“Satisfied of the service”

I'm grateful that Better Speech was recommended to me. With the pandemic going on, we can't risk sending our child to the clinic. We found out that doing the sessions at home works best for us. I didn't think it was possible at first, but later realized that it's as effective as in-clinic therapy. This company has exceeded our expectations in terms of service and Johanna, our daughter's therapist, is doing such a great job helping her. Thank you!

I only had 1 therapy session but was charged for 5 weeks because I couldn't cancel my subscription. Customer support will purposely ignore your calls/emails. Website purposely misleads you into thinking you're paying per session when in reality you're being charged weekly. They make you fill out a form if you want to cancel your subscription, causing further inconvenience. Be prepared to pay an additional week or two then you sign up for because they will purposely wait a few days before stopping your subscription.

Thank you for your excellent service. We are happy that my child's speech is now more developed. At first, I was hesitant to register my son for the program because he's only 5 years old. I thought my son would not pay enough attention to the speech therapist as the therapy sessions will be done online. Gladly, Better Speech has well-experienced therapists in handling kids like mine, so I gave it a shot. My son shows a lot of improvement since then and became more confident to communicate with us verbally. Highly recommended. Thanks again!

My little son had a wonderful experience with his therapist. It was a good match from the start. Our initial session went out well and I am surprised how my son responded to the online speech therapy. I can see that he's looking forward to the session each week. What I admire most about our speech therapist is she makes every session fun- no wonder my little son is ecstatic and glued to every therapy session.

The therapist I had was actually good. And what I learned was helpful. Signing up was weird though. The lady I had for a consultation call tried to get me sign up and pay for the service before I got off the phone. I politely declined, and unfortunately signed up anyways. My first session want bad, Thought I was too busy to justify continuing to use this service. They tried getting me on a call to cancel. I was busy, and had zero desire to waste my time. Yet they insisted I was "Required" to hop on a call to cancel.

Honestly, avoid these people. They come across as desperate.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T.
Seriously, the therapist I got was good. but these people are a headache to deal with.

Hello, I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced while attempting to cancel your membership. Just as you initially joined Better Speech through a Consultation Call, we have a requirement to review session notes and other treatment materials before proceeding with your cancelation hence, the need to schedule a Therapy Review call. Please note that your feedback is appreciated. This will help us improve our processes to serve you better.

We had 10-12 sessions with a Better Speech therapist for my 10-year-old son who had a few sounds he was still struggling with. My son loved his therapist and was excited about their weekly sessions. The online/virtual approach was perfect for our busy schedule. We're so happy about the increased confidence in speech my son now has as a result of being easier understood. Highly recommended.

Tip for consumers:
Give child a quiet place to participate. Provide a good microphone/headset.

Never link your credit card to this company. It is a total scam. They charged me twice for sessions I never reviewed. I had to call and write to get it refunded. Two month's later, another two charges posted on my credit card for sessions I never even signed up AFTER I have cancelled my subscription completely a month ago!

This is not a legitimate business.

I was very lucky to be matched with my speech therapist Lisa. She was very adept at recognizing patterns within my speech even if they weren't very obvious. Some of it I am not even aware. She then assigned me with homeworks to ensure that I am also helping myself improve even outside the therapy sessions. My speech has improved in a way that I thought not possible.

I have a toddler son who has speech delay and and I'm worried that he won't be able to catch up when he starts schooling. I looked for a speech therapist online and I'm glad to have found a therapist that has specialized training in working with children with speech and language delays. We just started his sessions, so I'm still on the look out for improvements. Thank you!

We had a couple of sessions with Better Speech, and were getting charged the recurring $59.6 months after cancelling, they are trying to retroactively bill me for sessions that never occurred. I've had to dispute charges with my credit card company and it has been impossible to get someone on the phone to resolve the billing issue. Even after the dispute went through and I got refunded - 2 months later they charged me AGAIN and i'm forced to do this whole charge dispute dance again. Save yourself the headache and avoid.

Sad, I thought it was a legitimate business. Paid for 1st session which therapist cancelled during Thanksgiving week. I called after holiday and emailed x 3 with no response. On December 10th they charged my credit card for another session. I filed complaint with Speech Therapy in NC. They are not listed with Better Business Bureau. Do not use or trust them.
