TESTIMONIALS
When we first decided to put our daughter in speech therapy I was nervous that it would make her self conscious but within 5 minutes of Jen being there all of my fears were erased. The amount of joy and laughter coming from their session was such a relief and let us know we made the right decision. Not only has Jen helped our daughter with her clarity and confidence when speaking, it’s the class she most looks forward to every week.

Erin Marsh began working with my son two years ago, when he was three years old. While other speech therapists we saw were very kind, they employed a more systematic and top-down approach that left my son feeling like speech therapy was a chore. With Erin, the "teaching" happens naturally, as with each lesson she incorporates games, crafts, and discussions that my son was inherently interested in. My son asks regularly "is Miss Erin going to come today?" as he looks forward to spending time with her. For this reason - as well as his greatly improved speech! - I could not recommend Erin enough.

My 5 year old son has been seeing Erin for over a year now to help with his significant delays in expressive language and comprehension. His progress with her over the year has been transformative. She has helped him to become kindergarten ready and continues to help him achieve all of his kindergarten goals. Not to mention I would be lost without the continuous guidance she gives me with navigating a child that learns differently from his peers. She has helped me to understand his learning style and to inform the teachers on how to better teach my child. Erin is a true gem and I feel so blessed to have her in my life.

Jen is a truly talented speech therapist, but most importantly she has a unique ability to connect with children through enthusiasm and joy. My son struggled tremendously with his speech, specifically his T, R & S sounds. As parents, we tried very hard to help, but didn’t have the tools to help him fix it. We started working with Jen at the start of 1st grade and by the end of 2nd grade, my son had learned how to properly articulate & self correct all of those sounds. They both worked hard to make the change, but Jen made every session fun, so my son enjoyed every minute of it.

This class was just what my shy, covid-socially deprived, late to talk toddler needed. The class is run by two speech pathologists teachers and it is clear that the class is designed with language development in mind. They knew the appropriate ways to engage my daughter and elicit language. It was a great way for my daughter and me to bond and enjoy special time together. We play the songs from class throughout the week and we both know all the words to all the songs (dance moves included)! What a delight to be part of the Lu and Ni family. I call it a family because it really is such a close knit community!

For the last year, Lu & Ni has been such a bright spot in my daughter's week! Jen and Erin do such a great job incorporating language into all the songs they choose in such a natural, organic way. They are flexible in their teaching and individualize their language expectations to meet the children at the level they are at. My daughter will often be singing the songs from music class all throughout the week, and hops out of bed on Saturday mornings when I tell her it's time to get ready for class. She (and I) will be so sad when it's time to move on!”

Jen and Erin are simply a magical pair who have modeled excellent techniques promoting speech and interaction with our daughter. Their songs and dances have become an essential and everyday part of our lives. And the tips that they sprinkle through classes are incredibly helpful and practical. We are forever grateful for the enrichment that they have added to our lives and emphatically recommend their classes!

We love Lu & Ni music class! Jen and Erin have created an interactive and energetic class filled with all our favorite sing-along songs and fun props! My son and I started attending the music class a few months back and, with the help of Jen and Erin, he has blossomed into what seems like a new kid. He thoroughly enjoys seeing his new friends, playing with all the prop toys and learning new songs each season, many of which we continue to sing at home and in the car. Jen and Erin are patient and kind and have created a special environment where kids can just be kids - they can explore, learn, play and even have the occasional tantrum. And for parents, they have created a sacred hour each week where we can be fully engaged with our children and dance, sing and jump around together.
