What Parents Are Saying

“My daughter Ella was a client of Maggie’s at Folsom Advanced Speech Therapy for a total of 100 sessions over 2 years! Maggie has a true passion and love for what she does and it shows through her work. She got down on Ella’s level, looked her in her eyes, and figured out what she was really interested in and used it to expand her language in a fun and positive way. I have personally seen Maggie cater her services to each child on an individual basis. It’s nice when your child wants to go to therapy! Eternally grateful for Maggie’s heart felt, incredible services!”

We struggled to find a speech therapist that was a good fit for our daughter until we met Maggie and Jessica. Both have been patient, kind, and outside-the-box thinkers. They have offered very detailed and varied suggestions of ways we can continue helping her at home. Communication is very open and easy, as well as billing. We are hearing growth in our child’s speech and know that a foundational piece is her therapy at FAST.

We have been so impressed with our sons progress since he started going to FAST.  When Austin first started seeing Maggie we saw his confidence start to change right away, which was huge for us.  His talking and expressiveness have really sky rocketed! Every step of the way Maggie has been there for not only Austin but for us as parents too. She genuinely cares about her students and the parents. She takes the time to answer any questions we have had, she never makes us feel out of place or rushed, and is so happy and willing to work with the whole family. Our son does not like leaving FAST he truly enjoys his time there and loves Maggie, it’s hard to pull him away!

Your Initial Visit

FAST’s goal is to make the initial appointment a comfortable, warm and enjoyable experience for our children and families. It begins with an initial consultation provided over the phone to get to know your child and begin the intake process. Following the phone appointment, a clinic visit will be scheduled.
