What parents are saying.

Every family deserves to feel heard. Here’s how Susan’s clients describe their experience.

“Susan has been working with my son Cole for over a decade and has been one of the biggest blessings in his life. She is so knowledgeable and has given my son so many tools to help him be successful socially. She helps him feel supported and understood through all of his challenges that come with living with Autism. I can’t imagine not having her in our lives.”

“Susan has been such a light in my son’s life. Nobody but his immediate family could understand him, and I could see how frustrated he was. Ms. Susan and my son formed an immediate bond, and within a few weeks he made huge progress. She also helped us identify my son’s dyslexia and got us in touch with a reading specialist. She gave us the gift of being able to communicate with our son after so many years of struggle. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“We started working with Susan when our son Clive was in Pre-K with a severe speech impairment. From day one she was kind, patient, and incredibly insightful. He genuinely loved his sessions. Over three years she helped him tremendously, including witnessing him say his name correctly for the FIRST time. She is a 100 out of 10, and we’ll always consider ourselves blessed to have had her on our team.”

“Finding the right therapist for your child
should feel like coming home.”

At Shields Speech, you’ll never feel like a number. Susan works with a small, carefully managed caseload so every client gets her full attention, creativity, and care.
