Testimonials from Happy Parents
Our first coaching session consisted of watching a video I had shared of my daughter and I interacting. Rachel would play it, then pause and give feedback. Even when I might not have "done it the right way", she was very positive and was sure to tell me all of the things that were going well and presented opportunities for me to try again a little different. It was then I knew what was missing......COACHING! I was excited to end our session and practice what I had learned. I felt empowered. I am feeling more confident in using my child's device, and so is my child. Even my husband and son are getting involved! I am looking forward to many more sessions with Rachel. Not only is she very smart, encouraging, and kind, she is invested. You can see she genuinely wants individuals and families to be successful communicators. We are the luckiest family to have found her and to be guided by her.

Rachel is one of the most knowledgeable technology specialists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Her approach to AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) is practical and logical, and she is passionate about her work. I believe she has what it takes to really make a difference in the complicated area of AAC. Rachel is dedicated to her clients and is open to teamwork and collaboration with everyone else that my son works with on a daily basis. Her innovations in the AAC field have greatly improved the quality of life of my son, my family and scores of other families that I know that also work with Rachel. I’m grateful that our ABA supervisor recommended her to us!

Rachel is the BEST, the SMARTEST and the KINDEST speech therapist. We've been lucky enough to continue sessions with Rachel virtually since we moved from Los Angeles and we haven't missed a beat. If you want a speech therapist who will tailor sessions to your child's needs, Rachel is who you need! She provides realistic examples of how you can incorporate speech into your family so it doesn't feel like you're "running goals" and it doesn't feel like "work" for your child. Her honest feedback and ability to work with parents and answer questions and problem solve your unique situation is unparalleled.

“I’ve been talking with Rachel for over a year in regards to my son’s speech. Rachel is in California, I’m in NY. But through her coaching, we’ve come so far. She’s helped me feel confident in advocating for my son, as well as helped me try new things. She provides easy tips that really work and tangible steps for now. She also gives me step by step ideas, so I don’t feel so overwhelmed. Anyone can have a game plan and a strategy that makes them feel empowered, but first you have to reach out to the support you need.”

"I have been trying to introduce an AAC communication device to my son, Austen, since he was about 3 years old. I had such a hard time finding out how to introduce it to him, and every person I turned to had a different way they wanted to do it, and we all got frustrated as a consequence. Rachel, however, was super amazing, totally understanding my family dynamic and how Austen utilizes the iPad. She quickly figured out how many words he should have on his iPad, and had a very easy method for us to use, breaking down everything into small steps. Austen is now communicating a lot more, not only on his iPad, but verbally and nonverbally as well."
