Providing Outpatient Speech & Language Therapy in Sarasota

“

I can't even tell you how many nights I spent crying when looking up videos of kids with Apraxia and seeing how no one in our family, not even my husband understands him. Oh we just could not believe that he went from saying "ooo uuuuu eeee" to full words. Sertoma Kids gave our family the greatest gift, a son, a brother, a grandson who feels like he is just like any other kids around him. Now even strangers understand him too. His preschool bus driver always tells me how Max says look at my muscles. Max's life is completely changed now, he feels confident talking to others. All this was possible because of the generosity of Sertoma Kids. I am so thankful to all of you, to Ms Pam, for making my son a happy and confident child. I truly hope that one day when our kids are all grown, my husband and I will be able to give back and be able to help other kids receive the special gift of speech! Thank you again so so much!!!

My son has been seeing Mary Lisa for speech therapy for the past few months and he loves it. His speech has improved tremendously and he has so much more confidence now. He loves coming to his sessions because she makes it so much fun for him!

Coming to the Seratoma Kids has allowed my child to boom from being severely speech delayed with little to no words and unable to express themselves to being able to communicate to the best of his abilities. I am eternally grateful for Valerie Ealey and the dedication, skill, resources, and time she has taken with my child. Their progress and love of visiting her is the best highlight of attending the facility.

We are so thankful for Pam and Sertoma Kids! Pam was such a big part of our son's developmental journey. He came to her all closed up in his shell, with significant speech and developmental delays. Pam was always so kind and patient with him and with our family. She was a constant source of support and encouragement and helped us navigate this process with him. Pam's work with our son made a huge difference in his life. He is a different child now, speaking up a storm, socially engaged, and doing so well at school. We are truly grateful for this experience.

My son Colt has multiple disabilities and getting insurance to cover multiple therapies and therapists has been difficult. As a single parent of a child with special needs, finding Sertoma was life changing for us. I work in special education and understand the importance of therapies. Before finding Sertoma, I was having to pick and choose which therapy was most important each month because I was unable to afford everything that he needed. This made me feel terrible as a parent that I couldn't provide him with all of the opportunities he needed in order to help him learn to walk and talk. Sertoma has been a life saver for my son Colt and me.
