  • Tala is hands down the best speech therapist we have worked with for children. My daughter ran in to every session with Tala with a smile on her face and didn’t want to leave. The progress Tala and my daughter made session-to-session was remarkable, and Tala made the “work” fun with every sort of game and contest one can imagine. I cannot say enough good things about Tala or the impact she has on my daughter’s confidence and ability.

    Katie B., Rowayton, CT

  • My daughter was 18 months old when she started with Tala and usually has a hard time transitioning with new people. Tala's energetic, happy disposition had my daughter warming up to her immediately. Tala is amazing at engaging my daughter in "hidden therapy" through play and music. She is very knowledgeable about the various issues concerning speech and is one of the few therapists around that is able to provide PROMPT therapy for my daughter who struggles with the motor planning of speech. My daughter has slowly but surely made progress with Tala's help and Tala has remained patient and invested in her throughout this past year and a half. Tala has always been available to provide feedback on my daughter's progress and regularly gives suggestions on how we can incorporate therapies at home. I would definitely recommend Tala to any parent who has concerns about their child's speech.

  • Our daughter has benefited significantly from her sessions with Anne. We’ve seen improvement in her speech, reading, and general awareness of sounds and letters she has been focusing on. In a relatively short period of time, Anne has developed a relationship of trust with our daughter, who looks forward to and genuinely enjoys her sessions. Anne is also responsive and professional – a pleasure to work with!

  • Tala was an amazing speech therapist for our son. He had articulation issues and she worked with him to help him learn how to properly articulate his words. She is so patient, kind, creative & made speech fun! Joe always looked forward to seeing Tala each week! He would run into her office, excited for whatever lesson she had planned for him. She gave us great feedback and allowed us to be an active part in helping him with his speech. I would highly recommend Tala to anyone whose child needs speech therapy. She is professional, accountable & very dedicated to her work. We are so grateful that we found Tala and that she was able to make such a lasting impression on our son & our family!

  • My family has had an incredible experience with Stephanie at HTP. My son is autistic and nonverbal, and Stephanie has worked with him for the past two years. She is incredibly patient, compassionate, and creative in the way she teaches him to communicate. Stephanie is also extremely knowledgeable about AAC devices, and thanks to her guidance, my son has made tremendous progress with his communication. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family. She is truly an exceptional speech therapist.

    Dana Johnson, Greenwich, CT Parent

  • I stumbled across Tala's information one day on Facebook. I had been grappling with our son's speech delay for some time and wasn't sure what to do. At the time, he had just turned 2 and was barely saying more than a handful of words. It made communicating with him extremely difficult, and he would get frustrated that people couldn't understand what he wanted. I was desperate to help him verbalize more, and thankfully, that is where Tala came in. In just a few months, even after the first few sessions, my son's speech grew exponentially. It really is like night and day. He is able to communicate not just with us, but our family, and seems so much happier. Even my parents noticed he's engaging more and has a bigger smile on his face when playing with his cousins. Tala's patience and demeanor with Ollie keeps him engaged (which is extremely hard to do with a 2 year old over Zoom) and he is always asks to "Talk Tala" whenever he sees my computer around. She has also given us so many pointers of how to help him develop his words and sentences in between sessions. Ollie LOVES his time with her, and we could not be more thankful for all she has done for our family. i could not recommend her more to anyone looking to boost their child's verbal skills and then some!

    Jenn B., White Plains, NY

  • My husband and I have been thrilled with the tools and skills we learned during our time working with Tala. We both now have a framework for how to best communicate with our daughter to foster more speaking and she's really improved in such a short time. Tala is patient and enthusiastic and has been a pleasure to work with from day one. We're so grateful for our time with her.

    Elysse H., White Plains, NY

  • Our daughter is so lucky to have Anne working with her! Anne has supported her to build her vocabulary and also her multi-word sentences all while encouraging her with patience and kindness! Our daughter runs right in to her session with such enthusiasm because she is met with Anne’s warm welcome. Anne communicates our daughter’s progress and offers suggestions clearly which only strengthens our partnership. I recommend Anne to any family looking for speech support for their child!

  • I cannot say enough good things about Tala's speech therapy. She is knowledgeable, talented, innovative, persistent, engaging, and creative. Our son went from being a nearly non-verbal two year old to happily telling stories in one year. Now that people understand him when he talks, his confidence has improved so much that we kept speech therapy going even after he hit his developmental benchmarks. Being able to communicate has quite literally changed his life and we owe it all to Tala. She has a gift for identifying kids' needs and interests and utilizing them in sessions. Every week Tala adapted to whatever would engage my kids and kept them glued to the zoom screen, learning and practicing. My son loved "Tuesdays with Tala" so much that my daughter was always jealous and insisted on joining. Of course, Tala didn't miss a beat and worked with both of my young toddlers simultaneously. She kept them so engaged that I didn't have to participate or redirect them except on rare occasion. Even on their worst days, Tala had unfailing patience and found ways to keep them working. In between sessions, Tala gave us tips and exercises to work on throughout the week so that our son's speech would continue to grow. He would happily practice his "big boy sounds" in anticipation of his sessions with Tala. In fact, what my kids learned in speech therapy goes far beyond language skills and word pronunciation-- Tala taught my kids about delayed gratification, working hard towards a long-term goal, persistence, sharing, taking turns, and (obviously) communicating their wants and needs. Sessions with Tala are absolutely invaluable.

    Darien, CT Parent

  • Tala worked with my twins for nearly a year through the Early Intervention Toddler Development Group at the Alcott School, starting when they were almost 2 Y/O. She was not the first speech therapist we had worked with, but she was by far the best and most impactful. Through her calm, engaging and nurturing demeanor, Tala was able to immediately build a rapport with both my son and daughter, which was key. Not only were my twins taken by her, but so was my whole family. She was extremely communicative with us by providing daily progress updates, as well as guidance on how to practice the speech techniques she was using in the classroom at home. When our twins first met Tala, my son was non-verbal and my daughter had a very limited vocabulary. However, I can now proudly say that I am the parent of two toddler chatterboxes! They are both able to clearly and purposefully articulate their wants and needs, which was the biggest goal we set out to achieve with Tala. We are forever grateful to her and all of her dedicated efforts.

    Lauren C., White Plains, NY

  • My husband & I (first time parents) were having difficulty finding the right help for our 3 year old son who was diagnosed with a speech delay. We were thrilled when we finally found Tala. Upon meeting we had no doubt she was thoroughly knowledgeable about her field. She very receptive to our concerns and questions and most notably she has the right temperament. Our son adores her and still talks about her. We knew instantly that our child was in good hands but we could not have anticipated his growth & progress - he just took off and never looked back. We feel Tala is largely responsible for setting our child on this path and we are very grateful for all her help. His new teacher has only great things to say about how well he communicates.
