One of the best therapy providers by far! Starting services was a smooth process and their therapy services are... effective and thorough. I like that they also send me tips and additional resources for my son via email. Very resourceful! They are very accommodating and considerate of my son's Autism. The best part is my son's language development is progressing very well. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Sol!read more

Highly recommend Sol Speech and Language Therapy. Ms. Valerie visits my son’s school and works with him one on one to... help improve his speech. He has been progressing quickly and we could not be more proud of him. He is always excited to meet with her, and I appreciate her communication and strategies I can implement at home.read more

Great experience all around! My three-year-old son has been working with Brandi to address a fluency disorder. During... the speech language evaluation, I was immediately impressed with Brandi's demeanor and interactions with my son, not to mention her depth of knowledge. She clearly has a way with kids and when she comes to our home for the sessions, she just makes everyone comfortable! She gives us practical information that we can understand and use. We feel fortunate to have found Sol and Brandi.Cortney at Sol got back to me the same day I inquired about their services and had us set up with the evaluation in a matter of days, which I didn't expect and really appreciated.read more

Sophie was not only exceedingly well versed in the class material for voice training but also made a point to be... patient, kind, and constructive when working through improvements made in each proceeding session.Overall, I loved the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone that is working to feminize their voice and work through exercises to help with that journey.The availability and punctuality were always on point, and the communication both through email and zoom were excellent and provided as close to an in-person environment as I could have asked for.I'm glad Sol Speech has Sophie onboard, and am thankful for the opportunity to have gone through the program with her!read more

Simply awesome experience with guaranteed success! If you're looking for a personalized, comprehensive, and thoughtful... approach to your speech & language needs, Sol is the place for you. The clinic owner is so amazing, my family has followed her across the country!read more

We have been more then happy with the services we received though Sol. They are very timely, responsive and kind on the... administrative side and as far as the therapist we were assigned to, Brandi is knowledgeable, compassionate and funny! She brings a great energy to the lesson each time and truly cares about the well being and advancement of the whole child. We couldn’t be more pleased.read more

Our son has been working with Nicole for a couple months now, and we could not be more pleased! We’ve worked with many... STs in the past and Nicole has consistently provided us with prompt and valuable feedback, which hasn’t always been our experience. She handles all of our questions and concerns with professionalism, and even supplies supporting research and resources for reference. Our son’s speech has exploded in the past few weeks, and though it’s been a team effort, Nicole has been an integral part of that team.read more

We moved to Austin in August and our son was diagnosed with Apraxia earlier in the year. We were very nervous about... finding speech therapists in our new city that were experts in the field, but after extensive research, I came upon Sol, and I am so grateful and happy we did! Since August, our son’s speech has exploded - he can tell us his wants and needs, speak in sentences, and has an extensive vocabulary. Therapists, Cortney and Nicole, share weekly updates so we know what he’s been working on and understand his progress and goals. They are communicative and are passionate about what they do and the kids they work with. Also, they make their sessions super fun to ensure our son stays engaged. It’s the best feeling to know he is in the best of hands and that the therapy is making a huge impact on our sons life. I couldn’t recommend Sol Speech & Language Therapy more.read more

My daughter has been taking speech therapy sessions with Sol Speech & language for about 2 months now. The confidence... that my daughter has gained from being able to properly say her name to the kids at the park is priceless! We have had the pleasure of working with Brandi and she is flat out great! Brandi has made this adventure for my family fun. I love that she can see the needs of my child and addresses them is such a perfect way! I highly recommend Sol Speech & Language! I also highly recommend working with Brandi!read more

We love our therapist Nicole! She is so sweet and sends us messages and videos all the time. We’re immensely grateful!... Thank you Sol!read more

Sol speech therapy has been so helpful for our 2 year old to help him get up to speed after his ear tubes surgery. We... went to another (highly rated, I might add) speech therapy center in austin before finding Sol, and every session we left feeling like it was a waste of time. With Sol, every session is so fun and helpful. Ms. Brandi is so fun and full of energy! She not only teaches our son, but she really teaches my husband and I different ways to encourage language. On top of speech, she has also helped us with picky eating! We cannot be more happy with the service she has provided to our family. Also, I love that she comes to our house. It’s not covered on insurance, but the sessions are less than $100 each. For not being covered, the quality of service provided, AND coming to the house, it feels like a bargain. We love Sol and Ms. Brandi!read more

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Nicole and all she does for our 3 year old. He is starting to... communicate and is so excited about talking. What sets Nicole apart is her thorough, consistent communication. My son receives services at his school and though I cannot be there for the session, I feel like she gives me such a good overview of the skills worked on, what to practice at home, videos, pictures, support graphics, etc. She also coordinates with his other therapists and connects with his school to align on goals/ideas. Overall, highly recommend Sol for services - couldn't be happier!read more

I've seen more improvement in my son's speech over the past 3 months that he has been with Brandi than the past year... with his prior speech therapist. I can't recommend Brandi enough!read more

My son and I relocated to Austin in august 2022, and he had taken a break from his previous speech therapy while we... settled in. Cortney was really helpful in helping us get settled with a therapist quickly. Alex is able to come to our house for his appts and I can already notice a improvement in my little boys speech. I’m able to communicate with them very well without issues. I’m so glad I found them and can’t wait to see more progress :)read more

This has been a big help to our son. It is nice and close as well

We initially came to Cortney for an evaluation for suspected Childhood Apraxia of Speech. It is a rare motor speech... disorder and after doing a lot of research on my own, I knew we needed to find someone who specializes in motor planning speech therapy. She immediately recognized that my son presents with CAS and has been providing therapy for him twice per week for the last two months and I already recognize progress with varying sounds, more syllables, and more words per sentence. I fully trust her expertise and greatly appreciate how responsive and helpful she’s been. Thank you so much, Cortney for helping my son find his voice!read more

Sol Speech has been wonderful for both my children. The speech therapists are very knowledgeable and know how to get... the kid’s interested in working on their skills and staying focused. We have really enjoyed their services.read more

We switched to Sol starting in May and it's now July and we started seeing exponential growth with our son's... vocabulary. We started seeing his improvement in just three weeks going twice a week. This is his third speech pathologist and Brandi is the best. We are so happy we switched to Sol. It's also very convenient that they meet him in his school in his environment versus taking him to a clinic with mom and dad hovering over him. I think that makes a huge difference. We are very happy with Sol!read more

Maria R.

My son has been seeing Brandi at Sol for a couple months and we’ve had a great experience! We immediately noticed a... difference in his speech and she gave him (and us) the tools for working on things independently. And my son loves going, and looks forward to it every week!read more
