A Word from Parents...
"Heather Scheer is a very skilled speech therapist and our son just loves her! He has been seeing her for 3 years and his growth/improvement has been wonderful to witness over the years. Heather’s approach to treatment reaches well beyond the weekly therapy appointment to include partnering with other service providers in our son’s life. As an example, she is an integral part of the IEP team and works closely with school personnel to ensure his treatment plan compliments and builds on what he is learning in school. Heather also ensures she stays current on treatment strategies and integrates different approaches into the treatment plan as appropriate. A recent example of this is her introduction of the iPad. Our son loves this tool and it has been a powerful way for him to hear how he sounds and work to improve his prosody and conversational skills. Lastly, we so appreciate Heather’s partnership on the complex and often frustrating insurance process. Not a fun part of the job I’m sure, but she is tenacious in her efforts to ensure accurate billing and reimbursement. Thanks Heather for all you do!" ~ Aris
"Hiring Heather to work with our son when he was diagnosed with autism was the best decision we have made for him. Therapists and treatments have come and gone over the years, but Heather has been a constant. She is very innovative in working with our son’s interests to motivate and engage him. Their sessions are fun and age appropriate, and they have a very positive relationship. Our son always looks forward to seeing her. She is always there for us to brainstorm new behavioral and social challenges as they arise, and our son has grown from an out of control, non verbal toddler into a charming young man. He continues to make strides and gain independence through the communication skills he learns working with Heather, and we are
optimistic about the possibilities for his future. Heather has been an amazing advocate for our son and our family. In the early years she helped us win an insurance appeal that has saved us countless income and enabled our son to receive services far longer than he would have otherwise. In addition to our initial insurance challenge she has been invaluable in wading through the
day to day insurance changes and unexpected issues. Heather’s experience working in a school district has helped us through many transitions, in developing IEP’s, and collaborating with district staff. She continues to explore new ideas and incorporates new technology such as iPad touch technology in to our son’s program. We have seen a marked increase in his conversational
skills and confidence communicating in the community since beginning work with the iPad. Our family and community have benefitted from Heather’s expertise, wisdom and compassion; she is exceptional and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Speech Therapist." ~ Ken and Carol A.
