Build and Grow Development Speech Therapy

We have only been working with Build and Grow for a few months, and we could not be more thrilled. Our daughter has grown leaps and bounds since beginning therapy. Malka and her team are not only clearly intelligent, experienced and skilled, they create such a fun environment for therapy curated to each kid individually. They excel at helping the whole family learn how to encourage development, and lead with a reassuring mix of empathy, incisiveness and know-how. Without question starting work with Build and Grow is one of the most consequential decisions we've made in addressing our daughter's speech delay, and we count ourselves so fortunate to have Build and Grow as part of our daughter's team!

The speech therapists and Build and Grow are really unique in their commitment and skill. Catherine is so engaged and creative in how she works, my kids had a great time with her and learned so fast! She’s really skilled in her work and particularly gifted with younger children.

Malka is extremely knowledgeable in everything speech and development. She is able to speak and interact with each child on the level they need and is extremely personable. She has counseled me several times- whether it was something I needed to look out for or as reassurance of normal development. I highly recommend her for any social, speech, and developmental needs you may have.

Malka is amazing with children of all ages. She is so warm and personable. She is very intuitive and perceptive and understands children very well. She makes them feel comfortable and at ease around her. My kids love her! I highly recommend Malka.

She took his lead, played with him, and communicated with him in ways I never would've thought of. After each session, she gave us specific instructions on exercises to try with him, ways to coax speech out of him gently, trying different things. She was so, so creative in things we could try. This lead to his first word! After that, with regular help from Malka, our son was asking us for things, telling us how he felt, what he wanted - I can't tell you how helpful it was! Before we knew it he was
