Beyond Words Speech & Language Services

After nearly 22 years, Beyond Words (previously More Than Words) is closing its doors. Thank you to the Long Beach community for your support. Thank you to all who entrusted us with your children- it was truly a privilege to partner with you in helping your children. And thank you to all the wonderful therapists that worked for/with me- your dedication is what made this practice a success, and such a special place to so many families!

With a grateful heart, I say goodbye!
