I cannot say enough wonderful things about Haydee Thurber! She worked with our son for approximately two years during preschool, and the difference she made in his speech, language development, and comprehension was truly remarkable.
Before finding Haydee, we had tried other speech therapists, but our son struggled to engage with them and often refused to participate. From the very beginning, Haydee was different. She has an incredible gift for connecting with children, making therapy both enjoyable and effective. Our son absolutely adored her and genuinely looked forward to his sessions!
What truly sets Haydee apart is her dedication to her patients and their families. She consistently provided thoughtfully prepared handouts and worksheets that reinforced the concepts she was teaching, allowing us to continue working with our son at home. She was always wonderful about communicating his progress, explaining what they were working on, and helping us understand how to support his development.
Haydee also made a point of celebrating his accomplishments, often rewarding him with little prizes and toys as he reached new milestones. Those gestures meant so much to him that, even years later, he still treasures some of the toys she gave him. That speaks volumes about the positive and lasting impression she made on our son.
Beyond her exceptional clinical skills, Haydee was incredibly kind, patient, compassionate, and professional. She was also fantastic at helping us navigate the insurance reimbursement process, which made the entire experience so much easier for our family.
As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than finding someone who is not only highly skilled at what they do but who also genuinely cares about your child. Haydee is exactly that person. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and love she invested in helping our son succeed.
I wholeheartedly recommend Haydee Thurber to any family looking for an outstanding speech-language pathologist. She is truly one of a kind, and we feel so fortunate to have found her!
