I cannot express enough how fortunate we are to have Mrs. Pawasha as our sons speech teacher. Her dedication and compassion are truly extraordinary. From the very beginning it was evident that she genuinely cares about our sons progress and well-being.Mrs. Pawashas teaching style is not only effective but also incredibly patient and understanding. She has created a warm and nurturing environment where our son feels comfortable and motivated to learn.Whats even more remarkable is that her caring nature extends throughout the entire office. The entire team has been incredibly supportive and encouraging making our journey a collective effort.Thanks to Mrs. Pawasha and language essentials team our son has made remarkable progress in his speech development. We are immensely grateful for their expertise and the positive impact theyve had on our childs life. We couldnt have asked for a better speech teacher and support system. Thank you

From the very beginning the staff at Language Essentials have been organized responsive and professional. My daughter works with Paula Dumitriu for articulation and we feel so very extremely fortunate to have found her. My daughter has made more progress with Paula in a few months than she has in a few years elsewhere. Her techniques and home exercises are so effective that my daughters self-esteem has skyrocketed Priceless right Not only is Paula a phenomenal speech therapist she is so kind and warm. Many thanks to Paula and Language Essentials

My son has been going to Language Essentials for over 5 years. Earlier this year he started working with Ms. Asya who is a great therapist. She customizes her sessions to what works for my son and helps identify areas that will benefit my son in the long run. I have seen significant improvements in his conversation and comprehension skills. Ms. Asya has also given me several tools and guidance on how I can help my son at home. I am so happy she is working with my son. I also would like to give a shout-out to Nikka in scheduling. She has been a pleasure to work with and has been very helpful in finding schedule options for make-ups when needed and for when my sons schedule changed due to school. Thank you Ms. Asya and Nikka.

The center is located in a nice area in San Ramon. My son actually grew up in this center receiving speech therapy for 6 years. He came in speaking just a number of words now we cant stop him from talking. Very accommodating efficient and competent staff.

We started our journey with Language essentials San Ramon location very anxious and nervous regarding how speech therapy would help our son but thanks to the wonderful staff especially Andrea and Mrs. Palwasha we got the support we needed and knowledge on how best to help our son. Thank you Mrs . Palwasha for being our sons speech therapist and helping us navigate through this confusing and challenging situation Your calming presence and genuine passion for what you do as well as your love for all the kids that you work with comes through so clearly - my sons speech has significantly improved and even his teachers have noticed a big positive change in both his speech and behavior My son enjoys coming for his sessions and loves working with you

Great speech therapy services we worked with multiple therapists due to schedule changes and they are all amazing each in their own way and with their own strategies bringing the kid 2 and sometimes 3 times a week he is never fatigued or work out he comes and leaves happy. His improvement over the last year has been remarkable and they are all really warm and friendly. Highly recommend them .
