Colleen at Soar Speech and Consulting has been working with our daughter for many months and we couldn't; be happier with Colleen, her techniques and the progress being made by our daughter. Our daughter had regressed quite a bit when she was no longer eligible for speech services. Therefore, we now pay out-of-pocket for speech services and it has been worth every penny. Colleen is working to get our daughter back to her former level of communication and especially on her speaking clearly so others can understand her. We've seen steady progress, which is very encouraging. Colleen incorporates a unique method of whole body integration into the speech process that uses certain stretches, calming techniques, including body pressure points for calming the nervous system that my daughter can do on her own. She has homework in order to practice and benefit from these techniques at home, but the homework isn't so intense or time consuming that it becomes a burden. It really works! Colleen is well versed on the many issues that can affect speech; even sensory integration issues. Many speech pathologists we've come across don't fully understand and therefore don't use the sensory integration methods. Those particular movements are very beneficial in opening our daughter up to talking and they "get her going". Finding someone who is well versed in so many techniques has been a real find! Colleen is fantastic about parent communication, always keeps us Informed and is available for progress report meetings. We very highly recommend Colleen at Soar Speech and Consulting!
