Shayna did an amazing job with my daughter. When I first brought her to Shayna, she wasn’t speaking at all, fast forward 6 months and she was ahead by a year. She always loved going to see Shayna and it’s a super friendly environment. Best in the business!

Shayna from Toddler Talk Speech Therapy worked quickly, kindly and productively with my seven-year-old son to correct some developmental speech challenges. He loved the sessions and participated with enthusiasm thanks to Shayna's expertise, communication and understanding of child development as a whole. We saw results quickly that have had lasting impact on his speech. We cannot recommend her enough.

My son saw Shayna for speech therapy when he was between 2 and 3 years old. He was mostly non-verbal when he first started, but within months of seeing Shayna was saying 2-3 words in combination. When we went in for the initial evaluation, my son challenged Shayna because he didn't want to do what she was asking, but she was completely confident that she could handle him. And she did! By the third visit he was bounding in to see her. His behavior throughout therapy in general could be inconsistent but he ALWAYS loved going to see Shayna and even remembers her now, at 6 years old. If we lived anywhere near Boulder, we would still be taking him to see her. I largely credit Shayna for my son being verbal, for getting him over whatever developmental barrier was keeping him from using words for effective communication.

Our daughter, L., was 2.5 years old when we first met Shayna and had been being treated for the previous 6 months for a speech delay. With little improvement during those 6 months, along with other key indicators, the speech pathologist seeing L. started to suspect that she had Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Because Apraxia is a motor planning disorder, it was crucial that we find someone with specialized training in how to treat this rare speech disorder. We were incredibly lucky to find Shayna, who had specific training in how to treat Apraxia. It was through Shayna that we found a treatment plan and a path forward. After months of stalled progress, L. blossomed during her sessions with Shayna. We can't begin to convey the immense gratitude we have for finding Shayna and for the work she did with L. We are forever grateful to Shayna for understanding how to treat our daughter, for unwaveringly starting her post-session summary with positive words, and for giving L. the gift of speech.

We thank our lucky stars for Shayna. We found her when our daughter Alice was 2.5 years old and first diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, having very little language and only a few reliable sounds. Shayna got to work, seeing her 3-4 times per week and three years later, Alice no longer meets criteria for the diagnosis. Shayna knows just the right balance between patience and pushing, she employs her advanced training and skills to know how to systematically and methodically approach the acquisition of letters, blends, and ultimately sentence structure. As parents, we always felt incredibly supported by Shayna. She advised us on what we could do to carry over language development into the home. She helped us think about Alice's school plan, conducted routine testing that informed her sessions, and collaborated with Alice's school team to share her knowledge and insights. It just doesn't get better than Shayna when it comes to finding a warm-hearted, child and parent-friendly, most capable, and competent professional. Now that Alice is without question living her fullest, happiest, and most communicative life, we look back on the work that Shayna did as being the key to most, if not all, of that.
