Testimonials

“I get the unique perspective of not only working with Dani on a personal level (she screened my son when he was 3), but also a professional level working as an SLP in my classroom. Dani is truly an individual that strives to do what’s best for your child.”

“Ms. Dani was an excellent SLP for our daughter while she was in preschool! We loved how compassionate she was and my daughter enjoyed her outgoing personality!”

“She was warm, gentle, and made the work fun. I ended up working at that preschool and witnessed the same caring behavior with her other kiddos. She communicates the plan with parents well and it's clear she cares about your child's success.”
