Pediatric Therapy of Riverside

We were referred to Bridget by my son’s school and I will always be grateful for that. I knew my son’s speech was delayed but the idea of needing any sort of extra services was very stressful to this first time mom. If you have kids, you know what I mean. Bridget made me feel comfortable the moment I met her. She makes sure I know what is going on and gives me resources to help at home. I have been so impressed in my son’s progress in speech over the past year, even through the pandemic. Bridget somehow made speech teletherapy with a 3 year old work. She is flexible, knowledgeable and caring. I know she cares about my son and wants to see him succeed. I would recommend her to any parents looking into speech therapy.

Bridget is the best of the best, and her services have been an invaluable investment for our family! As a mom and experienced special educator/early intervention provider, I can be a tough critic when it comes to therapists. My standards are high because I understand that not all therapists are created equal and that the skill level and dedication of a therapist will have direct impacts on how (or if) a child progresses. When one of my own children presented with mild speech and expressive language delays, I began my search for a highly-qualified therapist. From the first time I met Bridget, she exceeded my expectations! Some previous professionals had difficulty identifying my son’s needs, but Bridget intuitively understood where he needed support and how to provide it. Upon initiating services with Bridget, my son immediately began to make progress; teachers, family members, and friends all commented on his improved language and intelligibility. Bridget spent time at the end of each session discussing what they had worked on and how we could carry over those skills at home. This was key in allowing us to maximize his learning opportunities and generalize skills across people and environments. After approximately two years of services, my son has made immense progress and, as a result, now demonstrates increased confidence and reduced interfering behavior. In fact, his progress has been so significant that he no longer needs weekly speech sessions. While we are so sad to discontinue services (because we adore Bridget!), we are also grateful to be at a point where we are comfortable with that decision. When a child makes so much progress that services are no longer necessary, that is the ultimate evidence of a fantastic therapist and a job well-done! Bridget is warm, dedicated, knowledgeable, creative, and consistently professional. I recommend her services without hesitation!

We are so incredibly thankful for Ms Bridget! She has been a huge part of our daughters speech journey and we have seen an incredible improvement over the last year! Ms. Bridget is kind hearted and has such a gentle approach to her work- highly recommend!!!!

Bridget is amazing! Finding a SLP for your child(ren) is daunting when there are an abundance of providers & you want the best for your child(ren) but rest assured Bridget is extremely skilled in her profession and is patient, kind and nurturing. My three year old twins see Bridget at their school. She worked with me in tailoring a plan that meets my goals. Bridget is an expert communicator and takes the time to send videos, worksheets and emails with visuals and instructions on what I can do to supplement my twins progress in expressive language at home. I really appreciate her effort in taking the time to follow up after each session as it makes all the difference. She is excellent in giving me the big picture goals and keeping me updated on my twins progress towards their goals. The thing I love the most about Bridget? She makes learning FUN! My twins adore Bridget (they will run & give her a hug when they see her and talk excitedly about how it’s their day to see Ms. Bridget) because she incorporates movement and play with learning and is patient and kind with my children :)
