My preschool child was stuttering, and I didn’t know what to do. Schneider Speech
helped train me how to help my son, and they gave me useful strategies to employ at home.
I feel empowered that I can help my son, and he (and I) enjoys our interactions more than ever!

At 16, I was bothered by my deep and raspy voice, and I wanted to get back to singing and acting – and hanging out. I was so glad to learn that I could do something to help my voice, and months later I am still going strong!

In TREATMENT, we listen to you and support you.
We work together with you to develop effective strategies that facilitate your child’s speech-language and learning development.
We motivate children to want to succeed, and we make sure they achieve everything they can.
We are experienced and trained in working with children with diagnoses like:
Apraxia / Articulation Problems – we help children produce clearer speech, improving and strengthening their oral motor skills and motor planning system
Attention Deficit Disorders (ADHD) – we help children achieve greater attention with cognitive-behavioral strategies (learning skills like organization and time management), and we are comfortable discussing medications, exercise and alternative treatments to make sure your child does his/her best at home and in school.
Autism (ASD) and Asperger’s Syndrome – we help children with a dynamic approach that integrates a developmental perspective and behavioral strategies. We identify your child’s strengths and leverage your child’s profile to maximize his/her verbal and social success.
Auditory Processing Disorders (C/APD) – we help children, families and schools to develop strategies for academic success in the face of auditory processing difficulties.
Dyslexia – whether your child has visual tracking difficulties or language based difficulties in literacy, we help children of all ages and levels progress in (and enjoy) reading (English / Hebrew)
Receptive / Expressive Language – we help children develop strategies to promote better oral and written expression (word-retrieval, vocabulary, spelling, etc.) and better listening and reading comprehension.
Late talkers – we help parents determine when to initiate therapy and when to hold-off and “watch and see.” We give parents the tools they need to facilitate their children’s speech-language development.
Other learning disabilities – we use our training and experience to understand, engage and motivate children with a wide range of learning profiles.

Inga believed in our daughter and knew she could do it. Inga listened to my husband and me when others told us “not to worry.” Your professionalism is incredible. We know our daughter is amazing little girl, but you had the “trick” to help her through this so quickly. She is so happy and often says /s/ words because she loves to hear herself say them – and I tell her that it is “music to my ears.”
