"Our entire family has been very happy with the speech services my son has received at Lakeshore.  Communication is very difficult for him and Ellen has done a great job using different techniques and strategies to help give him a voice and intent to communicate.  I believe he works really hard for Ellen because he trusts her and he knows that she has high expectations of him.  Week after week it is encouraging to see his progress and growth which is beginning to carry over to both home and school environments."

"When we began speech therapy, my daughter had just turned two and wasn't speaking at all.  She is now a little over three years old and she has a huge vocabulary!  She is even starting to speak short sentences.  She wouldn't be where she is today without the services provided by Tracy at Lakeshore.  We still have a long road ahead of us, but she makes progress every day.  We are so grateful to Tracy for all of her guidance and support along our journey."

"We love Ms. Ellen! She has helped bring our non-speaking youngest son to beyond our expectations in one year to now speaking all of the time! She was referred to us and we are so grateful to have found her! We would definitely recommend her to anyone questioning if their child needs speech therapy."

"Our son is now seven years old.  We have had him receiving speech therapy services with other providers since he was four years old.  When he was almost six we found out about Lakeshore Speech Therapy.  We have been so delighted with the progress he has made as he has had weekly sessions with Ellen Spear.  Ellen has shown a great ability to really engage him, to keep him on task, but to also keep it "fun."  Our son has Autism and makes it clear when he is disinterested in something, yet not once did he ever balk at going to "speech time with Mrs. Spear."  She was able to give him the tools to enable him to be a more effective communicator and to provide us as parents ways to reinforce these tools around the home.  I would recommend Ellen Spear and Lakeshore Speech Therapy to anyone searching for a highly effective, highly qualified therapist for their child on the Autism Spectrum."

"After receiving speech therapy services from a different provider for over a year, we decided to make a change as we were unhappy with the care our three year old was receiving for stuttering. I cannot stress enough how pleased we were with the care we received from Lakeshore and Tracy in particular. Our daughter was very comfortable going into therapy and was eager to participate. Tracy worked with us and helped us to continue the learned tools at home by providing us with "homework" each week to reinforce the therapy received. Lakeshore is organized, communicates with parents, and provides excellent therapy. I would highly recommend this group to friends."
