My twin boys started seeing Ruth when they were 2. At that point they only a handful of words and sounds. A year later, they were both speaking at age level! They both loved spending time with Ruth, thinking it was extra play time, not a "doctors" visit. Ruth is patient, kind and gets down to their level. She had a ton of games and exercises for them to keep them engaged. As a parent, I appreciated Ruth's extensive experience in the field, in particular that she teaches other speech therapists. She has seen it all! She also made my life easier by coordinating with the preschool administration and teachers on scheduling and making sure they knew how to compliment her work in the classroom. I highly recommend Ruth!

I highly recommend Ruth for speech therapy! She did an incredible job helping my son pronounce his r's properly. She made it fun (through a variety of standard and new tools) and easy for him to want to work on it both during his sessions and every day. He always looked forward to his sessions with her. He very quickly advanced and is now almost 100% proficient. I would refer her to anyone who needs any level of speech assistance!

Our now 5 year old has been working with Ruth since he was diagnosed with speech delay, for the past 2 years. When our little one started, he was barley saying single words and what he did say was hard to understand. Our little one quickly warmed up to 'teacher Ruth' and now looks forward to seeing her. Now he speaks in full sentences and retelling stories. Ruth is now incorporating social skills into her work with our little one. Ruth has coached us on how to expand and encourage his language development and always spends time after the session going over what was covered and giving us suggestions on to do with the little one at home. Now Ruth is encouraging our little one to begin to tell us what the little one did during the session. This would have been unimaginable when we started 2 years ago. We are so grateful to Ruth for her caring manner and expertise and ability to engage our little one in a fun way so that our little one looks forward to the next session with Ruth.

I went to Ruth to get help with my speech rate - I'm a fast talker and sometimes people have trouble understanding me.

Ruth was able to help me understand how my speech sounds to other people, by natural conversation, reading articles, and listening to my own recorded voice.
She also helped me with me pitch, speech, intonation, and stumbling over specific sounds (I never knew there was a named sound called a 'schwa'.)

Ruth is very flexible with appointment times and is totally willing to do over-the-phone or Skype sessions. Highly recommended!
