We feel so fortunate to have met Karla early on in my twins' speech therapy.
She started working with them through early intervention when they were 2.5 years old and in preschool. Karla made learning fun with age-appropriate materials that meant they didn't even realize they were being tested and working; to them, it was literally all fun and games. We missed Karla during kindergarten, but for 1st grade, chose to hire her privately and have not regretted it for one second. My kids were stumbling with online speech therapy during distance learning, and it was clear they were regressing. Within one Karla session, they were back on track and actually asking to do their speech "homework" at night when brushing their teeth. Those who talk to them regularly have made comments that their speech has really progressed this fall. My kids have gained confidence in their speech which has translated to confidence in all aspects of their life. It has been magical to watch.

My family highly recommends Early Childhood Speech Language Pathologist Karla Gill.
She has worked for two years with our daughter, who was diagnosed with an articulation disorder at the age of three. Over that time our daughter’s speech proficiency has greatly improved. Our daughter is now much better understood by her peers, teachers, and grandparents. Many have noted the improvement. Our daughter feels more confident -- she will speak up more around her peers and she will keep trying if at first she isn’t understood.
Our daughter is an introvert and somewhat shy. Ms. Gill has a gentle, caring and enthusiastic way of connecting with children. She consciously seeks out activities that will readily allow our daughter to express herself. Our daughter has come to trust and listen closely to Ms. Gill and looks forward to the visits. Gently guided, our daughter has become better at recognizing her own mistakes and correcting them.
Ms. Gill is a strong communicator and keeps us well appraised of our daughter’s progress through emails, written notes, assessments, and conversation. Ms. Gill is always prompt and responsive when we have concerns or questions. She knows her subject, and has readily explained why and how some erroneous substitutions of sounds and letters occur. As parents we better understand our daughter’s articulation patterns and substitutions. She shares and trades insights with us about what is successful. Her energy and optimism is contagious.-Parent

Karla is hands down the best SLP I have ever worked with.
Our School was fortunate enough to have Karla working in our classrooms for many years. The whole class would love when Teacher Karla would come to the classroom. She makes her time with the children engaging and inclusive. She really understands children and how to adapt to their specific learning styles. Karla cares for the whole child! She helps parents and teachers understand that language covers many other areas of a child’s growth and development, not just speech. We look forward to working with her in the future.
