"My daughter has been seeing Mandy for a few years. Prior to this my daughter could not tolerate several textured foods. The older she got, the harder to develop these skills. I had been recommended Mandy through Kelly Dorfman and it was the best thing for my daughter. Her food palate has increases dramatically and the struggle is gone.

Mandy uses a unique approach that she has developed all on her own.
We owe a lot to Mandy. I highly recommend her and am available for any recommendation."

"Our son Henry has apraxia and because of this he was unable to communicate very much at all until he was over three-years-old.  Since he has been working with Mandy, we have seen tremendous improvements in his vocabulary and also his articulation.  Not only has she helped Henry immensely with his weekly sessions, but she has also helped us by giving us the tools to help him at home.  Each week Henry happily comes home with his “homework” from Mandy, which she designs specifically for him – always incorporating into the homework things that he likes.  She is engaging, creative, patient, kind and always willing to do whatever it takes to ensure each session is successful.  We are forever indebted to Mandy for opening up Henry’s world. "

"We now understand the reasons why our teenage son is a selective eater, and are thrilled with the progress he has made in less than a year. Mandy, affectionately known as the pizza lady in our family, has provided Daniel with the confidence and skills needed to try new foods. Mandy’s therapeutic techniques and warm and non-judgmental style are a winning combination!"

My two children have been receiving speech services from Mandy Hart for the past year. She is an excellent therapist, and has fantastic rapport with children of all ages. My son Michael, age 9, improved so quickly with her that he "graduated" after less than a year--but loved working with Mandy so much that he still misses going to speech! My daughter Emily, age 5, has severe articulation issues, but they are resolving so quickly with Mandy's help that it looks like she's likely to follow suit.

Mandy's lessons and methods are well-organized, creative, and clearly presented. This approach allows families to practice easily at home--resulting not only in the timely resolution of issues, but in some fun family time as well!

Mandy's warm, engaging manner with my children and her outstanding technical skills as a therapist are unparalleled among the many teachers we have had (and as a family with 4 children, that's a lot of teachers!). I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone looking for speech, drama, or eating therapy for their children.
