“I am pleased to recommend Susan Kasdorf as a candidate for your consideration. We have a unique professional relationship that has developed over the past 22 years.

She also is often the first step in identifying children who may be on the Autism spectrum. Following the screenings she provides written results to their parents, handouts about topics related to speech and language development, and information and options for follow-up as indicated.

Ms. Kasdorf has also participated in our school's EU program for preschool teachers by providing in-services to preschool teachers for their professional growth and development. We have, collaboratively with Ms Kasdorf, offered community parent education workshops about speech and language development and disorders as well as about language developmen literacy. Ms. Kasdorf is a dynamic speaker who engages her audience, provides invaluable information. and speaks with knowledge and compassion.

I know of Susan's talents as a therapist. I have seen the exceptional work that she has done with students at different age levels. She has a brilliant way of reaching the children and moving their progress at a very successful rate. She has a great relationship with the parents and helps instruct them on skills to improve on in the home setting. We have seen the success and remarkable changes in the children who have had therapy with Ms. Kasdorf.”

“I have had the pleasure of supervising Susan Kasdorf for the 2011-2012 school year. I am the Assistant Principal in charge of Special Education at Fullbright Elementary, where Susan was assigned to work there one day a week as the school' Language and Speech Pathologist.

From the beginning of our working relationship, I was impressed with Susan's knowledge about Language and Speech. Not only was her expertise evident after working with us for a short time, also clear was her genuine concern for the progress of all her students on her caseload. Susan is compassionate and cares immensely for the population of children that she serves. At IEP meetings, Susan is always prepared to present her information. The manner in which she interprets the information so that it may be understood by parents and the other IP team members is to be commended. Once Susan feels that her data is understood, she offers parents and teachers concrete, usable suggestions that they can use with their children in order to complement and increase the success of her therapy.

Susan has excellent communication skills and regularly consults with me about her students' progress and other issues that may need to be addressed. Since we see each other so seldom, Susan knows the importance of addressing issues as they may arise. If necessary, Susan will not hesitate to email or call me in order to keep me abreast of any issue that may need my immediate attention. Susan also collaborates effectively with all staff in order to help Fullbright's students achieve their Language and Speech goals. I appreciate what Susan has done for the students of Fullbright Elementary. Her service has been excellent and I would fully recommend her services to any school team who may be in need of a professional, dedicated, and reliable Language and Speech Pathologist who wants to make a difference in children's lives."

“I am a professional nanny and have been lucky to have met Susan through one of my most treasured families. She has worked with multiple families I have worked with, and she is the real deal! Her main focus is the child and she offers support for home practice to help the child/family in every case. Her home office is very welcoming and calming, which is a huge importance to a child or family that is not comfortable in a hectic environment with bright lights and other intimidating factors. Her approach is very unique, and the results show in a very short period of time, in my experience. I was fortunate enough to partake in a seminar she gave today, and  I felt inspired to share a yelp review. She changes lives! I've seen it!”
