"First I must say thank you for being such an asset to the field of speech-language pathology and sharing your experience, skills and insight. A couple of years ago I was fortunate to discover your book Successful R Therapy while working as a SLP in an elementary school. What an excellent tool."
- Cynthia Moore, RN, SLP
"You taught me things about "R" that I never knew, though about or imagined. Armed with this book that you wrote, I now feel competent to tackle that difficult sound that so many SLP's dread to conquer!"
- Cathy Burrow, SLP
"I had an aha moment in class when you said that some clients needs both a tip up /r/ approach combined with a butterfly position. I tried this with a client who is 10 and has never said an /r/ sound correctly. Guess what?! She got it! We all started to cry - mom, client and me! It was the best moment ever! Thank you soooo much! She has been able to stabilize the /r/ since then and we are now working on putting it in other contexts. Thanks again!"
