“We were given Cindy’s name when we were in the NICU with our daughter, Lauryn, who was born with Down Syndrome, in 2010. We saw Cindy several times in Lauryn’s first year- Cindy was SO helpful and supportive in helping us navigate what was best for Lauryn’s development in those early months. When Lauryn phased out of First Steps, we chose to continue our work with Cindy, even though we live on the South side of Indianapolis. There have been. Times when our drive to or from SPS has taken us longer than Lauryn’s weekly speech session, but it is SO worth it. Cindy has been infinitely instrumental in Lauryn’s overall growth and progress. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and has vast experience in working with individuals of all ages with Down Syndrome. She has been a huge mentor and resource for me as we navigate Lauryn’s school journey. SPS/Cindy looks at the whole speech and language picture. Lauryn’s growth goes way beyond what many think is involved in “speech therapy” (ex: articulation). The focus on language, communication, and literacy has helped Lauryn succeed beyond our initial hopes. On top of that, Lauryn adores her. Cindy is so caring and nurturing and has high expectations for Lauryn and all of her clients. She is a true blessing in our lives, and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for speech and language therapy!”
