The Airplane Spoon

Weve been working with Gina and the Airplane Spoon team for a little over 4 months to help my son with his speech development. Gina is always friendly and patient and knows how to build rapport with my son without pushing him too hard. She is really great at creating a fun learning environment that would encourage my son to stay engaged and not get frustrated during the sessions. Weve been trying to get our son to sign more and with Ginas help and guidance he recently learned to sign a word all on his own which was really exciting for us to see. Since working with Gina weve also seen improvement in his receptive language and hes grown more fond of reading. One of Ginas biggest strengths as a SLP is astutely observing and picking up on areas of improvement and coming up with an effective strategy to address them. Gina is also very responsive to emails and always promptly and kindly answers all our questions outside of our regular sessions. As parents we really appreciate Ginas empathetic thoughtful and creative approach and its exciting to see our son make small but significant strides in his language development.

The team here is amazing and genuinely cares about the kids progress and well-being. Weve done Speech Therapy with Mari along with Social Groups and My Child and Me classes. Mari is incredibly friendly and my son absolutely loves his sessions with her Nina is also fantasticshes creative professional and has been such a big help on our journey. Im so grateful for everything theyve done for us

Our son has an oral apraxia and childhood apraxia of speech and he has been working with Nina to treat the former through myofunctional therapy techniques and with Mari to treat the latter. He has made so much progress and we cant thank the team enough for all of their support and willingness to implement a high-quality treatment program that has been specifically tailored to address our sons unique needs. Moreover as part of his myofunctional therapy Nina has been able to encourage his expansion of various food groups and he is always excited for his sessions Maris patience and adaptability has been instrumental to our sons progress and she has worked to incorporate our sons sensory needs into his speech sessions which allows him to remain engaged and attend for longer periods of time. Additionally we receive a lot of parent education that we greatly appreciate and have found to be lacking at other speech therapy practices. We are looking forward to participating in the social groups this summer that are now being offered

When our first child was diagnosed with hearing loss and developmental delay at the age of one the pandemic prevented us from receiving support from family members leaving us feeling overwhelmed and anxious. However we were fortunate to have found Sarina. Her weekly one-hour treatments have been super helpful and our son now two years old has shown significant improvement in both his speech and cognitive abilities. Sarinas approach to treatment is engaging and fun and our son never displays frustration or resistance during their sessions. We are truly grateful for Sarinas support and guidance and through the process we have learned valuable skills in enhancing our bond with our son through play interaction and encouragement.

I am very grateful that I decided to join the Airplane Spoon family From the moment I started working with them they made me feel like a part of their family. Nina and her entire team have been absolutely amazing and have had a profound impact on my daughters life. When my daughter was diagnosed with a 1 perceptive and expressive language I was really worried about her future. But with the help of Nina Gina and Amrin she has made great strides in her speech development.One of the main reasons I chose Airplane Spoon was because they offer therapy in Spanish. My daughter is growing up in a bilingual environment and I wanted her to have as much exposure to the Spanish language as possible. Nina and Gina have been instrumental in helping my daughter improve her Spanish skills while also supporting her in other areas like sensory and emotional health.The relationship between Nina Gina Amrin my daughter and myself is more than just a therapist-client dynamic. They are kind creative perceptive caring and empathetic and I feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives. They have helped my daughters speech development in a compassionate and holistic way and for that I am forever grateful.

Sarina was the only speech therapist who truly understood our childs needs and tried to listen to what he says. It has been a great journey so far with Sarina and The Airplane Spoon They have unique therapy skills experience and philosophy to address the difficult speechcommunication issues we have been dealing with in the past years.

Ms Nina was the first speech therapist who made the effort to understand and communicate with my child with complex medical needs. Therefore as soon as we found out about The Airplane Spoon we wasted no time in getting him enrolled for private Speech and AAC services at the center. Subsequently my other son was also deemed eligible for servicesand he has made substantial progress in remarkably less time due to Speech Feeding and Social-interaction therapies at The Airplane Spoon. We highly recommend The Airplane Spoon as we have discovered in Ms Nina not only a very experienced and intuitive therapist but also a reliable advocate for our kids and family

We worked with Sarina to improve our daughters feeding skills. We found Sarina to be extremely knowledgeable as well as a great communicator. Kids adore her and our daughter looks forward to her session each week. With her help we are seeing a marked improvement in our daughters feeding ability as well as mealtime behavior. We would highly recommend reaching out to Sarina for improving your kids feeding and communication skills.

Our experience with Sarina was absolutely wonderful. She helped my daughter and I enjoy feeding together as well as validated all of my concerns and questions. Each session I saw improvement and felt more confident in helping my daughter. Sarina was extremely knowledgeable supportive and communicative throughout our journey -not to mention great with my daughter. Thank you Sarina

Sarina is an experienced caring and collaborative therapist. As an educator who has worked with handfuls of SLPs I can attest that she is truly one of a kind. Sarina establishes meaningful connections with all her clients and their parents. Children adore her and are creatively motivated through each session. Sarina is an asset to any family needing assistance or resources while navigating a childs developmental needs.
