Neil’s OHVA Speech Pathologist is working with him on articulating better, and changing inflection of tone….with the use of commands to the puppy. I can tell you that we have the most amazing SLP. To work that into his goals, is genius. We are so impressed with HelloHero.

Parent at Ohio Virtual Academy

My son’s Speech Language Pathologist and his Occupational Therapist are so willing to listen to my input, incorporate my suggestions, and address my questions. The OT he works with thought of very creative, new approaches for his needs. Using my son’s email summary of his weekend as a basis of his speech goals, while she gets more insight to him. All of this will help my son reach his goals faster…and feel he’s working with people that share his interests.

Kristina S., Parent

HelloHero makes it possible for my son to receive valuable information, instruction and learning from the safety of our own home. Wesley’s weak immune system makes him susceptible to germs, bacteria and viruses so not having to take him to school or a local hospital is ideal. This has been an answered prayer for me and my family. I’d like to thank HelloHero for enabling my child to be the best he can be.

Tina K., Parent

I am very grateful and appreciative of the therapist, Mrs. Amy S., and all the work that we have done together. I know that she really cares for my son and I and she has really tried to connect with him and help me find ways to get his behavioral issues under control while also trying to teach him ways to communicate with us. My experience with the people at HelloHero has been wonderful over the past five months and I know that our time together will continue to be a great and wonderful adventurous experience.

Paul D., Parent

I am happy because my child is happy. He loves his sessions and therapists.They are always so positive and yet correct him in a kind way. Even when we’ve been given substitutes they connect with him quickly and provide a productive session. I never have to force him to go to his sessions he willingly goes and is usually early. It has been a wonderful experience.

Yedda J., Parent

Overall great experience, we love the therapist and her willingness to help. My son has applied the learned listening techniques when we are reading and has became more motivated.

Sheenika M., Parent

Our Therapist Amy Portenlanger was great. She saw 2 of my children who are completely different and she was able to help them exactly where they needed. She was always professional and friendly. So pleased to have her as a resource!
