“Together we can make a difference”

"Robyn has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. When our 18-month-old was diagnosed early with autism, we knew we had a rare window of opportunity to turn her around. We couldn't have done it without Robyn's diligent help. In fewer than six months, Eva has increased her vocabulary from four words to more than a hundred and fifty. But it's not just about numbers. Robyn has helped bring our daughter back into "our" world, where she laughs, plays, interacts, and communicates her needs. It is clear that Eva loves Robyn. With so much remarkable progress, we cannot wait to see what the next six months holds..." ~ Peggy T.

"Robyn did such a wonderful job with my daughter, Emily. She spoke maybe ten words when she first started with Robyn, and in just 10 months she increased her vocabulary tremendously, was speaking full sentences, and was easily intelligible. My daughter loved seeing Ms. Robyn! I was very impressed with her work." ~ Jennifer C.

"Robyn Drothler is an outstanding Speech Therapist. I have three four year olds and she has been brave enough to tackle them all! Robyn is strict, although the kids have a lot of fun with her, she expects the children to sit down and pay attention. I think that's why she is so successful, she has the right combination of work and fun! We noticed an improvement in our children very early on. I credit Robyn with my children's larger vocabulary and clearer speech. I would highly recommend her to any parent." ~ Corlette G.

My son has made tremendous improvement just within 3 months of working with Robyn. My son jumps up and down and is so excited when Robyn's car pulls in the driveway. He is always waiting at the door for her. I would recommend anyone to her. She is Great!!!!!! ~ Rachel S.

From the start, Maryelizabeth responded to Robyn like she had to no one else. It was so exciting to see her trying to work with Robyn! She felt appreciated and supported as Robyn always tried to make her sessions with my daughter enriching and fun. ~ Marilyn W.

Robyn has been a wonderful influence on our daughter with her constant encouragement & warm nature. We have seen her blossom since starting speech therapy. Robyn has brought out the best in our daughter. ~ Angela & John S.

My son really looks forward to Robyn's visits. She had helped him increase his attention span as well as improve his verbal communication. We are very pleased with our son's progress. ~ Kimberly F.

Robyn has been working with our son only a couple of months. In just a matter of weeks his verbal confidence has sky rocketed! It's apparent he enjoys using his broader vocabulary! He works so hard to say words correctly, rarely using his unrecognizable jargon. His improvement is so dramatic in such a short amount of time. I know it's because Ms. Robyn is so patient, encouraging and makes learning so exciting!!! ~ Janice S.

Tristan was 2 and a half when Robyn started working with him. Nothing but gibberish was coming from his mouth. It took a couple of weeks, but when he got used to their visits I started to hear him try to say words. I was able to see an intelligence that I did not know existed watching them play together. Thank you Robyn for starting the wheel in Tristans head. ~ Brittany R.

My son was non-verbal when he began working with Robyn. She has been instrumental in his language development and acquisition of beginning learning- shapes, colors, animals, etc. He is not the same child that I once knew- he has blossomed into an inquisitive toddler who can carry a conversation and ask questions about the world around him-amazing for a child on the Autism Spectrum. I attribute his tremendous progress to working with Robyn and I consider her time with him as his most essential therapy! ~Samantha Ryan

Ms Robyn helped my son for over 2 years. She helped Matthew's speech with his cleft lip. His speech improved so much that by the time he got into Kindergarten he didn't need speech therapy anymore. Ms Robyn has made a positive difference in my son's life. I am forever grateful. ~Sincerely, Shelley Worrall

Robyn was brave enough to tackle the speech issues of each of my quadruplets! Working with high order multiples is a huge challenge! Robyn not only rose to the challenge, but truly impressed my entire family. Although she did work the children very hard she also made it very fun for them. My children would run to the door in excitement whenever Robyn would come. I noticed a difference in their speech right away. My son Todd was very advanced for his age, however had a problem expressing himself. Todd wanted to tell us how he felt but his speech was so muddled that he would just scream in desperation. Robyn changed all of that! Todd began to communicate and shocked us with just how advanced he really was. All the quads are speaking very well and very clearly thanks to Robyn. Now the problem is trying to keep them quiet! Robyn taught the kids so much and they had so much fun with her! I know that their success in school has everything to do with the great foundation she provided!

~Corlette Gantt.

When our 2 year old was barely saying a word we recognized, we decided we really needed to get him help. We had him medically evaluated and he was diagnosed as "speech delayed". We found Robyn at Advantage Speech through a friend's recommendation and we couldn't have been happier with her. She was able to work well with our son for almost a year and he has improved tremendously!!! We highly recommend Robyn to anyone seeking speech therapy for their child.
