    I cannot express how grateful and rewarding my experience with Brooklyn Letters has been. Her tutor Ms. Daria is so knowledgeable, amazing, kind and awesome. My daughter has made so much progress in Literacy and Math and it's all … More thanks to Ms. Daria. I know my daughter is sad that she can no longer work with Ms. Daria, as she looked forward to their sessions every week. Thank you again!

    Nicole has been an amazing therapist!! She played a tremendous role in our daughter’s speech progress and overall development. She has come such a long way and we are so happy with the therapy she received!
  • Avatar Colin Peters ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much! She’s simply amazing and we can’t say enough how great she is. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone, without hesitation. Thank you so much for connecting us with her!
  • Avatar Heather Liljengren ★★★★★ a year ago
    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!
  • Avatar Brigid Bower ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.
  • Avatar Duygu Başaran ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Brooklyn Letters was recommended to me through a friend's speech therapist friend in NJ. The articulation evaluation for my daughter went well. We were pleased with Kristin's services.
  • Avatar Kelley Peters-Patel ★★★★★ a year ago
    Melissa was wonderful. Our daughter warmed to her immediately and by the time she left, had already started "practicing" some of the techniques Melissa had shown her. I will not hesitate at all to reach out to Melissa again, should … More the need arise.
  • Avatar R Elmore ★★★★★ a year ago
    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.
  • Avatar Christine Weiher ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We were amazed with Allison! She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. … More I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Avatar Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.
  • Avatar Jacob B ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife. She provided thorough and informative updates on our son's progress and which exercises she was using with him, so we could reinforce what she was teaching him. All in all, we had a fabulous experience with Christie and would highly recommend her.
  • Avatar Jessica C ★★★★★ a year ago
    Theo was wonderful and his work with my son has produced some progress. I am grateful for the services Theo provided.
  • Avatar Melissa Stevens ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Highly recommend Jill. She is a total pleasure to work with. After a few months working with Jill, my son is reading above grade level and LOVES to read. Mission accomplished!
  • Avatar Demet Evren ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Paige was great and we had been really happy with her. I would highly recommend her! I recommend Brooklyn Letters to whomever asks for a speech therapist.
  • Avatar Jeizel Rosenthal ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Isabel was WONDERFUL and our son absolutely adored her, and he is making great progress with his reading and writing.
  • Avatar Lesley Duval ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Theo was fantastic with our 4yo son. We were very worried that his progress would fall off when we had to switch to remote sessions, but Theo kept our son happy and engaged through the screen. Highly highly recommend!
  • Avatar Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.
  • Avatar Travis Ricca ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I worked with Alina to enhance my pronunciation, tone, and pacing while communicating socially and in a work environment. She was great to work with and clear about goals and learning objectives. The improvement from day 1 has been tremendous! … More
  • Avatar Enrico Bermudez ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Cathy has been excellent with us and our son. We will sorely miss her. He has improved significantly with Cathy’s help. Cathy was a true partner with us, especially as we pursued additional help through our son’s school system.
  • Avatar Kayne Elisabeth Wilk ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We really loved working with Alina, she is so fantastic. Patient yet firm, and determined the best course of action very clearly and succintly for us. And it all transitioned so well to Zoom as well. I will definitely be back in touch for … More services for our other child after summer break!
  • Avatar Jen S ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Vera was amazing! My 11 yo daughter made progress so quickly and really looked forward to her sessions. She was kept motivated and engaged.
  • Avatar susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.
  • Avatar Alicia Perez-Katz ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Sydney was great! Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self monitor and practice. Thank you!
  • Avatar Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.
  • Avatar Aisha Holder ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."
  • Avatar Andrea Peartree ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Theo is a wonderful Clinton Hill speech therapist. We were really pleased with him. Our son showed drastic improvement, not only in his speech but in his confidence.
  • Avatar mario costa ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Alexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well prepared and caring teacher for our 6 year old daughter. She has been able to improve and increase our daughter's confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied … More and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy. My wife and I, both of us are educators, feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Alexa's pedagogical skills. Alexa has had a big impact on our daughter literacy growth. Thank you Brooklyn Letters!
  • Avatar Lily Alt ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

Common Summer Challenges for Parents

For many parents, summer can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s a time for relaxation and freedom from rigid school schedules. On the other, that very lack of structure often brings new stress. Without regular routines, many children—especially those with speech or developmental delays—can experience regression in communication skills, behavior, and social engagement. Parents may struggle to keep their kids productively occupied while also maintaining progress made during the school year. 

Additionally, many school-based services pause during the summer, leaving parents unsure of how to continue supporting their child’s needs. This gap can widen developmental delays if not proactively addressed.

Why Choose Long Island Letters?

1. We Specialize in Pediatric Speech and Language Development

The professionals we work with are exclusively experienced, licensed speech-language pathologists who understand the specific needs of children. We know how to engage them, how to adapt therapy techniques based on their learning styles, and how to foster meaningful progress in a short time.

2. Therapy Happens Where Kids Feel Most Comfortable

We come to you. The therapists we work with provide services in your home, which helps children feel safe and supported in their own environment. This also makes therapy feel less clinical and more like a natural part of their day, reducing resistance and building consistency.

