One word?
Awesome!! 😊
When we first got the diagnosis for our son we were quite dejected and really out of it.
Mildly Autistic
We knew how society would see him and the assumptions they would make and we were really worried. One place that we tried at first seemed like they were more interested in billing our insurance than helping our son.
So when my wife found All Star and we went to meet with them the first time, they won us over right there. Laren and Adrienne are enthusiastic, genuine and so empathetic we felt more happy than we've felt about this entire ordeal ever. They filled us with hope and that is precious because that is what drives you to keep persevering for your child who has extra needs. They were flexible in helping us work through the various insurance hurdles that came up which is pure gold.
It appears the hope and trust we put in All Star was well-founded.
Within a couple of sessions we saw marked improvement in our son's communication skills. And it has only steadily improved. A little more than a year in and our son is a chatterbox now; spontaneous speech is such a norm now that we can scarcely remember when it wasn't. He totally has warmed up to them and looks forward to going there. They have been professional, patient and just so friendly and nice.
Our son is engaging in a way that we couldn't have imagined and we get a little emotional seeing where he has come from and where he is now. They continue to be readily accessible and are a fount of knowledge and solutions for many issues that arise.
In under a year they made our son school-ready and that is truly remarkable.
We feel blessed that All Star is a part of our son's life.

Laren is absolutely wonderful! She has such great energy and our son loves his sessions with her. We have noticed such an improvement in his speech since she has started working with him. We are thrilled that we found her!

Best decision I ever made for my son. Laren is outstanding and my son's speech has improved greatly. After a few weeks with Laren, I noticed a major improvement in my son's speech. It also helps that he is very fond of Ms. Laren too, but she's extremely likable. She is amazing and talented with the kids. Look no further and visit All Star Speech Therapy. My son wasn't able to speak or make clear sentences and babbled a lot. Now he's using big words and won't stop speaking. I love it!!! To hear him call me "mom" or "mommy" is the best thing in the world. I am FOREVER grateful to Ms. Laren.
