarseness focuses on reducing vocal strain by teaching children how to use their voices properly. Our licensed professionals may introduce vocal cord therapy exercises to reduce swelling or irritation in the vocal cords. Additionally, vocal therapy exercises can help strengthen the voice, ensuring your child speaks clearly without straining their vocal cords.

How Vocal Nodules Affect Children’s Voices

How Vocal Nodules Affect Children’s Voices

Vocal nodules form on the vocal cords due to excessive strain, particularly in children who frequently raise their voices or use improper vocal techniques. These nodules can cause long-term voice problems, including hoarseness, fatigue, and vocal discomfort.

Voice therapy techniques for vocal nodules focus on teaching children how to use their voices more effectively. Exercises emphasize proper breathing, resonance, and pitch control, helping the nodules heal while preventing their recurrence.

Creating a Customized Voice Therapy Program

Creating a Customized Voice Therapy Program

No two children are the same, and neither are their voice disorders. Each child receives a customized voice therapy program at Brooklyn Letters tailored to their specific needs.

These programs may include a combination of:

  • Breathing and Resonance Exercises: To improve vocal health.
  • Vocal Hygiene Education: To teach children how to care for their voice.
  • Voice Therapy Techniques: Designed to target specific issues, such as vocal cord nodules or chronic hoarseness.
  • Daily Vocal Exercises: Children can do simple activities at home to reinforce the therapy and speed up recovery.

Progress is closely monitored with regular follow-ups to adjust the program as needed, ensuring your child reaches their speech and voice goals.

Common Myths About Pediatric Voice Therapy

Common Myths About Pediatric Voice Therapy

voice therapy for kids 3

Myth: Children will outgrow voice problems.

Reality: Many voice problems can persist or worsen without intervention. Early vocal cord therapy is crucial to prevent long-term damage.

Myth: Voice therapy is only for adults.

Reality: Children’s voices are developing and often require therapeutic intervention. Voice therapy for kids addresses the unique needs of growing vocal cords.

Myth: Voice therapy is only for singers or performers.

Reality: While singers benefit from voice therapy techniques, children with any kind of vocal strain or disorder need therapy to maintain healthy speech.

How You Can Help at Home

Parents play a vital role in reinforcing voice therapy exercises. By practicing the techniques taught during therapy sessions, you can help your child progress faster. 

Here’s how you can support your child’s therapy:

  • Encourage them to perform their exercises for voice therapy daily.
  • Teach them the importance of vocal hygiene (like staying hydrated and avoiding shouting).
  • Practice breathing techniques together, making it fun using games or activities to engage them.

Your involvement strengthens the therapy results and builds your child’s confidence in using their voice.
