Parent Testimonials
Carrie is one of the most creative and innovative SLPs my son has worked with. ​My son worked with Carrie until he was 3 years old. He had a great year with her and his speech dramatically improved. Her genuine care for others is beyond this world.
She empowered me to take on more activities at home that would spark an interest in Noah. She has made an extremely positive impact on Noah's life, and we are forever grateful to her.​

Carrie and Suzanne have been an amazing support during our speech journey with our speech delayed twins. They have both been invaluable in helping us uncover what exactly is going on with our girl's speech.
Suzanne is passionate about what she does and takes the time to get to know her clients and create a treatment plan that will set them up to succeed and grow. Her compassion and enthusiasm for my girls' success is very encouraging as a parent!
Carrie has spent hours on the phone and in person answering my questions and discussing possible routes forward for my girls. She is responsive and cares for her patients.
If you are in need of a speech therapy clinic, I cannot recommend Carrie and Suzanne enough!

I want to recommend Carrie Balick if anyone is looking for an Apraxia -specific SLP. She was my son's therapist, and was honestly the BEST. She's an SLP who actually cares and was one of the best apraxia therapists we've seen to help our son. She came prepared for each session that was specific to our son and actually listened to my concerns. I really can't recommend her enough! My son is doing amazing and still talks about her.

My daughter was at a plateau with her language skills until she started meeting with Suzanne Lin at The ProAACtive SLP. She continues to progress and both her father and I are extremely excited. I highly recommend Suzanne and/or Carrie!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible impact Carrie had on our son’s life. When he started speech therapy with her at 26 months old, he was minimally verbal and had a hard time expressing himself. Thanks to Carrie’s patience, creativity, and unwavering dedication, he found his voice — and just one year later, he graduated from speech!
Carrie not only helped him develop the communication skills he needed, but also empowered us as parents with tools and support we could use at home. Every session was engaging, thoughtful, and perfectly tailored to his needs. Watching his confidence and vocabulary grow has been one of the greatest joys of our journey.

I especially want to highlight Suzanne Lin, who has been phenomenal from day one. She has this playful, warm approach that instantly engages the kids. My kid connected with her right away and feels so comfortable in her sessions.
If you’re looking for an amazing speech therapy clinic that truly understands AAC, ProAACtive SLP is the place to go.
