Early intervention and Austin Area Speech & Language were our saving graces with our son's extensive language and communication delays. Our son's therapist, Mindy, has brought him from 10 words of communication at age 2 1/2 to the talkative, bright 5-year-old son who is living life as we hoped he would be able to. His therapist created goals specific to his needs and the goals are constantly being reviewed and enhanced. His achievements are remarkable, and it is absolutely due to the twice a week sessions we have had for almost 3 years at AASL. They were not concerned about a name for our son's problems, but detailed goals that paved the way to victory. We were once uncertain about our son's future; we are now excited and optimistic that he will have every opportunity that other typically developing children have. Everyone at AASL is compassionate and professional and they instill confidence in us that our son is at the right place. — B.P.

Susanne Schlankey is wonderful! She has guided my three children from incomprehensible to completely understandable. As their mother, even I couldn't understand my own children most of the time; now people meeting them for the first time don't believe they've ever had a speech problem. The AASLS office is professional and well-run. I've never been kept waiting for an appointment, and Susanne has great respect for both parents and kids. Susanne made their sessions fun and engaging, while helping them with their speech problems. I am very happy with my choice of AASLS for my children's speech difficulties. —K.H.

Austin Area Speech & Language Services has made a positive impact on our son's life. Prior to coming in for treatment, he was unintelligible to most people except for his parents. He had attended speech therapy elsewhere but was not making progress. On a friend's recommendation we came to AASLS, and within a few months his articulation improved tremendously. It was a thrill to watch him succeed in communicating with peers and to witness his social skills and confidence blossom as a result. He has transitioned from a socially shy child to a confident, outgoing child. —E.P.

Austin Area Speech is incredible! They have worked with three of my four children and the two that have ‘graduated’ speak beautifully. My kids always loved going to speech and improved rapidly. Susanne and her crew are truly gifted therapists.—J.J.

Austin Area Speech and Language Services have been like part of our family for the majority of our son's life. The care and attention he has received from his therapist has been an integral part of his success in school and happiness at home and in our community. She has been an incredible partner to our family and has helped give my son the gift of communication. I cannot recommend a better place for families to collaborate with to help their children reach their full potential." —L.N-B.
