We found Forte through our SDP service coordinator and have had a really great experience all around. The team is responsive and professional, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients. They've made everything really easy and my adult son adores his SLP. Highly recommend!

Cassie worked with my daughter via Zoom and was SO engaging and patient. She made virtual sessions fun and effective, even when my daughter was a little wiggly! We saw great progress and felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old son worked with Megan from Forte for 9 months. He had done speech work for several years before and I would say Megan is as good as it gets for kids at my son’s development level. She was able to come to our house and find ways to keep him engaged every week when speech was the last thing he wanted to do. We are very grateful for Forte and Megan. Can’t recommend enough.

The Forte team was amazing to work with, and our speech therapist was great at connecting with kids and making therapy fun! I cannot say enough about this talented team! They have a unique way of connecting with children that allows them to feel they are meeting with someone they trust and look forward to seeing. Our child’s sessions that felt more like play were incredibly effective.

Forte is great! I've had a wonderful experience with them across the board. From the initial appointment to actual treatment, it's been fantastic. My speech therapist made such a difference, and it felt like we had a meaningful connection. The whole process seemed very thoughtful, deliberate, and designed to address my unique needs. It really helped my self esteem as well, which I didn't expect as much but hey, I'm not complaining! Highly recommended to anyone looking to improve their communication skills.

Speech therapy at Forte has been a great experience for me. It really felt like my therapist took a personalized approach which made each session feel valuable. I'm much more confident in my speaking skills than I used to be, I highly recommend Forte to anyone who needs to improve their speech skills. They're great!

Forte has been amazing for my speech delayed twins. We have worked with Shawn and Megan, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. My twins have similar speech issues, but have been treated as individuals with their own unique areas to be developed. And developed they have! My sons are able to express themselves and be understood. I highly recommend Forte!

We found Forte Speech from a friend recommendation and have been using them for a while now to help with our son's speech goals. He's made huge progress already in just a couple months! Megan Winer is our therapist and she's been really amazing, instantly connecting with our son (5y/o). He loves each session, and get to play new interesting games each time while learning. Billing and scheduling is super easy too with Forte. We highly recommend. :)

We started speech therapy with Shawn for our son when he was 1 1/2 due to an expressive speech delay. Throughout every step of the way, Shawn was caring, patient, invested and truly understanding of our child’s needs. Our son took to Shawn right away and our sessions together were something we both looked forward to. We could see progress so soon after we started working together and Shawn also took the time to educate us as parents about what we can do at home to help. We would highly recommend Shawn and Forte Speech and Language to anyone looking for a truly compassionate and knowledgeable speech therapist.
