What Parents Are Saying...

  • Parent of a 4-year-old girl:

    "Julie Flynt has been an incredible resource and support for our 4-year-old daughter. They have worked together for the past two years. Julie is professional, timely, and goal oriented. The best part is she is warm, charismatic, and makes our daughter want to go to therapy. In the past, our daughter shied away from therapists and medical professionals. Julie changed this during our first visit. We are beyond grateful for her expertise and the relationship she's built with our daughter. The growth we've seen from their speech sessions is invaluable."

  • Mom of 5-year-old boy:

    “Julie is a phenomenal speech therapist and is highly recommended by our family. She is extremely knowledgeable in her profession and is very patient and kind. Our son went from not using words to speaking in sentences after his therapy sessions with her. She truly invested her time and talents. She really cared for our son, and he loved going to sessions with her. She created a personalized plan tailored to meet the goals set in place for him. She loves what she does and it showed in how she provided therapy services. We are forever grateful for her and for the impact she made on our son.”

  • Father of 3-year-old girl:

    “When we were told our child had a significant speech delay, we were nervous about how their future would play out. Overwhelmed by fear, anxiety and overcome with a slew of appointments, tests and what would eventually be an ASD diagnosis, Julie was an answered prayer. She came HIGHLY recommended to replace our child’s first speech therapist, and she has far exceeded our expectations! Julie has cultivated a relationship with our child and consequently us, wherein she’s been a staunch advocate for the success of our child. We consider her a friend for life!”

  • Mother of 4-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy:

    “Julie has worked with both of my children. She is absolutely amazing. Her level of skill, knowledge and expertise is beyond compare, gaining the trust of children and parents. Julie not only achieves results, but she instills confidence in the children in her care. I cannot explain the joy of seeing the smiles on my children when pronouncing sounds that they worked hard to achieve. She blends instruction, fun, encouragement, kindness and her incredible skills to make for productive appointments. Julie is also a source of encouragement to parents with her gentle, honest and upbeat feedback. My family and I highly recommend her. She will forever be an integral part of our family.”

  • Mother of 18-month-old girl, 2-year-old-girl, 3-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy:

  • Case Manager at the Child Development Services Agency:

    “Julie went above and beyond her call of duty. She is a great asset to the agencies she works for. It is professionals like Julie who make collaboration work.”

  • Mother of 2-year-old boy:

    "We are so grateful to Julie for the work she did with our son. She started working with our son when he was two years old for his speech developmental delay due to ear infections and hearing loss. From the first meeting with Julie, we knew we were in good hands. Our son had fun with her through play and quickly felt comfortable with her. She was so patient and her nurturing, soft style was just what we needed. She followed each meeting with recommendations for us and provided us with resources and tools to use at home. She brought us hope when we weren't sure what to expect. Under Julie's care, our son went from communicating through noises and screams to using language and words to communicate and to leading a normal life. Julie also worked with him after he had his frenotomy procedure a few years later and he made quick progress. Julie is someone we consider to be one of our "angels" - someone who has had a direct hand in helping our family thrive and get through difficult times."
