"We have worked with Lindsay since our daughter was three months old. She has given us both the tools and encouragement needed for our daughter's hearing and speach to improve to that of other kids her age in under a year. Our sessions together are fun and we leave with a clear understanding of what to do next. Thank you Lindsay!"
