    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.

What Voice Therapy Is

Voice therapy supports healthy vocal development, communication skills, and school readiness in children.

Voice therapy focuses on helping children develop efficient vocal habits, communication confidence, and stronger participation in academic and social settings. Services are designed to support speech and language development for communication and school readiness through structured, individualized instruction.

When Families Seek This Support

Families often seek voice therapy when communication development is not progressing as expected or when proactive support may help prevent future gaps.

Some parents notice early signs of difficulty with vocal quality, communication endurance, or classroom participation. Others pursue support proactively before concerns become more significant.

Many Long Island families begin support early rather than waiting. Proactive support helps prevent gaps from developing.

Families with children who are ready for more advanced instruction may also pursue enrichment-focused support to strengthen communication skills and classroom confidence.

How It Works

In-home voice therapy allows specialists to support communication development within a child’s everyday environment.

Sessions are delivered in the home whenever possible, allowing specialists to work directly with families in Long Island homes. This model promotes consistency, practical skill application, and ongoing family collaboration.

Support is tailored to each child’s communication goals, developmental stage, and academic needs.

When Children Benefit

Children may benefit from voice therapy when families have early concerns, seek proactive development, or want enrichment-focused support.

Support may be appropriate when communication skills appear slower than expected, when families want to strengthen school readiness, or when children would benefit from additional communication enrichment.

This approach is designed to support children with emerging needs while also serving families focused on maintaining progress and promoting continued growth.

Why Long Island Families Choose This

Many Long Island families prefer in-home support that aligns communication development with daily family routines.

Families throughout Long Island—including communities such as Upper Brookville, Roslyn Estates, Lloyd Harbor, Hewlett Harbor, and Old Westbury—often value the convenience and consistency of in-home services.

Long Island families frequently seek proactive support rather than waiting for significant concerns to emerge. This approach allows children to build strong communication foundations while maintaining academic and developmental momentum.

We provide voice therapy for kids in NYC for children experiencing hoarseness, vocal fatigue, vocal cord nodules, or other voice disorders that affect everyday communication.

TESTIMONIALS

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. 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.

Suzanne Ashman-Kipervaser literally helped my two year old son find his voice.
Words can’t describe what a magical gift that has been for him and for our whole family.
Around his second birthday, we had our son evaluated because he only had five or six
words and seemed to clam up every time we encouraged him to try out a new word.
Six months after working with Suzanne, my son is using 2-3 word phrases with a huge
variety of words (some of which I have no idea how he learned) and becoming a kid who
loves to talk and express himself. Suzanne does this incredible work in each session- she
is super purposeful about every interaction with a child. She models strategies that we can
then replicate and shows us how to push our son just beyond his comfort zone to ensure
continued growth. She does all of this with warmth and gentleness and has an awesome
ability to bring just the right engaging toys and activities. Suzanne maximizes every minute
of our session and time seems to fly when she is here. Our son’s face lights up every time
he seems Suzanne and she’s made the hard work he’s doing with his speech feel fun and
satisfying for him! We are so thankful to have found Suzanne!

WHAT IS VOICE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN?

Children rely on their voices every day to express emotions, interact with peers, and participate in school and play. When a child experiences hoarseness, voice strain, or other vocal challenges, it can impact their ability to communicate confidently.

Pediatric voice therapy is a specialized form of speech-language therapy designed to help children use their voices clearly, comfortably, and without strain. Therapy is personalized to each child’s developmental level and vocal needs and may involve playful, engaging activities that build healthy voice habits.

Licensed pediatric speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work with families across Long Island, offering in-home and virtual voice therapy sessions that support long-term vocal health—often avoiding the need for surgery or invasive procedures.

What Are Common Voice Disorders in Children?

Children can experience voice problems just like adults. These challenges may arise from overuse, medical issues, or behavioral patterns.

Functional Voice Disorders
Common in children who speak loudly, yell frequently (especially during play), or use improper breathing. These behaviors can lead to vocal fold swelling or calluses (nodules).

Organic Voice Disorders
Caused by physical changes in the vocal cords or larynx. Vocal nodules, cysts, or even paralysis (due to neurological conditions or surgeries) fall into this category.

Psychogenic Voice Disorders
Occasionally, a child may lose their voice or speak in a strained or whispery way due to stress, anxiety, or trauma. While less common in children than adults, emotional experiences can influence voice use.

Neurological Voice Disorders
These occur when the brain has difficulty controlling the vocal cords. Conditions like spasmodic dysphonia or paralysis can affect how the voice sounds and functions.

