We understand the commitment you are making in both cost and time for your child’s success. Below are words of encouragement from families that have made the same investment you are considering. Jennifer and her team at Anderson Speech Therapy work endlessly to provide outstanding services tailored to your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
As a professional music teacher, I am inspired and impressed by Jennifer Anderson’s incredible techniques in utilizing music with speech therapy. While she is already an outstanding speech therapist and shines in her trade, she is now stepping out of the box and bringing her own musical talents into her therapy, creating a new, fresh way to heal and restore. I highly recommend Jennifer Anderson! Her patience and kindness will encourage you and your family as you walk through this journey of speech therapy!

Jennifer has been wonderful for our family! She has helped my son learn and become comfortable with his AAC device, while also working with his speech intelligibility and volume. Now, when he and I notice a pattern that is difficult for him, he asks if he can make a note to remember to work on it with Jennifer. He works hard when he’s with her, but he has fun doing it, which makes his therapy time even more effective. She provides us with activities we can do at home to reinforce their learning, which we love!

I love that Jennifer and my child work together in a quiet environment learning new skills and then occasionally meet at the zoo or a museum, where he can practice using his new skills in a real-life situation. She has helped him with his volume, his intelligibility, and regulating his breath. As his speech skills are improving, so are his readings skills, which has been great to see.

Jenn is very easy to work with and makes us feel validated in our concerns, but more importantly, it gave us goals to meet and tailored strategies to achieve those goals. We felt Jenn gave us lots of attention and we were not rushed in our time with her.
One thing that really stands out about Jenn is her creativity in strategies, and finding the root of the problem rather than giving us a standard fix. Other people had encouraged us to” just use sign language” until my son started speaking on his own. Jenn however, gave us customized exercises that seemed goofy, but he started making progress within 2 days of these “weird” exercises!! She spent time really listening to what I told her I saw and was very patient and loving as she played, and got to know my son.
I highly recommend Jenn, with exceptional knowledge, and education she is the best in her field!

Jennifer provided speech therapy services for 2 of our triplet boys, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her expertise, friendliness, and professionalism. She always patiently explained what she would be working on with the boys each week, was able to incorporate all members of our family into the therapy and helped us as the parents to confidently implement the techniques she taught us to help our boys. Jennifer was always willing to listen to, and answer our questions and concerns. If you are looking for a top-notch speech therapist who your children will look forward to learning from, we highly recommend Anderson Speech Therapy!

Jennifer is a great mentor. During our time together, I observed her as having a positive attitude while remaining highly professional on a daily basis. Despite any challenges Jennifer faced, she always maintained a calm demeanor and focused on solving the problem at hand. When we were able to work together in implementing AAC devices for our clients, we were able to make significant progress! In addition, I was able to observe Jennifer during a private session in which she demonstrated her expertise in treating children with Apraxia and oral motor deficits. Not only was she an excellent therapist in her delivery of treatment, but she took the time to explain each treatment plan in detail to ensure I gained the most accurate knowledge. Needless to say, she exerts a comfortable and warm presence for both colleagues and clients. I would highly recommend Jennifer as your Speech-Language Pathologist OR your supervisor!

We have a complex 10-year-old child, K, with CP. Our original reason for driving 200 miles round trip was for PROMPT Therapy. When that wasn’t working as planned we found we needed to start with oral motor skills. Jenn knows the Beckman Oral Motor protocol, which we maintain today. Jenn spent the time to get to know K and would drag out new and different musical toys that would get her attention. We could always count on Jenn to be there. I have to say in the three years we’ve attended the speech with Jenn, we have learned to communicate with K and she is eager to learn to speak with a device that was chosen specifically for her. I left each week with many ways to work with Knot only with communication but also in helping me as a new homeschooling parent. I am so pleased to have Jenn as our granddaughter’s SLP.
