  • Questions about your child's Language Development

    Is your child NOT talking OR Language Delayed?

    Does communication always seems fraught with frustration?

    Do you work full time/have other children taking up your time/ energy?

  • Be EMPOWERED to help your child

    Connect with your child in a way you never thought possible, a way that transforms your relationship and ignites their communication skills and confidence!

    Support their speech and language growth with research backed, best practice strategies

  • What if your child isn't even saying words yet

    Pre-linguistic (pre-verbal) skills are directly correlated to later language and reading skills. What is your child’s style of communication and how is your parenting style impacting the interaction?

    This pre-linguistic checklist will give you some ideas.

What families and professionals are saying about us:

  • “We are so thankful for Ms. Marisa. Her warm, patient, and fun demeanor helped my daughter to quickly feel comfortable with her. She looked forward to seeing Ms. Marisa every week, as she comes up with so many games, activities, and crafts to make learning to speak fun! I learned so much from observing their sessions and asking Ms. Marisa questions, and was able to change the way I talked to my daughter to be much more effective. I am beyond grateful to say that with Ms. Marisa's help, my daughter's expressive speech delay is now fully caught up!”

    ~Moira H

  • Working with Marisa has truly been life-changing. When she started with my son, he had a few sounds. Within the next 6-8 months our son started talking and we saw a miracle. We never knew if he would start talking since he was six years old and maybe had one sound that we could call a word.

    I would highly recommend any family work with Marisa and then see the miracles that follow.

    ~Brittany

  • “When my son was about a year and a half we were connected with Marisa . She was so patient, interactive and loving. She went above and beyond giving us at home strategies and activities to do with him and even following up after. Having a conversation with my son and understanding what he has to say is a wonderful gift for both of us. We are grateful for Marisa and all efforts made to grow my son’s speech.”

    ~Rebeca M

  • “I worked with Marisa years ago. She was truly one of the most gifted, knowledgeable, and devoted speech therapists I’ve ever worked with. If you or someone you know, is wondering why their little one is less verbal than they should be, or you already have a diagnosis I highly recommend signing up for this!!!”
