""Donna Culley came into our lives quite unexpectedly. We were suspecting our 3 year old son had Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and I was unable to find private tutoring for him over the summer months (he was receiving services through our school district and private tutoring through Cleveland Hearing and Speech, but the school didn't offer extended school year to him, and we were unhappy with the private tutoring). After a call to ASHA, I had a few names and phone numbers to call. She was my second phone call, and the stars were totally aligned...not only did Donna live nearby, but she was an insurance provider, had specialized training in CAS, and had prolific experience with toddlers. I had high hopes for our first meeting, and she did not disappoint. She has continued to exceed our expectations for close to a year now...we've kept seeing her to supplement the district's speech therapy...and we're not planning on letting her go any time soon! Donna is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, kind, and has such a way with children. My son typically warms up slowly to new people; this was not the case with Donna! He loved her instantly. He is making more progress under her expertise than he has under anyone else's. My family is so grateful to her, and we feel so fortunate to have found our Donna Culley. She's simply the best!"
