Annika Knopfmeier – Office Assistant/Intern

“Our son has not only improved in his speech and articulation, but in his self-confidence. He isn’t nervous speaking in front of others or worried that they won’t understand him. Thank you, Kathleen!”

“Kathleen does a wonderful job of investing in her clients and helping guide them to success. A few weeks ago into his sessions, our 4-year-old always gets a big smile on his face when he hears it’s time to go to speech therapy. He thinks of it as special help with his sounds – in large part because Kathleen gives him encouragement and confidence and approaches her coaching from an asset-based mindset. We’re grateful for her and SPS for the support they provide!”

“SPS and Beth Ann have done wonders for our son Beau’s development for his speech. We have seen great progress in pronunciation, sounds, vocabulary, and sentences. At 18 months old Beau was saying a handful of words, now at 3 ½ years old he has an expanded vocabulary and uses complete sentences! SPS does a great job of creating a specific plan to fit your child’s needs and work on building up their weaknesses. The staff and office are very warm and welcoming, our son Beau always looks forward to his weekly visits. Rest assured your child is in great hands with SPS, they will absolutely help them grow in numerous ways.”

When she began working with Cindy, Nora was able to produce only a handful of sounds.  Over the last 5 years, Nora has progressed tremendously.  Her sound production is now excellent, and her articulation and intelligibility continue to improve at a steady pace.  Cindy’s warm but authoritative instruction motivates and propels Nora to succeed in developing her speech and language skills.  Cindy also seeks to enhance Nora’s cognitive functioning through work on topics such as rhyming, matching/categorization, and reading comprehension.  We are indebted to Cindy for sharing her time and expertise – she has been absolutely wonderful for Nora!