3. The Programs we Offer are Highly Customized

No two children are alike. That’s why every therapy plan we design is built from the ground up—taking into account the child’s developmental level, personality, family dynamics, and specific speech or language challenges.

4. Flexible Scheduling That Works Around Your Summer

We understand that summer is full of camps, vacations, and family activities. Scheduling is built to be flexible, with licensed speech-language pathologists offering morning, evening, and weekend sessions to accommodate your plans.

5. Parent Coaching Is Part of the Process

Our clinicians work hand-in-hand with parents and caregivers to provide strategies, tools, and feedback so they can support their child’s growth between sessions. When parents are equipped, kids improve faster.

6. We Focus on Building Confidence, Not Just Skills

The goal of our services is not only to improve how children speak, but how they feel about communicating. We foster self-esteem and encourage risk-taking in communication through positive reinforcement and engaging, play-based methods.

7. We’re Rooted in the Long Island Community

Long Island Letters has served families across Nassau and Suffolk counties for years. We’re not a franchise or corporate provider—we are a local group of professionals that truly understands the needs of Long Island families.

Why Have Speech Therapy in Summer 2026?

Long Island summer speech therapy

Summer 2026 isn’t just a break—it’s a golden opportunity to help your child thrive without the distractions of school demands. During the academic year, speech therapy often competes with homework, classes, and after-school commitments. But summer allows for focused, uninterrupted attention on speech and language goals. Progress tends to accelerate when a child’s therapy sessions are paired with a relaxed home environment and consistent parent involvement. 

Starting or continuing therapy during summer also keeps skills from slipping, so your child can return to school stronger, more confident, and better prepared to participate and succeed. Therapy during this season isn’t just maintenance—it’s momentum.

Children We Support

Children with Speech Delays

The professionals we work with help children who are late to talk or struggling to form words clearly. The approach we use starts with identifying the root of the delay—whether it’s motor planning, articulation, or receptive language. Our clinicians use proven techniques that match your child’s learning style, with plenty of visual aids, repetition, and play-based practice. The goal is to boost their ability to express themselves clearly and confidently.

Children with Language Processing Difficulties

These are kids who hear the words but struggle to understand or respond appropriately. Our clinicians work on comprehension, vocabulary building, following directions, and forming sentences. Sessions involve interactive storytelling, games, and real-world practice to build understanding in a natural way. Over time, they gain the tools to navigate classroom and peer conversations more successfully.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

Structured, consistent therapy is provided that supports communication, social interaction, and behavior regulation. The licensed speech-language pathologists we work with are trained in evidence-based techniques like PECS and AAC systems, where appropriate. Collaboration with families helps reinforce routines and communication tools at home. The result is progress that feels integrated—not separate—from your child’s daily life.

Children Who Stutter

Our clinicians help children build fluency and reduce anxiety around speaking. Therapy includes breathing exercises, pacing strategies, and confidence-building conversations. The focus is on helping them understand their stutter and gain control over it in a non-judgmental space. Parents are coached to support without pressure, ensuring therapy tools are used effectively at home and in social settings.

Children with Social Communication Challenges

These children may speak well but struggle with things like taking turns in conversation, reading body language, or understanding humor. We offer social-pragmatic therapy, often incorporating peer play or role-play scenarios. Sessions are built around real-life situations so kids can apply what they learn immediately. Our goal is for them to feel more connected and successful in their social world.

TESTIMONIALS

I recently worked with Long Island Letters to find a speech therapist and it was an overall positive experience.
BL was very helpful in getting an appropriate placement who schedule and expertise matched our family’s needs. It was great working with the therapist and we saw a great deal of improvement in a short amount of time and learned a great deal about how to support with continued progress outside of sessions.

FANTASTIC!
Danya was fantastic. Consistent, dedicated, and reliable. She has a hectic schedule, I realize, and I appreciated what feedback she could offer.
Thank you for being such a great resource.

Specialty Areas of Expertise

Long Island summer speech therapy

Early Intervention (Birth to Age 3)

Our clinicians work with toddlers showing early signs of communication delay. The sooner intervention begins, the better the outcome. The focus is on building foundational language skills through parent-led routines and play-based techniques. Early progress can have a lasting impact on learning, behavior, and social-emotional development.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

We support children across the spectrum with communication needs, social skills, and sensory-based strategies. We are trained in tools like PECS, visual schedules, and social stories. Our services focus on helping children express needs, reduce frustration, and build independence. Collaboration with families and other providers is key.

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

AAC tools are introduced and supported for children who are nonverbal or minimally verbal. These may include picture boards, speech-generating devices, or tablet apps. Training is provided for both the child and family on how to use AAC to improve independence and reduce frustration. The goal is always to empower a voice—however it’s expressed.

Articulation and Phonological Disorders

Our clinicians help kids produce sounds correctly and understand speech patterns. Sessions are fun and structured, with sound drills, games, and real-word practice. Over time, speech becomes clearer and more automatic. This helps with both academic success and social confidence.

Feeding and Swallowing

Picky eating, oral-motor delays, and safe swallowing are addressed. Feeding therapy includes sensory play, oral exercises, and guided feeding experiences. For children with medical or developmental issues, care is coordinated with pediatricians and nutritionists. Mealtime becomes safer and less stressful for the whole family.
