We first met Laci & Chris (owners of Heart 4 Kids Therapy) in January, 2015. We had just arrived in Florida from Chicago and were in need of a speech therapist for our 2 1/2 year old son. In Chicago, we had participated in the early intervention program and their initial assessment placed our son about a year behind in his speech. We participated in the program for about 6 months and saw very little improvement so we were very skeptical of the process but we knew we needed to get him help. We found our options in the Clearwater/Palm Harbor area very limited and we interviewed with only 2 therapists. But quantity is not as important as quality; we knew right away that Laci was the one for us. Right out of the gate, she talked about working with us by providing tools for us to use with our son at home so that we could continue the exercises that she was performing in her sessions. After his initial consultation, she provided us with a list of concerns and goals to correct these. Each session, she worked on the sounds of the Ps & H's (his challenging sounds), 3 word sentences, yes/no's and many other areas. Right away, we saw improvement which continued each week. After 3 1/2 months of working with Laci, our son was up to speed and had age appropriate speech. We are looking forward to stopping in to see Laci and Chris again, but our son no longer needs therapy. I know our son misses her because he can now tell me that he does ;) So, naturally we had to question why we didn't have any progress in Chicago. First and foremost, Laci is AWESOME. She really knows how to work with kids, knows her field and has a ton of tricks to work with kids that have a short attention span. If your little one needs speech therapy or isn't making progress with your current therapist, GO TO Laci!! You will not be disappointed and your child will get the best help. A side note to the Early Intervention program, we found out after we stopped using the program that they use speech therapist assistants instead of speech therapists. This is not limited to the Illinois program but the Florida program as well. When we pulled out our paperwork, sure enough, there in small print was the word "assistant". It is frustrating that we wasted 6 months of precious time and spent over $1000 on the program to find that we were working with an assistant that provided very little results. Bottom line: Laci and Heart 4 Kids Therapy is the best! My son had the privilege of working with Mrs. Laci Coleman. She was so wonderful with him and helped him to reach his full potential. He was born at 25 weeks and we where told he would have so many delays, and the only delay he has is speech. His teachers today remark on how well he talks and the words he uses compared to his age group. I believe it is because of the wonderful speech therapist he worked with during his crucial years:-) Heart 4 Kids Therapy Heart 4 Kids Therapy, LLC is a licensed pediatric therapy clinic working hard to provide innovative and quality speech, occupational and physical therapy services to children and their families.
