"Denise works with my 13 year old son with autism. She is very flexible to work with and takes time to get to know your child. She really understands my son's needs and how to make each session enjoyable for him. Denise also makes sure to understand what our communication goals are for our son and balances that with where his current skills are. She is very knowledgeable and approachable. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a speech therapist for your child.”

"My son and husband enjoy their time with Denise. We really appreciate the convenience of her location as well as there are not many services like this in the Coolidge/Cg/Florence area. The advice she has given us has definitely helped us improved our son’s communication skills."

"We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Denise! When my four-year-old son started therapy, he was non-verbal and communicated mostly by taking my hand to lead me to what he wanted or by pointing. In just a few months, the progress he’s made has been incredible—he is now talking and actively communicating with us!

Denise has a special ability to truly connect with children. She engages my son in ways that keep him interested and excited to participate, using interactive educational toys, games, and communication devices that he genuinely loves. Her approach is both thoughtful and effective.

At the beginning, my son had a hard time staying focused and would often run around the room due to being very sensory-seeking and dysregulated. Denise has helped him learn to regulate, and now he remains engaged and involved throughout the entire session, which is something I once thought would be very difficult to achieve.

Denise is truly one of the best speech therapists I’ve worked with for my children. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, skilled, and effective speech therapy."
