Mama of L says…

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.
