What Families Say
“Joyce has been such an incredible blessing for our son. She doesn’t have a copy/paste approach- she truly learns your child and works with them from exactly where they are, forms a connection & relationship, and helps them in a way that feels like magic. My son has even gone from not making the F sound at all to doing it perfectly within one session. She is worth any investment and we would highly recommend working with her. It just doesn’t get better than Joyce. We love her!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an outstanding speech pathologist for our son. From the very beginning, she has been professional, warm, and truly invested in his success. The convenience of home visits has made a world of difference. Our son feels comfortable in his own environment, and that comfort has clearly helped him thrive.
What sets her apart is the way she connects with him. She is patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to make sessions engaging and fun while still being purposeful and structured. She tailors every activity to his specific needs and interests, which keeps him motivated and excited to participate.
The growth we’ve seen has been remarkable. His confidence has improved, his communication skills have expanded significantly, and he is expressing himself in ways we once only hoped for. She also takes the time to explain strategies to us so we can reinforce progress between sessions. That has been incredibly empowering as parents.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results driven speech pathologist who truly cares, I cannot recommend Gab & Grow highly enough. She has made a lasting impact on our son and our family, and we are beyond grateful for her dedication and expertise.”

“Joyce is an amazing SLP. She’s caring, gentle, patient and emotionally intelligent, everything you want in someone working with children. She’s also very methodical and organized, which really helps when it comes to tracking progress. My kids have been working with her for a couple of years now, and after more than six years of dealing with speech and language therapy, I can honestly say she is the best we’ve come across. She’s punctual, she keeps you informed, and you can tell she really enjoys what she does. She never gets flustered when kids get upset or impatient; she always treats them with kindness, dignity and respect. I recommend her 100 percent.”

“Joyce is an incredible speech-language pathologist. Our twins had speech delays that our doctor flagged in their first year. Joyce was incredible at working with our kids - lots of play-based activities, sign-language to get them to tell us what they wanted – and a TON of really helpful parent coaching so we could reinforce her work between sessions. Oh – and she did all of this during COVID lockdown, which meant that it was all remote, which still amazes us when we look back at the progress she made with our twins. Even as a face on a laptop, Joyce was able to engage both of them in back-to-back sessions, build a rapport, create fun sessions and make a TON of progress as we worked with her for over a year. We cannot recommend her enough.”

“I love the interaction and details that went into each session, with each lesson being tailored to my child's needs. The learning-through-play strategy allowed my daughter to learn spontaneously, and she looked forward to each session.

“This was such a fun class! I was impressed at how many creative and fun activities were offered during the session, all while modeling and explaining best practices for teaching our children to speak and communicate.”

“My little one loved this class! She loves interacting with others and this was the perfect environment for it.”

“We had so much fun! I loved that there was a “schedule” so I knew what kind of activities to expect, and that the class would have a flow to it. Song, reading, parachute, sensory play, art, and bubbles were all fun and engaging. 45 min was perfect and Joyce you are so wonderful! Loved being able to get tips and guidance from you.”
