What People are Saying

Our family worked with Casey when we brought our twin daughters home from their nearly 100 day NICU stay. Being 28-weekers, we had already been through a long journey and the need for weekly feeding therapy felt so overwhelming. Casey immediately put our whole family at ease. She is kind, patient and caring. She was phenomenal with guiding our girls to thrive with their feeding skills and she gave us as new parents the confidence we needed as well! We learned so much while working with Casey and are grateful to have had her expertise and support during our journey!  She always answers all of our questions and we left every appointment feeling like so much had been accomplished.
FEEDING THERAPY
Our son has had feeding difficulties since he was born which turned into him requiring a NG tube and then Gtube. The first and only feeding therapist we saw was Casey who has  helped us since day one. Her never ending support, service, and genuine care for our son shines through each session we have with her. We leave each session with a plan and how to incorporate it into our daily feeding routine. This type of practice has helped our son make so many big gains on his own. And although our feeding journey has been a marathon, we couldn’t imagine not having Casey on the rollercoaster with us, guiding us through each step!

I highly recommend Expansion Speech Therapy. Amy & Casey were a pleasure to work with in treating my son’s articulation issues. They were professional, reliable and highly engaging with my son. My son even looked forward to Amy’s visit each week as it felt more like a play date than a speech therapy session. Amy communicated progress updates each week and reassessed treatment plans with me regularly. She achieved great results in a relatively short amount of time.
SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY
Amy has always gone above and beyond throughout the entirety of our treatment! She is incredibly engaged, knowledgeable and has a warm demeanor. If she doesn’t know an answer, she goes out of her way to find it. She treats everyone as a team player, patient included and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!
AAC THERAPY
Words cannot begin to adequately express our gratitude for all you have done working with our son. His ability to express himself has doubled if not more over the past year. What a blessing it has been for his education, friendships, home life, and confidence! Casey, you will long be remembered and appreciated in our home!
SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY
After exploring multiple feeding therapists for our son, our family was incredibly fortunate to meet Casey and the team at Expansion Speech Therapy. Casey brings an empathetic energy to each feeding therapy session. Her tremendous experience when coupled with her calm, engaging demeanor has transformed our once stressful mealtime experiences with our son. Within the first few sessions with Casey, we saw an immediate change in our son’s behavior – he was back to trying new foods and as a family we were back to enjoying mealtime. Our hopelessness has been replaced by Casey’s thoughtful strategies and techniques to manage our son’s feeding anxiety. If you have a child in need of feeding therapy, we highly recommend that you reach out to Casey and Expansion Speech Therapy. Our only regret is that we did not find Casey sooner!

Navigating the world of resources for children with autism has been a journey. I am forever thankful that my daughter gets to work with Amy! My three year old daughter is nonverbal and super smart. She has had many early intervention therapists who have worked with her in the past couple of years and I can honestly say Amy has been one of the greatest! Amy just gets my daughter. She can anticipate what she needs and is able to translate that into a function that works best.
When my daughter qualified for an AAC device, I found it very overwhelming. There were so many options and I had so many questions about insurance…logistics…next steps? Amy made everything so easy! She navigated us step by step and I felt comfortable asking any questions along the way . Amy always had the answer, and if she didn’t right away she found the answer out for me by the time I saw her next.

My daughter really looks forward to her sessions with Amy. I love how Amy always has a plan but is able to follow my daughter’s lead for ultimate success. My daughter continues to make progress each week and I attribute it to Amy’s sessions with her! Amy opens up her sessions and allows my other daughter’s therapists to join. Having a team player means the world and I love that I am able to have her whole team on the same page. It’s as if we are all learning a new language together – not just my daughter – and Amy provides service for the whole team! I highly recommend Amy. She has done wonders with my daughter!
AAC THERAPY
Our son (10 months) had issues with solids/drinking related to a tongue tie, and we were fortunate enough to work with Casey for the past 2 months. She is so knowledgeable and we saw huge changes in our son. I really appreciated that she spent time trying to build a relationship with a him – she had a great balance of challenging him in productive ways while not pushing if there was something he wasn’t up for that day. Casey also always had a solution, work around, or something new to try if we hit a road block. She took the time to educate us (and his day care) so we could best support him. I would highly recommend Casey – she is the best!!
FEEDING THERAPY
Where do I begin? When I first reached out to Expansion Speech, our daughter had just turned 2. Though we raised her nearly exactly the same way we did her brother, she was still struggling to get her point across and spent hours each day screaming in frustration. We were exhausted and defeated, and I felt like I failed her. Our first session was an evaluation, and our daughter scored low in expressive language. I actually cried during the session and blamed myself. Over the next 3 months, Casey worked with our daughter in such a way that had her completely fooled, and our 2 year old thought this was just an hour of playtime every other week. Casey provided tons of tips and suggestions for us, and remained non-judgmental in every capacity. Casey always reassured me we were doing a wonderful job and that sometimes certain kids just need more help. What I enjoyed most about Casey was her awareness of a 2 year old’s attention span. She knew when to switch gears or take a break and sing some songs to keep the momentum going. After 3 months of therapy, our daughter’s second evaluation showed a 40-point increase and she was no longer categorized as delayed. Every day, she learns a new word and the biggest win of all is that she’s not screaming for 12 hours straight. I HIGHLY recommend Expansion Speech Therapy and I’m so grateful we stumbled upon their program when we needed help!
SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY
We came home with our 29 weeker and an NG tube after a 72 day NICU stay. After 6 weeks of floundering at home without progress or support, we were lucky enough to find Casey. Her warmth, presence, and kindness was a balm to our battered family. 

She worked with us weekly, giving us and our son concrete, practical strategies and the confidence to overcome our challenges. When our son developed a bottle feeding aversion, she went above and beyond to learn about the specific strategies we were looking to employ. 

After three months at home, our son was NG-tube free. Casey was there each step of the way to celebrate our successes and troubleshoot the hiccups. She is truly an integral part of our son’s success story and we do not know what we would have done without her.
