Testimonials

Casey came into our lives at a time when we hit a roadblock with our son's speech therapy. Before Casey, our son was being seen in a massive speech therapy practice; his sessions were short with little to no results for a lot of money. I began looking for a better fit for our son & we found Casey by what I swear was divine intervention. Casey held our hands in a moment of fear & unknown in our lives. Our son was 19 months old, barely speaking & we didn't know why or how to help him. Casey came in so confident & reassuring, she helped us to understand communication, speech & play and how it all intertwines together to create learning & growth in our child. From the moment she met our son, not only did she give all her energy & attention in each session, but she most importantly gave us the tools to use at home to help our son in his speech & communication journey. Since we started working with Casey just 9 months ago our son has grown leaps & bounds. He is speaking in short sentences, learning new words everyday, communicating more in all ways, mimicking more & engaging more. While I know these abilities were always within my son, I know Casey is the reason they have come out & are blossoming before us. From a parent who once feared she would never hear the words "mom" or "I love you", I hear them now all the time, along with so much more. I cannot put into words what a gift it is that Casey has given to us.

We are so grateful to have found Speak Outside the Box! My son 3 year old son loved going to speech with Miss Amanda. The environment is like a playroom straight off of instagram and he really enjoyed all the activities. My son’s speech improved faster than I expected! When we started, I had to interpret most of what He was saying to most adults. After just a few months, those same adults were telling me they couldn’t believe how well they could understand him! The take home work really helped that progress and we enjoyed doing it together. I can’t recommend Speak outside the box enough!

- Kaitlin

Casey at Speak Outside the Box has been more then a therapist to us. Her expertise and guidance has helped us through the process of getting our son the support he needs to thrive. And most importantly our son adores her and doesn’t realize their playtime is therapy.

- Shanna Glazer

My daughter's speech was almost impossible for most to figure out what she was saying. She would get easily frustrated, which would lead to behavioral issues in her preschool class. She started working with Outside the Box and there was a noticeable difference pretty quickly. Her most exciting moment came when she was able to say "Alexa" and choose her own cartoon without my help! The way her face lit up melted my heart! It is the little things, but she has made big strides! I am so thankful that we were able to get her in!

-Angela Wilfong

Addi is always excited to see Mrs. Erin when it is her turn for speech and when she comes back to class she seems so happy and loves to tell me about the games they played. I see a noticeable improvement in her speech and Addi seems more confident when speaking to her friends. Thanks, Mrs. Erin!

“Casey connects with our daughter in a way that very few can. She coaches us, as well as our daughter’s other therapists and teachers, to make meaningful connections and expand communication. Casey is one of our daughter’s favorite people. We are so grateful for her!”

- Melissa

“Casey is top in her field. She is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. She has provided many tools to help students succeed in the classroom and beyond. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to work with her!”

- Sarah, Pre-k teacher

“We can’t say enough good things about Casey. Our daughter had been in speech therapy for almost a year with very little progress before we found Speak Outside The Box. After working with Casey for only a couple months we noticed not only our daughter’s expressive language take off but we also noticed an improvement in her joint attention and engagement during play. Casey created a plan of care tailored especially to our daughter and gave my husband, nanny, and i tools to continue her plan of care within our home.”

- Charlotte

“Erin has been working with my minimally verbal 6 year old son with Down Syndrome and she has been phenomenal! Her approach to a potentially challenging child has been spot on with her therapy goals. She uses creative games, visual aids and tactile input techniques to bring him out of his shell and encourage new sounds, combined sounds and other motor planning skills. In a few months, we’ve seen a tremendous improvement in his expressive speech along with his confidence in communicating. He can be understood when he asks for something now and is confident he will be understood. His classmates are understanding him more making his full inclusion school day successful. We’re so glad to have found Erin with Speak Outside The Box!”

- Arianna

“Our experience with Speak Outside the Box has been life changing! Casey’s play-based strategy taught us ways to better engage, interact and understand our son. We’ve set goals, surpassed them, created new goals and continue to find ways to encourage and challenge him. It’s amazing watching him grow and thrive in such a fun, playful and innovative environment. Best of the Best!!”

- Chelsea

“The help that we have received from Casey has been life changing for us. We have progressed from a child who would barely speak to clearer communication within a matter of months. I have connected with my child in a way that i had never connected prior. Her entire whole care approach and dedication she has to the families that she helps has been something we have never experienced before. We are so grateful for the help she has provided to our family.”

- Christina

Frequently
Asked
Questions

  • Submit a contact form and we will reach out to you as soon as we can to set up a formal speech-language and/or occupational therapy evaluation. If your child’s results indicate a need for intervention we will provide you with a plan of care and any supplemental assessments that we recommend.

  • An initial evaluation will provide us with an idea of where intervention will be most beneficial for your child. Our therapists provide therapy in our office, in home, or in your child’s school or daycare when appropriate. We commonly collaborate with other therapists, providing co-treatment sessions in their spaces as well.

  • The length of a speech or occupational therapy session ranges from 30 to 90 minutes. In most circumstances we encourage our families to be fully present and active participants. However, this is dependent on your child’s goals, developmental level, and your child’s unique learning style.

  • If you are interested in setting up a formal evaluation we will discuss pricing once we connect. The rate is dependent on how many hours we recommend for your child and who your child is receiving therapy from.

  • We do not accept insurance but we are able to provide a medical diagnosis and/or treatment code on your invoice that your insurance may/or may not accept for reimbursement. You will have to contact your insurance and discuss options for “out of network providers” which Speak Outside The Box, LLC is considered. If you have been granted funds through the Gardiner or McKay scholarship, a paid invoice will allow for reimbursement.
