Excellent speech therapy for child. Learned in ton in just a few months. Very engaging activities.

As a father, clinician, and nutrition researcher I knew how to help others obtain the resources they needed to support... their children and family. That same wealth of knowledge and resources became difficult when trying to address the specific needs of my child. After running into many challenges while searching and calling a number of practices in the DMV region, we were finally referred to Voz Therapy and got connected to Dr. Ana-Maria.We spent the last year with Dr. Ana-Maria, and we have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience. Her comprehensive care model went above and beyond what we expected.Diagnosis: Dr. Ana-Maria conducted a thorough speech and feeding evaluation with my child. These extensive evaluations used a combination of history taking from our family’s experiences, physical exam techniques, and relied on evidence-based tools that assisted her in identifying the root cause and disruptive patterns in speech and feeding. Not only did her diagnosis provide insight but she also was able to communicate the concerns and plan of care with great detail and clarity for our entire family. Dr. Ana-Maria has built a collection of specialized subspecialists we were able to connect with to rule out any other concerns that may have been contributing to the challenges my child was having.Management: Dr. Ana-Maria has an amazing and organic way of connecting with youngchildren and it put our whole family at ease. We would watch Dr. Ana-Maria interact with ourchild and see them come to life and gain confidence in his speaking and feeding. She applied just the right amount of pressure to ensure our child could continue to excel each and every week. We also received step by step homework strategies to practice at home. Dr. Ana-Maria was also highly trained utilizing advanced speech and feeding skills include myo-functional therapy and the SOS feeding therapy protocols.Intangibles: After just a few weeks of therapy we began noticing drastic changes in my child’s speech and feeding challenges. Now after a year of therapy we have graduated from Voz therapy. We are honored to have had the opportunity to work with such a caring, skilled, and effective speech therapist and hope others can benefit from her practice as well.If you are looking for a practice that provides high quality, evidenced based, family centered approaches to treating young children with speech and/or feeding challenges. If you desire access to a group of therapists that emphasize and advocate for equity in and out of their practice in speech services. If you desire a practice that truly cares about our youngest children and invests the time, effort, and care to detail, look no further than Voz Therapy. You won’t be disappointed!leer más

My daughter was so lucky to find Voz. Everyone here has been wonderful. Ana-Maria met with us first and diagnosed my... daughter with a condition that is usually overlooked. For therapy, we worked with Jessica. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was so good to my daughter; coming to speech therapy was something she really looked forward to, because she viewed Jessica as her friend. Jessica could have fun with her, but she always made her work; Because of that, I have seen a great deal of progress in my daughter's speech in the 7 months we worked with Voz.leer más

Anna-Maria was such a gift to our family. My son started working with her during the pandemic. She was incredibly... engaging, always got down on the floor with him - and he was always excited to see her and the new games she would introduce to make learning fun! She has a way of working with kids that makes them respect and listen to her. She gave us a "report" after each session to let us know how it went and gave us some easy suggestions to incorporate into our day to day life. We saw a HUGE improvement through our work with her. Her office team was really accessible, and she was always quick to answer any questions. I was a little sad when it was time for us to "graduate" but she also was the first to let us know when he was meeting his milestones and we didn't need to keep coming. I cannot recommend Anna-Maria enough, and if we ever needed speech services again, we would call her.leer más

Dr Ana-Maria jaramillo is awesome and she’s the best speech therapist I ever seen with working with my son. My son was... talking completely jargon at the age of 2 Dr.Ana-Maria jaramillo got him talking and expressing himself. He asks for things and is saying more words then he was months agoleer más

Ana-Maria is an excellent speech therapist. She worked with my two year old who was non verbal when he started and... three months later he is talking non stop! Ana-Maria set goals and once they were met, she graduated my son from therapy. My son still asks me to take him to play with Ana-Maria! She is extremely warm and professional. I highly recommend VOZ therapy to anyone who might need it.leer más

