“My son has been working with Tracey for almost a year. I am extremely pleased with the progress he has made as a result of his weekly sessions with her. Tracey is extremely professional and knowledgable.”

“Hi,
I am Tracey. I have always been passionate about helping children reach their full potential, addressing each child’s individual needs to improve their speech and language skills.
I strongly believe that a team approach; child, therapist, parents and teachers, is the best way to develop and carryover the skills needed to be a productive communicator.
The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the excitement on a child’s face as they achieve “that” sound, combine words for the first time, or find the answer to a question that was always so difficult.
