Community Speech & Hearing Center

I took my 18 month old son here for an evaluation. We saw a speech therapist names Tamara. She did an evaluation of my son and totally alarmed me saying that he needed therapy now as he was behind. She could not tell me why he was behind.

I was talked into pre-paying for 8 sessions and I would get two free. My son started speech therapy and it was terrible. At 18 months old he was forced to sit in chair at a table for an entire half hour. The speech therapist would pull out a toy with multiple parts. She would make him mimic her before she would give him another piece of a toy. I am guessing she doesn't work with children this ago very often, otherwise she would know that it is very hard to keep a toddler engaged and sitting in a chair for that long. My son would lose interest and try to get up. She would forcefully hold him down and get very frustrated with him. She would often raise her voice to him many times. On out final session she pushed my son down in a chair so hard .

I recently used this office for hearing aid service. The staff was attentive and took care of my needs in a prompt manner. I was very pleased with the quality of care and the honesty of the professionals. I was able to repair my hearing aids rather that purchase new ones at this time.