I’m not able to express our gratitude to Anna Maria and Heyli for what they are doing to our son. We had a no speaking... boy of 3 years old in September with an Apraxia diagnosis. We have now a 3years and 5 months boy that can’t stop talking both in English and Italian. Lots of work made with passion and love. They made the difference and we are really grate for this hard work that they made. We consider both of them part of our family now.leer más

Dr. Ana is the best. My pediatrician was concerned because my toddler wasn’t meeting his speech benchmarks. Dr. Anna... caught him up in just three months, and now he is a little talking machine.Not only did Dr. Ana give me weekly activities to do with my son at home for his speech, but she is also a kid expert and was able to help with other facets of his development as well. He (and I) looked forward to seeing Dr. Ana every week.Highly recommend if you need a qualified and empathetic speech pathologist!leer más

Ana-Maria began working with my daughter at 14 months and made sure my 2020 baby met all of her milestones related to... speech. She’s professional, punctual, intentional, caring, and went above and beyond to give me all the tools I needed to succeed outside of the office. Ana-Maria didn’t hesitate when I asked her to coordinate with my daughter’s teacher so we were all on the same page about her expectations. When I needed advice on 2-year-old tantrums as a first time mom, she would send helpful articles and coach me through them. Above and beyond is actually an understatement. My daughter looked forward to her weekly visits to VOZ and was always greeted with a smile. She’d ask about Ana-Maria daily at times which is how I knew she was in good hands. On her last day I actually asked for advice on how to break the news that she no longer needed to visit the practice. Thank you so much for supporting my family through the most crucial time of her speech development! I couldn’t imagine having been on this journey without Ana-Maria and her wonderful team.leer más

Ana-Maria Jaramillo is a fellow SLP colleague of mine. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Ana-Maria over the past... year and a half. I have come to respect her knowledge as an SLP and passionate advocate for her patients. She continues to seek out the most current research in order to provide her patients with the best treatment for the best outcomes! This dedication is evident as she is currently pursuing her doctorate through Northwestern University. I often seek out her advice on a variety of topics. If you're seeking speech therapy services for your child, I highly recommend Ana-Maria and Voz Speech Therapy!leer más

Ana María is an amazing speech therapist and human. Her expertise, passion, and ability to build strong relationships... with children and families are superb. Our son, who has ASD, adored her and always looked forward to working with her. He made incredible progress in both English and Spanish and was able to transfer what he learned across environments. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her.Ana María es una excelente terapista del habla y ser humano. Su experiencia, pasión y capacidad para formar relaciones con niños y familias son de admirar. Nuestro hijo está en el espectro autista y adoró trabajar con ella, y demostró un progreso increíble en el hogar y en la escuela y en los 2 idiomas . Siempre le agradezco todo lo que hizo por mi hijo y recomiendo sus servicios a cualquier familia.leer más

Ana-Maria is a truly gifted speech therapist and wonderful person. My son came to her at two years old speaking very... few words. Now, he never stops talking. :-) My son looked forward to his weekly sessions and always talked about Ana throughout the week at home. Ana-Maria also gave me helpful tips to encourage my son’s language development at home. We will miss seeing her weekly so much!leer más

You will not find a better speech therapist than Ana Maria Jaramillo/VOZ Speech Therapy. Ana worked with my son for 2 +... years until he went from limited speech to fluent speech. She is incredibly dedicated, talented, and just a pleasure to be around.leer más

Ana-Maria’s work is absolutely stellar. Her reports and organization is detailed and extremely professional. We are... able to share every session to our pediatricians, educators, and other parents. Ana was able to definitively identify the needs of our daughter and help her connect the dots by learning through play.Ana’s work has enabled us to add speech and sign language treatments that target our daughter’s areas of need.Ana is also is highly responsive. She is available by phone and e-mail to and is always engaged in our child’s care to ensure we understand our next steps and achieve the goals we have set forth. We consider her as part of our family now.leer más

