Testimonials
"I highly recommend Mrs. Larisa."
"We have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Larisa for the past year. My five-year-old son had low to normal muscle tone and had trouble making his L, R, S and Z sounds correctly. Mrs. Larisa made a plan and carried it out with amazing results. One year later, my son’s tongue strength has increased greatly and he is able to make all of his sounds correctly. Mrs. Larisa is an exceptional therapist. She is respectful, kind and patient. She has a positive attitude, enthusiastic manner, and always keeps my child engaged with games and fun activities and encourages him talk about his interests. Mrs. Larisa is flexible with schedules and can switch easily between Zoom and in-person appointments at her quiet, kid-friendly clinic. I highly recommend Mrs. Larisa at Aim High Speech."

"Mrs. Larisa is truly a miracle worker!"
"Ms. Larisa has worked with my son this past year and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. My son had a very bad lisp at the beginning of the school year that effected his communication with others. Now, at the end of the year, he is able to express himself with little difficulty and people no longer have trouble understanding what he is saying. Ms. Larisa is truly a miracle worker!" - Tamara Matatova
"His speech has progressed amazingly."
"We were blessed that we got Larisa as a therapist especially during a time where therapy had to be done via zoom with a child who doesn’t want to sit still for 30 minutes. Larisa always found great activities and games that interested him and got his attention and his speech has progressed amazingly. Five stars well-earned We highly recommend Larisa." - Former Parent
