As a result of your hard work and dedication you have changed our son’s ability to communicate. He gradually found a voice for himself in his community and now has many more options for the future. You went beyond the requirements of you position and provided support and guidance as well as the specific instruction he needed. We thank you sincerely,

My son has been a client of Shira Meltzer at the City Speech Center since he was three years old. Our family is so grateful for the personal care and professionalism that has been shown to our son and all of us over the years. Having a child with a speech and language impairment is a game changer, Shira has worked with passion to give our son the best help and tools possible to overcome and cope with his challenges. She is an advocate for children, and has a real interest in their well-being both in her office and beyond. My son enjoys working with Shira and so do we. City Speech Center is to be highly recommended.

Shira, I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have found you … You are patient and loving with Sam & most of all have been incredibly impactful. Sam adores you & I know that he will miss you very, very much. I’ve learned so much from you as well & will implement a lot of what you’ve done with Sam… Thank you, thank you, thank you. You will never know how much having you in Sam’s life has meant to me & especially to him.

My son has been working with Shira for the past 5 years and he enjoys his visits very much. They are professional, caring, understanding of his complex needs, and make his sessions lots of fun! His speech is consistently improving due to their help. Thank you!!

Our son attended weekly speech therapy at City Speech Center for over one year. Our son’s therapy is challenging, in part, due to his multiple diagnoses. Shira Meltzer’s innovative, fun and patient approach allowed our son’s communication to improve and allowed our son to truly enjoy his speech sessions. The only reason that our son no longer attends City Speech Center is we moved away and but Shira is now really missed. I have no hesitation in recommending Shira Meltzer as a speech therapist to anyone, including those with very challenging speech therapy needs.

Highly Experienced Private Tele-Therapy Practice
Shira Meltzer R-SLP is a certified and licensed speech-language pathologist who has provided speech and language therapy for children all over BC for almost 20 years. Holding a bachelor’s degree in speech pathology from Queens College and a master’s in speech/language pathology from Lehman College (NYC), she’s passionate about helping young children, early learners, and students expand their communicative abilities.
Wide Spectrum of Language and Treatment Needs
Every child has their own learning challenges and needs which is why we design each therapy plan to meet their direct treatment goals. In fact, we run the gamut of speech sound therapy to cover many specific needs, such as: articulation disorders, autism, motor planning difficulties, lisps, language delays, learning disabilities, processing difficulties, tongue/lip/jaw strengthening needs, and other communication disorders.
Seamless Learning with More Personalized Care
While traditional face-to-face speech language therapy still plays a wonderful role in the growth of young children, videoconferencing and online speech therapy is quickly on the rise. Studies show that student development, parent satisfaction, and a child’s personal growth are equally consistent through both pathways, which means you should feel confident knowing that this is a path that can help your child succeed no matter where you live.
