We decided to ask for a speech language therapist review for our son as he was non verbal at 18months old. He was also very sensitive to many things including people in general, had frequent melt downs and lacked the ability to communicate. We got an appointment pretty quickly with Ezmi who is an SLT. She was amazing. Our son made it very difficult for Ezmi to approach and assess him, but she worked around it and she listened very well. She didnt down play our concerns. She was attentive, and that was reflected in her thorough and accurate report of him. She agreed with us regarding the concern of possible autism, and referred him to Child Development Centre. Our son is now almost 3 and formally diagnosed with autism via CDC. Ezmis report helped a lot in the otherwise potentially long process. We are still facing a lot of challenges, but are very grateful to receive the help he needs this early. We were also given useful strategies to improve his speech and communication skills, which we are still using to date with some success. He is now able to respond to certain keywords, have interactive plays with us and can sometimes use a word to tell us what he needs (very occasionally). This is a huge deal for a child with autism at this age! Highly recommended!

Our daughter had difficulty with particularly her s and f pronunciation, we could understand her, but most other people couldnt. We found that the therapy was extremely helpful for her, and helped us with how to help her. Her improvement was very quick, far quicker than we had anticipated.

Kamini is GREAT! She has provided me with all the necessary resources to improve my speech. I was sceptical on seeing a speech therapist, because it's expensive. However, she has provided me with a plan where I don't need to see her as often. This demonstrates that she has the best intentions, and just wants to help people. She has helped me gain a new sense of confidence, and I'm grateful for this. I would 100 percent recommend going to see Kamini at Cornerstone Therapy.

Ezmi has been a huge help for us. She has taken my 3 year old from not being able to put two words together to talking in full sentences within a few months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. P.
