"It is an absolute pleasure for me to recommend Irene. She is an excellent speech-language pathologist as well as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced professional. Our son is bilingual and was experiencing language difficulties/delays at the age of 4.3. We talked to different pathologists, but no one gave us the full confidence to work with them, and also the fact she is bilingual and very related to both of our cultures, gave us the confidence to start working with her right away. Since the initial meeting, Irene was both very thorough and approachable to our son, so we could see that she was going to make a significant impact on his speech. Our son just turned 5 this month and he has made great strides in all his speech and language comprehension. Speech therapy with Irene has not only helped my son's communication, but she has also taught us as parents, methods that we can apply daily to improve his speech at home and the same to his preschool teachers. Irene creates a very fun, warm, and relaxed environment, she has a great connection with kids from the first moment that they are together, as in fact, our son is always excited to see and “play” with Irene. Her great teaching skills allow her to use any mood or behavior the child is exhibiting for learning and language. Her approach and techniques are amazing as she carefully assesses our son's strengths and weaknesses in order to craft the optimal program. All of this has allowed our son to learn in a quick, efficient, and engaging manner and helped him expand his knowledge and social skills."
