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.
-
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.

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.
-
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!
-
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. -
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 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.
-
Theo was wonderful and his work with my son has produced some progress. I am grateful for the services Theo provided.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Isabel was WONDERFUL and our son absolutely adored her, and he is making great progress with his reading and writing.
-
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!
-
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.

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
-
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.
-
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!
-
Vera was amazing! My 11 yo daughter made progress so quickly and really looked forward to her sessions. She was kept motivated and engaged.
-
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."

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.
-
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!

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.

Voice therapy can help improve communication in a variety of ways. It is designed to help individuals learn how to control their vocal pitch, volume, and tone and to understand the impact of their speech better. People with speech problems may benefit from voice therapy NYC, as it can help them improve their pronunciation, increase their vocal range, and gain better control over their vocal muscles.
Additionally, voice therapy NYC can help individuals find their unique voice and develop their ability to communicate effectively. Voice Therapy NYC can also help individuals with speech disorders like stuttering, lisping, and vocal nodules. Working with a speech language therapist allows individuals to express themselves better, improve their confidence, and gain the skills necessary to communicate effectively.
What is Voice Therapy?
Voice therapy is designed to help individuals improve the quality and clarity of their voice. It is commonly used to treat a variety of voice disorders, including dysphonia, vocal nodules, and vocal polyps. Voice therapy can also be used to address issues related to pitch, volume, enunciation, and articulation.
Our voice therapy NYC is provided by qualified speech-language pathologists who specialize in helping clients improve their vocal health and performance. With the help of a speech-language pathologist, clients can learn to improve the quality of their speech and communication through exercises, breath support, and vocal hygiene techniques. Additionally, voice therapy can help clients develop better speaking habits and improve their overall vocal health.
Voice Disorders
Voice disorders impair a person’s ability to produce sound. These disorders can be caused by medical conditions, such as stroke or vocal cord paralysis, or by vocal abuse or misuse, such as straining the voice or frequently shouting. Voice therapy can be a great way to help treat these conditions. Through techniques such as vocal exercises, relaxation techniques, and vocal hygiene education, a speech language therapist can help people with voice disorders restore their natural vocal abilities.
In addition, voice therapy can help people with voice disorders speak more clearly, achieve a stronger vocal range, and increase their vocal power. Voice therapy can also help people manage their symptoms and reduce the strain on their vocal cords.
Signs and Symptoms of Voice Disorders
Voice disorders can be a symptom of a larger medical condition, such as cancer, laryngeal paralysis, or Parkinson’s Disease, or may be caused by vocal strain from activities such as singing or public speaking. Common signs and symptoms of voice disorders include hoarseness, breathiness, and vocal fatigue. People with voice disorders may also experience pain or discomfort when speaking, as well as difficulty producing certain sounds, pitch problems, and difficulty controlling the volume of their voice. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consulting with a speech-language pathologist is important to determine if voice therapy is the right course of action.
Who Needs Voice Therapy?
Voice therapy is beneficial for those with various conditions, such as vocal nodules, vocal cord paralysis, vocal cord dysfunction, vocal cord polyps, voice strain, and voice loss. It can also benefit those who suffer from speech impairments, such as stuttering, lisps, and apraxia of speech.
Additionally, those with a weak, breathy, or hoarse voice and those who have difficulty speaking for long periods may benefit from voice therapy. Voice therapy can also benefit those recovering from surgery, injury, or trauma of the throat and neck area. Lastly, it can benefit those who wish to improve their singing voice.
What to Expect from Voice Therapy?
During voice therapy sessions, a speech-language pathologist will work with individuals to recognize their vocal limitations and develop strategies to overcome them. The therapist will help the individual identify and practice strategies to control their voice, from breath support and articulation to resonance and pitch.
Voice therapy may involve relaxation techniques, vocal exercises, and other vocal hygiene practices. With the help of a speech-language pathologist, individuals can expect to experience improvements in their vocal quality, volume, and pitch. Voice therapy can provide individuals with improved confidence, enhanced communication skills, and a sense of control over their voices.
What Does an SLP Do in Voice Therapy?
Voice therapy is often used to treat people with conditions such as vocal cord paralysis, vocal fold nodules, vocal cord dysfunction, vocal fold scarring, and more. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) trained in voice therapy can evaluate a patient’s vocal quality, pitch, resonance, and loudness, as well as their vocal range, endurance, and vocal health. SLPs can also provide exercises to help patients improve their vocal technique and address any resonance, pitch, loudness, and vocal range issues. They can also provide education about vocal hygiene and recommend lifestyle changes to help improve vocal health.
Through voice therapy, SLPs can help patients restore and improve their voice quality, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life.
