Mercer Island Speech Pathology

I wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciated the help we have received from Lesa and Sonja at Mercer Island Speech. We moved to this area during the school last year, and my son's seventh grade language arts teacher noticed that he was having some difficulties with his academic and social development in the classroom. She suggested getting an evaluation done to see if there were any disabilities that was hindering his progress and suggested I call MIS. After the evaluation was done it was apparent that ADHD was a serious issue and that signs of Aspergers was also present. My wife and I are parents that are still learning about this disability with the help of MIS and these two caring therapists. I know school has just started, but I had to post this review to say that I already see a change in my son's excitement in school. He has made some new friends in eighth grade, and I think much of that is the group work that Lesa and Sonja work on at their office. I highly recommend their services to families who need them. Thanks again. more

My husband and I have been looking forever to find that professional that "clicks" with our son who has now been diagnosed Aspergers/ADHD. The minute we walked through the door at Mercer Island Speech we knew we had found a match. Both Sonja and Lesa were welcoming, calm, and immediately able to connect with our son. He is seen in a group setting and in 1:1 sessions. We have noticed marked improvements in his social skills, ability to use his language to express himself and an obvious increase in his self esteem. I highly recommend this practice and have referred several people to Sonja and Lesa. They are dedicated therapists and good at what they do..........it shows!! more
