"My daughter has had speech problems all her life. She has had speech in school for years. She has had more success with Talktime Speech Therapy in the past 2 years due to the attention to details of her specific problems. She doesn't like to miss class to get therapy in school, so the outpatient setting at Talktime is much more conducive to her needs." - Cathy V.
"My 5 yr old son Mason has been a patient at Talktime since he was 2.5 years. Alison is our speech therapist and Im not sure where we would all be today without her! From his very first visit, she can accomplish things with him, that no one could. He went from only speaking a few words and not combining sentences to being able to carry on a conversation. He was very hard to understand and with the treatment plan she developed for him, I have close family and friends comment on how much more intelligible he is. It has made such an improvement on his interactions with everyone, he doesn't have to struggle to have people and friends understand his speech. It is such a relief as a Mom to know he will continue to improve and to see how much easier his life is!
She meets with me after every appt and goes over his progress with me. Alison has always been amazing with him, extremely patient and understanding. If her schedule needs to change, she always gives me plenty of notice and the same if my schedule changes, she makes the necessary changes. My son LOVES her and so do we!!
When Talktime made the addition of an Occupational Therapist, we were very excited. Shannon has been fantastic with Mason and he loves going to see her. She has also been able to get him to do things that no one else ever could. What some may think is a simple normal thing to do may be very difficult for Mason, like writing his own name, but Shannon was the one who helped him do it
Overall, I am very impressed with Talktime. I have referred other mothers who are in need of different therapies, I am sure they will receive the same excellent care that we have!" - Wendy C.
"In one year of speech therapy, Sarah went for speaking and pronouncing few words to speaking in full sentences. She is very talkative now, and able to express herself intelligibly. It is such a joy to see her communicate and interact with her peers.
The staff at Talktime has been friendly and helpful since day one. From Andrea, her therapist, who built a great relationship with Sarah, to Amber in the front office handling any insurance issue. We could not thank them enough!" - Saliha L.
"We have twin four year old boys, William and James. They would say a few things at home, but not at preschool or elsewhere. At preschool, we were told they would only need speech. We took them for a screening at preschool, and had to wait before they could start. During that time we decided to start a second speech therapy to help the boys start speaking outside of home. Amber helped us with our insurance issues a lot. They started at Talktime a month later. James started speaking right away, and now they are both speaking more clearly. The boys love coming and run right inside. At home, they talk about what they're working on in speech. It is amazing how much progress they've made due to Talktime. It is great watching them interact with others in a whole new way!" -Carla S.
"We have been clients of Talktime since it opened in 2007. My daughter has a hearing loss which delayed her speech and language development. As my daughter got older, she was also having difficulty learning to read. After our evaluation at Talktime, our therapist, Amy, designed a plan to help my daughter with her speech, language, and reading skills. I was also able to take the information from Talktime to our school and my daughter was then able to receive learning support as well.
When my oldest son began to learn to read, he seemed to be showing the same difficulties as my daughter did. Testing with Talktime showed similar difficulties in speech, language and reading. Since being discharged from Talktime, he does well in reading and language arts in school.
Through an evaluation at Talktime, my youngest son was suspected of having vocal nodules. Talktime referred my son to an ENT where it was confirmed that he did indeed have vocal nodules. Because this was identified early, voice training at Talktime kept him from needing surgery!
When Talktime added on occupational therapist, I had my youngest son tested. He worked with the occupational therapist for just 12 short weeks and made tremendous progress!
Throughout the years, we have seen many therapists and I have always been pleased with the level of professionalism. My children have truly benefited from their sessions at Talktime. I have only praise for Mrs. Shope and her staff. I have and will continue to recommend their services!" - Nancy H.
