As a result of my speech and language therapy work with children, schools and families in Hertfordshire I have had many letters of recommendation and thanks. Here is some of the feedback I have had:
“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your help, you have been absolutely brilliant and N has loved his weekly sessions… Both myself and his class teacher have been so pleased with his progress and have really noticed a difference in his speech.”

“E’s end of year report was wonderful – as always, we’re so grateful for all you do to help E go from strength to strength and for being so ambitious for what she is able to achieve. Thank you.”

“Sam helped me to build confidence in new social situations. I used to avoid starting conversations because I was anxious about things going wrong but Sam and I worked on fail safes so I was less frightened of having a go and it didn’t go wrong as much as I thought it would and if things did go wrong, I could scoop it back up again.”

“Sam was brilliant! She explained everything very clearly and did her best to uncomplicate the very complicated diagnosis and assessment processes. The actual assessment that she did with my son, at our home, was thorough but he seemed to find it fun and not at all hard work. Sam was very prompt in writing up and providing me with her subsequent report, which was easily understandable to me. Subsequently, Sam has liaised with my son’s school speech and language therapist and continued to help me navigate my way through the very confusing minefield of trying to get my son the right sort of help from the right source.”

“I am a mother to a 4 year old boy with additional need with no speech or sounds. I waited for NHS on a list but decided to go private and get him help sooner than later. I was recommended Samantha Amos thankfully she had space and we started straight away. This lady goes above and beyond her job she had my son making sounds and communicating with me so quickly and she cares and that’s rare nowadays. She was like a friend she gave me advice and helped as much as she could. My son isn’t fussed on many people but Sam connected so well with him he got excited to see her. This lady is by far the best speech therapist look no further. An amazing woman with a big heart. You’ve done so much for us and can’t thank you enough.”
Parent
“Thank you so much for getting her back on track. It means so much and we will be forever grateful for your time & expertise. Honestly, what you do is just amazing and the positive ripple effects to her learning and communication with our family unit are definitely felt.”

“I must say working with Samantha was an absolute pleasure. Professional at every meeting/consultation, excellent when dealing with parents … and providing a very high level of specialised advice, strategies and support for our vulnerable children … Her vast subject knowledge, skill and enthusiasm shone through making every visit a rewarding experience, which ensured our students were successful – and able to believe they would be and could be successful in the future which makes all the difference. We saw an improvement in self esteem and use of SALT strategies in our students within a matter of weeks. In regards to availability – Samantha was always on hand via email, telephone or available for school visits when we required assistance… Her support in annual review meetings, in submitting reports and in attendance was invaluable on several occasions. I would not hesitate in any way shape or form in recommending Samantha’s work…”
