Review of The Speech and Language Connec...

My son has been going to SLC for about a year now ...

My son has been going to SLC for about a year now and sees Kristen L. We walked in with a confirmed ASD diagnosis right after my son's second birthday. He had about 4 words in his voluntary vocabulary, didn't point, had little eye contact and didn't call most of the family by name (though he parroted everything). In addition to not having much expressive language, it was clear to us he was just as behind on receptive language (understanding what WE said) as well.

His third birthday is in two weeks and he's made huge progress. He calls everyone (including Kristen) by their names when he sees them. He not only has a ton of new single words, but he's stringing together phrases of 3 and 4 words on a fairly regular basis now. His eye contact is MUCH better. He will ask for what he wants, points and picks up new words as we teach them to him on a much easier basis now.

And he LOVES going. He will quickly run to the door when asked if he wants to go and play with Kristen.

We knew how important it was to choose a great speech therapist and a year later, I know we chose well. I highly recommend them!
