IEP Meeting participation

We will provide direct ​advocacy during a school ​-based IEP meeting. We ​will attend the meeting ​and assist you to ensure ​expectations are met.

Testimonials

"SLS has been an absolutely pleasure for our son ​to work with the last two years. They successfully ​create a fun environment their young clients enjoy ​while working with them to overcome their speech ​difficulties. I’m amazed at what they have helped ​our son accomplish!”

Andrea C

“We can’t speak higher praise for helping our ​children navigate learning. To say we would be ​lost without SLS is an understatement. This ​practice fosters an environment that makes the ​learning fun. My oldest started knowing minimal ​letters in Kindergarden and graduated her reading ​program 2 years later reading above grade level. ​We are beyond grateful.”

-Mackenzie M

"My daughter had been in private tutoring since she was in ​kindergarten and still in 4th grade she was struggling at school with ​reading. After 6 months with SLS, my daughter significantly ​increased her test scores, her grades, and her confidence at ​school. She is now in middle school and is now on the A honor roll.


Once I saw my daughter’s progress, I brought my son to SLS. ​Stephanie has been so patient working with him and being his ​advocate with his teachers and his IEP case manager. She always ​gives me advice on what is best for him in the school system. ​Stephanie is my kids’ biggest fan and really goes out of her to make ​sure my kids are staying on track and making strides. We are so ​lucky to have found her.”

Katie M.

“Stephanie started out helping my daughter as a toddler with her ​speech after numerous ear infections. She was so successful and ​was so beloved by my daughter that we were her first client for ​reading and writing tutoring also. We were with SLS for many ​many years and you won’t find a more incredible Speech & ​Language Therapy nor better reading and writing tutoring!”