Voice Therapy for Kids

Types of Voice Therapy and Exercises

Treatment for voice disorders or voice therapy is generally categorized as physiologic voice therapy and symptomatic voice therapy. Physiologic voice therapy refers to treatments and voice therapy exercises that directly alter the physiology of one’s vocal mechanisms and aims to balance the three systems of voice production, which are respiration, phonation, and resonance.

Examples of physiologic voice therapy include:

  • Accent Method
  • Cup Bubble / Lax Vox
  • Stretch and Flow Phonation
  • Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
  • Resonant Voice Therapy
  • Phonation Resistance Training Exercise, to name a few.

On the other hand, symptomatic voice therapy is geared towards correcting irregular vocal symptoms. This may include lowering a pitch that is too high (and vice versa) or modifying a voice that is too loud or too soft. Symptomatic voice therapy uses voice therapy exercises that directly modify these symptoms. These techniques include:

  • Chant Speech
  • Amplification
  • Auditory Masking
  • Inhalation Phonation
  • Glottal Fry
  • Posture
  • Twang Therapy, among others.

Additionally, preparation is important before going into your voice therapy exercises to address specific vocal conditions. These preparations may include:

  • Breathing exercises (exercising your diaphragm or learning to better synchronize your speaking and breathing)
  • Relaxation activities to relieve tension
  • Posture or movement exercises to improve posture
  • Exercises for the mouth and jaw muscles, such as chewing movements or yawning and sighing on purpose

Understanding Pediatric Voice Therapy Sessions

Therapy for kids is adapted to be age-appropriate, fun, and motivating. It typically includes two main types of approaches:

Physiologic Voice Therapy for Kids

This focuses on teaching children how their voice works and helping them use it in a healthy way. SLPs introduce gentle breathing, phonation, and resonance activities that align with how the voice naturally functions.

🧩 Examples include:

  • Lax Vox (bubble blowing)
  • Stretch and Flow breathing games
  • Child-friendly adaptations of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD)
  • Animal sound imitation to promote resonant voice

Symptomatic Voice Therapy for Kids

These exercises target specific symptoms, like a high-pitched or raspy voice, and help children learn better vocal habits.

🧸 Techniques may include:

  • Chant-like speech for smoother phonation
  • Puppet play to encourage soft voicing
  • Auditory feedback games
  • Posture and movement-based play

Preparation Activities Before Therapy

Before jumping into voice tasks, kids are prepared with:

  • Breathing exercises using pinwheels, bubbles, or belly buddies
  • Relaxation stretches to release tension
  • Play-based posture games (e.g., “Statue Freeze”)
  • Silliness like “monster yawns” and “lion roars” to encourage full vocal use

Vocal Hygiene for Children

Voice Therapy for Kids

What is Vocal Hygiene for Kids?

Voice Therapy for Kids

Teaching kids how to take care of their voice is an essential part of therapy. It is made simple and fun!

🎈 Tips Often Shared by SLPs Include:

  • Drink plenty of water (fun water bottles help!)
  • Use a quiet voice when indoors or during quiet time
  • Avoid yelling or excessive whispering
  • Replace throat clearing with a sip of water or gentle humming
  • Encourage breaks from talking after play or performances
  • Treat underlying conditions like allergies, reflux, or frequent colds

Voice Rest for Children

Sometimes, children may be advised to rest their voice for a short time—especially after illness or vocal strain. Unlike complete silence, pediatric voice rest may look like using gestures, drawing, or even whispering with guidance from your SLP.

Your child’s therapist explains when and how voice rest is appropriate—and how to keep communication fun and stress-free during that time.

Pediatric Conditions Benefiting from Voice Therapy

  • Voice therapy supports children who experience challenges such as:
  • Chronic hoarseness or raspy voice
  • Frequent yelling or vocal misuse
  • Vocal cord nodules or swelling
  • Trouble being heard or understood in class
  • Weak or breathy voice
  • Difficulty singing or speaking loudly
  • Neurological issues like vocal fold paralysis
  • Behavioral voice disorders due to stress or trauma
  • Medical diagnoses including:
    • Parkinson’s disease (in rare pediatric cases)

    • Paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM)

    • Chronic cough or irritable larynx syndrome

Voice-Friendly Tips for Kids in School or Online Learning

  • Use a microphone during virtual classes
  • Keep water nearby for frequent sips
  • Use “quiet voice” reminders or visuals in class
  • Take voice breaks during lunch or play
  • Use music games or vocal warm-ups before presentations

Importance of Voice Therapy for Children

For children who love to sing, tell stories, or perform, a healthy voice is everything. Voice therapy helps:

  • Reduce vocal strain
  • Prevent long-term damage
  • Improve self-confidence
  • Encourage positive communication habits
  • Support learning and social development

By addressing vocal concerns early, therapy sets your child up for a lifetime of strong, expressive, and healthy speech.
