"Danika's therapy sessions have been tremendous in aiding my son to overcome his speech delays.  By incorporating play and interesting manipulatives into each session, Danika allows children to feel comfortable so that they converse naturally.  Her speech techniques and practice assignments are creatively tailored to each individual child's needs.  Danika's kindness, patience and compassion can reassure any reluctant speaker."

"When my son Dylan started speech therapy, he had a hard time being understood, even by family members.  When a group session with Danika opened up, I was eager to get him started.  Group therapy has been wonderful for Dylan - he feels comfortable with the other children and immediately bonded with Danika.  She has given Dylan the confidence with his speech that he once lacked.  He enjoys doing his speech homework because he knows it is helping him communicate better.

I recently bumped into someone I hadn't seen in a couple of years, and she said, "Dylan speaks really well."  Our family is very grateful to Danika for everything she has done for Dylan.  It's certainly changed his life."

"Even though it has been 5 years since Danika helped our 2 year old son work through his speech delay, we still remember her friendly and kind manner, the way she helped him open up around other children and adults, and especially her unique incorporation of music, tactile play, and everyday conversation into the children's work.  We even hear her lessons in the way we help our younger son pronounce his words.  We can't recommend her highly enough as a professional who understands young children's communicative abilities and needs."