¡Ana María (Voz) es la mejor terapeuta de lenguaje con la que hemos trabajado! Se ganó la confianza y el cariño de... nuestra hija de inmediato. Logró que se pusiera a hablar como lora tan solo con unas cuantas sesiones. Mejoró muchísimo su vocabulario y dicción. Muy profesional y responsable. Sus evaluaciones fueron siempre certeras y detalladas. Estamos muy contentos y agradecidos de haber podido trabajar con ella. La recomendamos 100%.leer más

My familiy is eternally grateful to Dr. Jaramillo for her comprehensive and thorough care for our son and daughter. Our... children have thrived and excelled in achieving develomental milestones related to communication in English and Spanish.

This practice is outstanding and one of a kind.leer más

Ana-María was recommended to us by our son’s school. She not only worked with us on his articulation, but also on his... myofunctional challenges. With her approach, my son achieved in six months what he couldn’t with other therapists. We recommend her unreservedly.leer más

VOZ is the best Speech Pathologist team in DC. I have utilized multiple speech providers in the district for over... 8years, including the big name organizations, none compares to VOZ.They understand that each child need is diferrent, they are dedicated, patient, flexible to meet the needs of patients. Their swift response in communication is outstanding. They are higly professionally equipped with strategies that generates results. I am very happy with the significant results that I have seen with my Autistic son. Jessica, thank you for all the hard work and dedication. All the progress with my kid speech needs would not have been possible without you. You are indeed a blessing!!leer más

Prior to seeing Jessica, my 7-year old was terrified of reading and would use every avoidance tactic in his little tool... belt to avoid it. And so began my tireless efforts to seek DC/VA/MA for a dyslexia specialist. I can say, without reservation, that we absolutely won the lottery when we found Jessica Nolasco.In the past, we have used fun instructors who would play lots of games but provided very little value in terms of substantive improvements. But Jessica has an incredible gift of knowing just the right amount to push and challenge him. For parents, she also offers a lot of feedback about the sessions, exercises to practice at home, tips on which books to read, and games to play. She is also incredibly receptive to my questions and allows me to have input based on issues that I've seen crop up with our other support tutors. This has allowed me to give my kid the best wrap-around service that coordinates with his other services.She has been working with my 7-year-old and even within the first short few weeks, we have seen dramatic changes. To truly understand how magical she is....you must understand that we gave her the monumental task of teaching him after a long day of school - when he is completely depleted. But he absolutely loves her. She has managed to gamify reading exercises in an effective way. As most 7-year-olds, he does not suffer fools gladly. If someone came in with a fake singsong-y way, he would turn them away. Thankfully, they have a wonderful and genuine connection. Jessica miraculously managed to break through and get him excited about reading. He actually runs to see her. I repeat, runs to see her.Even his newly assigned school speech therapist said, "I can tell immediately, someone has been working with him". Take it from a picky mom and kid, she is the best. What got in the door was her credentials but what has kept us is her incredible ability to connect and work with my son. We love her!On the business side:Porche, at the front desk, is incredibly lovely! She is there late in the evenings when we have our sessions. She's super kind and goes out of her way to ensure that our sessions are seamless.She processes all of our insurance claims and we have never had any issues. While this is often invisible work -- it is only invisible because she is doing such an amazing job. This allows me to focus on my child's progress rather than muck around with the nasty work of insurance claims.leer más

Our experience with Voz Speech Therapy, particularly with Anastacia, has been nothing short of exceptional. Anastacia... isn't just a speech pathologist; she's a beacon of expertise, patience, and genuine care. She's become an integral part of my son's language journey and, quite honestly, a cherished part of his life.Anastacia possesses an incredible blend of patience, savvy, and knowledge that makes every session productive and enjoyable. Her ability to connect with my son and tailor her approach to his unique needs is remarkable. But what truly sets her apart is her warmth and fun-loving nature. My son's highlight of the week is going to speech therapy, and that speaks volumes about Anastacia's remarkable ability to create a positive and engaging environment.Not only has Anastacia helped my son make remarkable progress in his speech, but she's also instilled confidence in him and fostered a genuine love for learning. As a parent, seeing my child excited about speech therapy is beyond rewarding.If you're searching for a speech pathologist who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about the well-being and progress of your child, look no further than Anastacia at Voz Speech Therapy. Trust me; you won't be disappointed. She's simply the best!leer más

