  • What truly sets Tim apart is his empathy. He is truly able to understand our son’s communication challenges and was able to connect with him. He has made a significant and positive impact on our son’s life, and our son calls him ‘Uncle Timothy’ to this day.

  • Tim has not just been our son’s speech therapist, he’s been a true partner for our son’s growth for almost 3 years. He has helped to allow our son to successfully communicate among his various social circles. Most importantly, he’s built strong trust with our son who is more comfortable opening up to Tim than he is with us. I can’t recommend Tim enough for anyone looking for a trusted advisor and speech partner for their little ones.

  • Tim always makes speech a positive experience for my son—he strikes a great balance between having fun and getting a lot of work done. He is great at moving between activities and skills within the same session to keep it engaging. Tim knows how to challenge my son for the next steps and skills, build confidence, and give specific feedback so he knows how to move forward. Would absolutely recommend Tim to anyone seeking private speech-language therapy!

  • Tim Flynn has helped our son navigate his feelings around stuttering and we are mostly happy with the help our son has received with his confidence and self-esteem not becoming hindered because of his speech. Tim has been an excellent resource in this area and we have been very pleased with his communication and professionalism as well. Highly recommend.
