★★★★★
We feel that our child’s speech has hugely developed since she started her speech therapy with Sasha. Our daughter started the therapy by talking 2-3 word sentences and odd words and now she speaks in 4-5 word sentences every day. Our daughter also now interacts with us at home more than she did and seems happier and more social. We feel that speech therapy has really improved her confidence and helped us to be more in touch with each other. Our daughter is improving every week and this has set her up for success at her school that she started in September. She has come on leaps and bounds sin

Highly recommend Sashas servise. Sasha is very enthusiasitic and warm person with very kind approach to childern! Superb servise, therapy was tailored to our sons needs. Tips and starteges given helped a lot. Our son made speedy progress within only 3 weeks! Not only his expressive language accelarated but receptive too! We have noticed so many possitive changes in such a short period of time. Please trust the process, dont be discourage at the very beggining and think that startages are simple and you are not doing much, it will all make sanse later on and pay off! if you follow Sashas recomm

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for the incredible progress our son has made thanks to Sasha Appasawmy’s expertise in speech therapy. Sasha’s techniques have been very instrumental in helping our son pick up spontaneous language in a way that feels natural and engaging for him. She has an impressive ability to connect with children, making the sessions both effective and enjoyable. Sasha is incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in various speech therapy techniques and her personalised approach ensured that our son's unique needs were always prioritised. Her patience, creativity
