What Our Clients Are Saying

"Mr. Ryan has been fantastic with my Autistic son. He uses play-based therapy to engage my child. He is very patient, flexible, knowledgeable in his field, and kind. My son has very limited verbal skills and it often takes several introductions for him to start to warm up to new people. We have only had a few sessions and my son already looks forward to seeing Mr. Ryan each week, which my son expresses to me directly. I recommend his services to anyone looking for speech therapy, but especially someone looking for services for a special needs child."
