Testimonials

After being an SLP in a school setting for 5 years, I was interested in picking up a few early intervention cases after work. After a very brief interview, I was quickly hired by an agency. They sent a packet with blank copies of early intervention paperwork and the name and number of my first parent/child that I would be working with. I was told to call the parent to schedule speech services and to let the agency know the “first attend date”. I felt so lost and overwhelmed! There was very little guidance given and I wasn’t sure where to start. What should I say when I first contact the parent? What should my sessions look like? How do I fill out session notes and progress reports? Luckily I was able to lean on Margaryta for help! She walked me through what to say to the parent, how to structure my sessions, ideas for activities, what toys to bring, and how to fill out all of the paperwork. I’m so grateful for all of her help! She made me feel so confident walking into my first early intervention session.

As a school-based Speech Language Pathologist, I was looking for an opportunity to make extra income after work. Although opportunities working in early intervention sounded great, I was afraid to start (I’ve never worked with the little ones). Margaryta guided me, step by step, on exactly what to do, to say, and what to bring into my first few sessions. Her hierarchical guide of skills was a lifesaver to track kids’ progress and pick new goals to work on. Margaryta is kind and very passionate about this field. You will feel so supported having her guidance.