Ana Maria is the best speech therapist ever. She helped my daughter tremendously with her speech, and in a short time.... She is dedicated, very professional, and a wonderful person. I enjoyed listening to them during classes (online due to the pandemic) and when face to face classes were possible, I could see the dedication and care she would give to her students. My daughter improved her speech in no time, and was delighted to attend to her classes. Ana Maria is also very resourceful and would engage the kids during the hour she would spend with them.I thoroughly recommend her, no questions asked! As I said before, She is the best speech therapy and an amazing person!leer más

Bernarda

I can’t say enough good things about Ana. She worked with our son for almost 2 years and he flourished under her care.... She left notes after each session and was always available to discuss anything regarding our son. Our son loved spending time with Ana. She always came with fun toys and innovative ways to encourage him to work with her. Her warm and inviting personality is perfect for young children.We loved Ana too — so much that we invited her to all of our kids’ birthday parties and she starting giving Spanish lessons to our other child. We miss her greatly!leer más

Stephanie R.

Dr. Ana is an amazing speech therapist that knows her stuff! Prior to visiting her, our 20 month old daughter had a... slight delay in her speech. Dr. Ana not only used age appropriate engaging activities to help our daughter build up her speech, she also provided numerous resources and tips for us to reinforce at home with our daughter. After a few months of seeing Dr. Ana, our now 23 month old had a burst of speech and is now saying the expected number of words for her age group.Dr. Ana is also super friendly and very hygienic which is important during these times of the pandemic. We’d highly recommend other parents to sending their children to see Dr. Ana!leer más

I’m not sure that I have met another speech language pathologist more in tune with the needs of her clients and... families. Ana-Maria Jaramillo is as compassionate as she is a firm advocate for her families. I have received her consultation and expertise on several occasions on a professional level as well as a personal level for my own children. I am constantly in awe of how she gives her very best and then some. I highly recommend her!leer más

My daughter receives speech therapy service from Anna Vanta. We have been extremely pleased with the improvement my... daughter is having with her speech. My daughter was having issues with stuttering and repeating the last syllable of the word at the end of the sentence. It was causing her not to engage in school or talk with people outside of her family circle.After a few month with Anna, my daughter was volunteering to read out loud in class and feeling confident enough to engage with people outside of her circle.Anna takes the time needed to gain the child’s trust. She engages the child in various activities that will help them develop or improve their speech. Anna provides thoughtful and informative feedback to parents. In addition she gives families and the child tasks and tips they can use to practice the skills they learned in the session.Anna has the ability to draw the best out of a child and encourages them to try skills that may be difficult but not impossible.Thank you Anna for restoring the confidence in my child!leer más

My daughter has received therapy here for over a year and it has been an incredible experience watching her growth. She... went from a small vocabulary and only using one word utterances to speaking in sentences and with a huge vocabulary. She LOVES to go - both Ana and Jessica have shown such great attention to her needs, positive reinforcement, making the sessions fun, and building strong bonds with her. They have also been great at coordinating services as we worked through the IEP process.leer más

Ana who was my son's speech therapist brought hope to us. My 2 year old then could not speak correctly and made it... extremely difficult to understand him and he will get very upset with us. Once i enrolled my son to speech therapy and literally just a few sessions my son was learning to pronounce words and even learned sign language and now my son talks complete sentences, thanks to Ana my son has came a long way with his speech and I am beyond thankful for her help. If your child is having these issues please see Ana she will be able to help you and your child.leer más
