Where every voice can find it’s wingsComprehensive speech-language and learning evaluations for children in Brooklyn and NYC, designed to bring clarity and direction - not just a diagnosis.
When something feels off but no one can tell you why.
Your child may be talking, reading, or learning, yet school feels harder than it should. Or your preschooler may not be saying much yet, becoming frustrated when they can’t express themselves or keep up with play and routines. In both cases, you’re left with mixed messages, unclear answers, and advice that doesn’t quite fit. You’re trying everything you can but something still isn’t adding up. You’ve searched for help, followed recommendations, and heard reassurances like “let’s wait and see.” You may even be receiving support, yet you’re left without clear answers and still wondering why progress isn’t happening.
The right evaluation changes everything.
My in-depth speech, language, and learning assessments are designed to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Rather than focusing on labels alone, I take the time to understand your child’s unique profile - their strengths, their challenges, and the patterns affecting how they communicate, learn, and engage with the world.
Serving families across Brooklyn and NYC, I translate uncertainty into insight and insight into a clear plan forward. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why certain skills aren’t coming easily, what support will make the greatest impact, and how to move ahead with confidence - no more guessing, no more waiting in the dark.
Hi, I’m Miri — We Need to Talk
There is nothing “wrong” with your child. Everyone deserves support that meets them where they are.
Children learn, process, and communicate in different ways. What is often perceived as a delay or difficulty is frequently a reflection of how a child’s brain works — not a flaw. When expectations or environments don’t align with a child’s natural way of engaging with the world, challenges can surface and be misunderstood.
Through a comprehensive evaluation, insight is gained into how each child operates, allowing support to be shaped to fit the child and creating an environment where they can thrive.

What you can expect:
✔ A warm, supportive space where children feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to participate

Sarah’s Story
When behavior
concerns were
really about
understanding
In primary school, Sara began struggling in the afternoons. While mornings went smoothly, teachers noticed incomplete work, distractibility, and behaviors that seemed out of character. Sara often relied on watching classmates to figure out what to do when instructions weren’t clear.
A comprehensive evaluation revealed auditory processing difficulties, explaining why listening and understanding became harder as the day went on. With this insight, Sara was given tools to self-advocate, and her teacher was provided with strategies to check for understanding.
Once support was aligned with how Sara processed information, frustration decreased, behavior concerns resolved, and confidence in the classroom grew.
Leo’s Story
From uncertainty
to clear direction
At 17 months, Leo was using only four words. By that age, children are typically expected to have a vocabulary of 50+ words and begin combining words into simple phrases. His parents felt something was off but weren’t sure what steps to take.
A comprehensive language evaluation provided clarity. It pinpointed exactly where Leo’s language development was breaking down and identified the type of support he needed to move forward. With a clear plan in place, Leo was guided to the right speech therapy services.
Within just four sessions, Leo made rapid progress and reached age-appropriate language milestones — giving him the wings he needed to communicate with confidence.
