Client Testimonial

We were very fortunate to have had Mrs Harden as a speech therapist for our son. She arrived with a plan for achieving, bringing innovative and creative strategies that were not only interesting for Henry, but fun. Each session built on the next, focusing on areas of his verbal development and sound awareness that were most in need of work. We saw immediate improvement in an amazingly short time. She is extremely patient, compassionate and focused; her work and efforts have paid high dividends in our son’s verbal development. We highly recommend her for others with similar needs.

About Speech Therapy...


Speech-language pathologist (SLPs), who are often informally known as speech therapists, are professionals educated in the study of human communication, its development, and its disorders.  They hold at least a master’s degree and state certification/licensure in the field, as well as a certificate of clinical competency from the American Speech-Hearing-Association.

By assessing the speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing skills of children and adults, speech-language pathologists can determine what types of communication problems exist and the best way to treat these challenges.

Speech-language pathologists typically treat problems in the areas of articulation; receptive and expressive language; dysfluency; oral-motor, speech, and voice; and swallowing disorders.  

Speech-language therapy involves having a speech-language specialist work with a child or adult on a one-to-one or small group basis to overcome difficulties involved with a specific disorder using a variety of research based therapeutic interventions or strategies.
