"Working with Hand in Hand Speech Therapy has been life-changing for our family. My son went from barely using words to confidently expressing his needs—and even initiating conversations. Magdala didn’t just “do therapy”; she took the time to understand his personality, our family culture, and what actually motivates him. She created a home program that blended seamlessly into our daily routines and celebrated every win with us. I have never met a provider so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in a child’s growth. She gave my son a voice, and for that, I will forever be grateful."

"As a school psychologist, I can confidently say that Magdala is one of the most skilled bilingual evaluators I have ever worked with. She completed a Haitian Creole evaluation for a newly arrived student, and her cultural awareness, linguistic expertise, and attention to detail were extraordinary. She was able to clearly differentiate a language disorder from a language difference—something many evaluators struggle with. Her report was thorough, evidence-based, and easy for the team to understand. Because of her, we were able to place the student appropriately and support him without mislabeling him. Her work is truly exceptional."

"Our team had little to no background in assistive technology, and honestly, we were intimidated. But Magdala walked in with patience, warmth, and a level of expertise that immediately put us at ease. She conducted a comprehensive AAC/AT evaluation and then trained our entire staff—breaking everything down into practical, classroom-ready steps. For the first time, we felt confident implementing AAC with our students. She provided tools, visuals, and troubleshooting tips that we still use daily. Her ability to empower educators while centering student needs is unmatched. She transformed our program."

"Working with Hand in Hand Speech Therapy has elevated the quality of our speech and language services beyond anything we’ve experienced before. The therapist is professional, reliable, and exceptionally knowledgeable—she integrates seamlessly with our team and communicates openly with educators and families. Every evaluation she conducts is culturally responsive and deeply informed. Every student she supports makes measurable progress. Her presence has transformed our program, and we consider her an invaluable partner. Her services are truly one of a kind."
