"Need help? Hurry down to The Speech Center and meet Jennifer Bills and her friendly, competent staff. I did, and in 2 1/2 months my life took a big change for the better.
In October of 2006, I was rushed to the hospital, put in ICU, and diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. After a month in the hospital, I returned home thinner and very weak. I couldn't swallow or eat, had trouble breathing, speaking, and had double vision. I was taking several medications around the clock, needed additional care 24/7 and had nurses and therapists on a weekly basis for nearly three months. After three months, the therapists felt they couldn't do anything more for me. The home health care nurse was making out papers to discontinue service and suggested I contact Jennifer at The Speech Center. The nurse made the call and an appointment was made.
My first appointment was an evaluation and suggested plan of treatment which included a swallow test at RVMC. I failed! I couldn't swallow any of the test items. During the next two and a half months, 33 treatments and home exercises, my throat muscles learned to react in sequence. During that time of treatment, I progressed from not being able to drink a sip of water, to having lunch with Jennifer at McGrath's for my graduation.
I feel I have my life back again, thanks to Jennifer. To me she is known as 'My Angel' disguised as a speech therapist."
Sincerely,

"Our experience with The Speech Center has been incredible. We chose to use their services as a supplement to the speech program at our daughter's school when her progress had hit a plateau. The improvement in our daughter's speech was noticeable within the first month of us coming to The Speech Center. We love that she was taught that she controls her speech and her speech does not control her. She is so much happier and less stressed about trying to be heard. We are so impressed and thankful to the staff at The Speech Center and look forward to utilizing their services for many years to come."

"Our son, Bryce, began therapy with Jennifer when he was just a little guy. That's why we were so excited when we found out that The Speech Center was opening up - Bryce could see Jennifer again! Out of our son's many disabilities, his severe stutter is the thing that is the hardest for all of us. Bryce has seen many speech therapists over the years, but Jennifer is the one who has helped him the most. She equips him with his 'speech tools' to gain better fluency. She has also helped him to obtain the SpeechEasy fluency device, which we are very hopeful about. Thanks Jennifer!"
