"Miss. Jenn has been working with my son Alex for a few months on his articulation. Her one-on-one therapy has done wonders for Alex. We have previously worked with other therapists in private practice and within the public schools and Miss Jenn is by far the most thorough and effective. She makes an hour of speech therapy fun for Alex. She also provides weekly progress reports and practice materials for parents to continue with their child in between sessions. One of the best parts of working with Miss. Jenn is having the session in my own house, which is convenient for me and allows us to have the sessions in a setting my five year is comfortable with! I highly recommend Jenn to any parent looking for a great therapist to work with their child." -Mother of Alex, a 4 year old
"My son has benefited greatly from your professional approach and warm style. You have provided wonderful tools and techniques for him during the past few months. He was always eager to meet with you and to practice his exercises. Thank you Jenn!" -Mother of a 6 grade boy
"Jenn provided speech services in my home for almost two years. She worked with my son, Ethan, while he was in kindergarten to second grade. My son had problems with articulation and pronouncing certain sounds correctly, due to an early hearing problem. Jenn was wonderful! She showed patience and a wonderful sense of humour, and always came up with a variety of activities to help my son, from the use of games, stories and indoor activities, to working through outside play and sporting activities. This really motivated Ethan, who often looked forward to 'playing' with Jenn, which certainly helped his progress. We saw real progress due to Jenn's work. Ethan can now say all of the sounds he struggled with, and there was a real improvement in his articulation, which was also commented upon by relatives who spoke to him on the phone. The fact that Jenn could come to my home was wonderful, and besides putting Ethan at ease, allowed me to see how Jenn worked so I could also support Ethan's progress. I would definitely recommend Jenn's services!"- Louise, mother of 7 year old boy
"Jenn Higgins has been providing speech services to my son Ben since October 2006. Ben has Apraxia of Speech which makes it difficult for him to produce the sounds needed to communicate. Ben eagerly looks forward to his weekly speech sessions. Jenn keeps the sessions fun and interactive. I have been extremely pleased with the progress he has made in that time. He has improved his ability to communicate with longer sentence structures and ability to pronounce more difficult words. Jenn leaves words or phrases to practice with Ben in between weekly sessions. I would recommend Jenn without hesitation to work with your child to improve their communication skills."-Nadine, mother of 10 year old boy with
"Our family has known Jenn Higgins, MS, CCC/SLP since January 2006. We knew our daughter needed intensive speech therapy and we knew she made great gains working with people she felt comfortable with. She was comfortable working with Jenn and for us this was invaluable!
At all times I have found Jenn to be professional, reliable, courteous, and compassionate. She works well with Grace, providing motivation throughout the speech therapy session by making it a fun, enjoyable experience. It was just shortly after her 3rd birthday that Grace received a diagnosis of Autism. Jenn tailored the sessions to meet our daughter’s individual needs even prior to having a diagnosis. In addition, she always spent time educating my husband and me on ways we could encourage Grace’s learning between their weekly sessions. Jenn believes, as we believe, that Grace is full of possibility and potential. It is for these reasons that I would highly recommend her practice to other families in need." -Bonnie, mother of Grace, 4 year old diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder severe learning disabilities and Apraxia of Speech
"Jennifer Higgins has been providing speech therapy services to my 10 year old son for about one year. Jennifer is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the speech language field, and she has a wonderful way of interacting with my son. I especially appreciate the extra time and effort Jennifer has put into researching additional ways to help my son with his targeted speech sounds and carryover into his everyday conversation. As a parent who has had many years of exposure to a variety of Speech Language Therapists, I highly recommend Jennifer!" -Mother of a 4th grade boy
"My family met Jenn Higgins over two years ago when our son was first diagnosed with PDD-NOS. At that time, he needed support in expressive and receptive language. Every session, Jenn always found fun and creative ways to keep him engaged and interested despite his limited attention span-often times enlisting the "help" of the older siblings who were home at the time of the appointment. She was able to help our son learn how to be more communicative and expressive in his language and play. Our son has come a long way since his first appointment with Jenn in our home. We thank her for her continued skill, compassion and care for our son. He would not be where he is today without her services." -Mother of a 4 year old boy
