"My son Zach was diagnosed with speech apraxia and needed urgent speech therapy intervention. He took to Carianne immediately and his progress has been remarkable; at 2 years 6 months he had a vocabulary of less than 10 words, with Carianne’s help he quickly progressed to more than 40 words as well as linking 2 or more words together in sentences in less than 2 months. His confidence levels increased dramatically and he attempts to pronounce more words all the time, instead of just the hand gestures he used before. We heard singing in our home for the first time after only a few sessions. He mimics and tries to repeat everything we say, the communication barrier is slowly being overcome. We are very grateful to Carianne and we are extremely proud of Zach. Friends and family can’t believe the change in such a short time frame. "
