"My 14 year old daughter, Maggie, loves to sing, but she was constantly losing her voice and having a painful throat. Choir and music lessions were very frustrating because she couldn't participate. She was diagnosed with early nodule formation by an ENT doctor, who examined her vocal cords. Maggie then started speech therapy with Ann Kulichik. Ann was very knowledgable and knew exactly what to do with Maggie. Ann took objective measurements, which progressively improved with Ann's recommendations and exercises. Although it would take us 1 hour to travel to see Ann, Maggie and I felt that Maggie was successfully learning how to protect and use her vocal cords effectively. Visits with Ann were always fun and interesting and building on the previous week's lesson. Ann always explained what she was doing. In a return visit to the ENT physician, we learned that Maggie's vocal cords are clear of nodules and normal! Maggie has learned life long skills to help her singing and has returned to participating in choir without limitation, thanks to Ann Kulichik!"

"My daughter came to akspeech unable to pronounce "K" and "G" words clearly. Ann spent all one hour playing with my daughter, teaching her the right way to pronounce clearly. My daughter looked forward to meeting Ann and playing with her, realizing little that she is learning to speak right. Today is her last therapy session, and her speech is more than 98% clear. I definitely recommend Ann to anyone."

"I want to thank you for the time you spent with my mother. You really made a huge difference in not only her speech and communication abilities - but in her whole outlook on her life and about herself. She really looked forward to working with you and wanted to be 'ready' for you each session. You obviously have a gift for doing your work so well and so compassionately. You brought a smile to my mother's face with your skills and their results."
T. Vazquez, Aphasia
"You care about what you’re doing. Because of you, I’ve got my voice back. Working with the spirometer and the voice exercises has got me singing!"

"[Your treatment] made a big difference. It gave me an uplift and put me where I wanted to be. It made me feel well again. I was overjoyed when you told me that I can now have regular meals. It’s affected my whole life."
Anne L., Swallowing Problem
"The speech therapy has been very productive, with positive results. Everything you have done has been beneficial to me. I’m speaking clearer and louder. My swallowing is much better too. Much easier to swallow."
John B., Parkinson’s disease
"I started off speaking really low. People couldn’t even hear me. They said “What?” to me a lot. Now they stop and talk to me and show they understand me. I’m very proud now. I feel better about myself after all the hard work I put into it. I’m going to keep doing this."
Liz, Multiple Sclerosis
"The memory therapy made me feel calmer. Makes me feel blessed with the gifts I have been given, in socializing and sharing my life with others. The blessings I have received have given me strength."
