District Speech and Language Therapy holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating based on 164 reviews, with the owner responding to seven percent of feedback. Customers frequently praise the clinic's accessibility, noting that scheduling appointments is straightforward and communication is clear. Therapists are described as knowledgeable and patient, often tailoring sessions to individual needs for children and adults dealing with stuttering, articulation delays, or voice disorders. Recurring themes highlight the therapists' ability to build rapport with young clients and provide practical home strategies. However, a small number of low-star reviews criticize the use of repetitive, toy-based methods and express disappointment when therapists discontinued care prematurely without achieving expected progress.

We worked with Lee Morra from District Speech for several months. We were concerned about sudden intense stuttering with our three year old. Lee was clearly very knowledgable about language development, including signs of cognitive issues, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. He gave us an arsenal of tips and games that really resonated with our family and helped us work through tough days. He was warm and playful with our three year old. Though normally shy, she opened up super quick!
The office is organized, responsive and flexible. They send email reminders for appts. They didn't charge me when i cancelled less than 24 hours in advance. Highly recommend!

Mr. Lee is phenomenal! Our son had a speech delay due to multiple ear infections and has been seeing Mr. Lee for the past nine months. Mr. Lee is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Our son felt at ease with him instantaneously and considers him one of his best friends! Our son’s speech and articulation has improved dramatically, and could not be more happy and grateful to Mr. Lee!

One of their speech pathologists, Lee Morra, is excellent. He has been helping my fiance for the last 2 years recover from speech stutter, caused by adult conversion disorder. He is patient and an excellent listener. He is very flexible and able to adapt to each patient's needs, and provides top quality care virtually or in-person.

After a TBI, I was referred to District Speech. I really had no idea what to expect since I didn't appear to have any speech issues. After just a short time with Ariel, I realized I needed this more than I could have imagined. While having challenges with Executive Functioning and occasional aphasia, Ariel consistently works with me in understanding my challenges, providing compensatory strategies, and working with my neurologist and others to coordinate care. I'm so appreciative of Ariel's expertise and providing it in a supportive and kind manner. Ariel and Katie, the Office Manager, have made the long recovery from an accident, not only positively impactful but a pleasure.

Sophie Edwards is phenomenal! My child loved working with her and she made significant progress quickly. Sophie helped her achieve her goals in a way that her previous work with two well-respected SPs had not. Highly recommend!!

Mr. Lee Morra is a Speech Language Pathologist at District Speech and Language Therapy whom I sought the help of for my adult stuttering disorder. My sessions, thus far, have been smoothly progressing due to his distinct personality traits and adherence to a patient-centered treatment approach.
Mr. Morra is a good listener; he is very meticulous and attempts to address all aspects of the disorder. He adopts a multidisciplinary perspective to diminish the undesirable effect of stuttering on one’s self-confidence, social relationships, and career-related goals.
Moreover, he is grounded and versatile fostering a safe environment for easy communication and constructive feedback from patients. His receptiveness and responsiveness to his clients’ needs permits constant adjustments to be made to the treatment plan, so that it closely aligns with the clients’ objectives and capacity for execution. Furthermore, Mr. Morra, is patient and supportive of diverse, at times opposing, evidence-based intervention techniques patients propose would be beneficial for their health. Additionally, he willingly embraces any skepticism clients have surrounding the efficacy of therapeutic strategies and extensively spends time to bolster their assurance.
I strongly encourage anyone who is struggling with stuttering and is unable to control its unwanted influence on one’s mental health, human connections, and life ambitions to seek help, but more importantly, to seek the right type of help. Not only is Mr. Morra, forthcoming, approachable, and affable, but he is very honest about treatment outcomes, considering individual variability; thus, aiding his patients in setting appropriate expectations.

Wow! Wow is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of this practice. My daughter works with with Gena and we couldn’t have asked for a better therapist. My daughter views therapy as a reward and actually skips into the building. Gena works tirelessly to make sure my daughter is excelling in speech inside and outside of the office. This place has been a Godsend!
