Featured Testimonial : “Priceless” from a Current Client

"In the last few years, credit card companies have done some very effective marketing by showcasing precious moments funded by the use of their cards. As a viewer, you see couples whisked off at a moments notice to eat an Italian dinner... in Italy, a diamond engagement ring large enough to choke a horse... purchased by Lady Visa or Master Card, or a look of rapture on a child's face who gets to go to a fantastic fun-filled vacation in Disney with his family. We are to believe that those extraordinary moments are priceless. But my priceless moment didn't come zip-lining in the rainforests of Costa Rica. Rather it came from what many families take for granted...the sound ot their child's voice speaking and engaging in deliberate communication. Hearing my daughter's throaty, deep little voice is such a thrill. I've heard some mothers say they tire of hearing their child call "Mommy, Mommy," all day long, but if you prayed for that single word every night for days and months and years until you finally heard it, you cannot imagine the joy it brings... regardless of how many times it's said. For the continued use of that word and for all the new words and deliberate communication that my daughter is using and how she is growing, I am thankful to Kati Capitan of Central Delaware Speech Language Pathology. Hope is priceless.

My other priceless moment came the day that my child listened and complied with Kati in therapy, easily responding to questions and demands using her gestures, in front of an audience of family and another professional team representative who previously held doubts about her capabilities. This was huge for me. As a mother, I have broadcast the continued belief that my child can and will talk, and that she does understand far more than she expresses. I have advocated that she will not be labled and diagnosed with a number that doesn't belong to her, but that is so easy for professionals to fall back on. Validation is priceless; finally I had proof for all to see that my daughter understands and can communicate. If you have ever once tired of feeling as though you were doubted... that you were just a parent in denial...then you can understand my happiness that day. Once again, my appreciation for Kati's concrete goals, tenacious follow-through and passion for her work is "priceless." at CDSLP, clients are seen individuals.

So when I occassionally whip out my charge card to cover expenses while I cross my fingers and toes that my insurance carrier will continue to cover services, I know that the benefits by far outweigh the costs in the end, her therapy is worth every penny even if I pay out pocket. My thanks to Central Delaware Speech-Language Pathology, Inc."

- “Priceless” from a Current Client

"Kati has provided excellent services to both of my children. Originally my son began and struggled with his /r/ sound, but now is able to enunciate properly. As a result, his self-esteem has increased and he feels much more comfortable in social settings. Kati has a natural ability to work with people and is enhanced by her knowledge in her field."

- Increased Self-Esteem

"CDSLP is a wonderful place. Kati is very professional, knowledgeable, and teaches kids with all different needs. I would highly recommend giving her a try. Her hours are also very flexible and accommodating. It is a wonderful place!!"

- Current Client

"I am amazed at the advances my son has made in just one month. Kati is constantly adjusting/adapting the treatment program to address my son's needs. I also like how the treatment area is designed. I can observe the session without being distruptive and carry over Kati's strategies at home! My whole family is grateful to Kati for all of her hard work."

- Current Client

"Nik has made great progress since starting with Kati. He always enjoys his sessions and I love the feedback and progress reports that I get from Kati. I also appreciate how organized and systematic his treatment is, I always know what Nik is working on and his progress toward his goals. Thanks, Ms. Kati! "

- Great Progress

"Miss Kati is a terrific speech therapist. We are really pleased with G's progress. His "r" sounds perfect!!"

"My granddaughter, Hope, only weighed 4 lbs, 10 oz when she was born, and she was 3 weeks early. By the time she was 6 months old, and because of my work with young children, I knew that Hope would need extra help in her development. She has a speech and cognitive delay. Although she did receive services in Philadelphia, PA, I wasn’t sure what services were available when we moved to Dover, DE. One of Hope’s doctors recommended CDSLP so that Hope would receive the extra speech services that she needed. At the time, her school didn’t have a speech teacher and I wanted to get the help that she needed. I am very pleased with Hope’s progress. CDSLP goes the extra mile to help the children reach their goals."

- The Extra Mile

"My son has speech Apraxia and he has improved beyond my expectations since working with Ms. Kati. It is amazing to see him use the skills that are being taught to him here at CDSLP. The one-on-one attention and the knowledge to know how to teach my son are priceless to me. My son is more confident in himself and is making more friends. We can understand all the funny stories he tells us and when we can’t, he has the ability now to make himself understood. I cannot say enough of how much Ms. Kati has improved our lives!"

"Thank you for helping our son to find his voice. We truly can't express our gratitude enough."

- A.P. from Marlton, NJ

"Miss Kati has done a wonderful job with our 3 year old daughter, Mackenzie. Their weekly ½ hour session has increased Mackenzie’s ability to clearly communicate. The last 3 ½ months have made a remarkable difference that is evident to our entire family. I highly recommend CDSLP to everyone in need of speech therapy. Miss Kati is awesome!"
