He can now better articulate what he wants and interacts with his peers. Even his nursery school teachers also commented on the positive changes. We appreciate the learning environment that you and your teachers have created. The tips to aid his speech development are practical and easy to apply at home. Scott also looks forward to his weekly classes. Thank you for the guidance and attention to helping our child." - Mrs Chin, mother of Scott (5yrs)   "A lot of people have commented that Kah Ning has improved so much after she attended speech therapist classes, her teachers, even the child development doctors she is seeing. She got best progress student for her class this year. Really need to give a big thank you to Danielle and Wendy, and you for setting up the class." - Jamie, mother of Kah Ning (4yrs)   "At 3 yrs old, Lucas was only talking 1 word at a time when children his age should already be talking in sentences. He could not even call me mummy then. But after bringing him to LeoMagan & just after 6 months, the long awaited word mummy finally came from him & he is also talking alot more. I can see that he is so much more confident & happier now. Teacher Magan & Adeline, I really appreciate your dedication & patience you gave to Lucas. Thank you so much." - Karen, mother of Lucas (3.5yrs)   "After years of problems with mumbling and unclear speech, I sought help from Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary. I realised that I should have sought help earlier! My areas of weaknesses were identified and I was given exercises to strengthen my speech. After merely a few months of lessons, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my speech and I am now able to clearly pronounce sounds which I used to struggle with in the past." - Michael Leong, Singapore   "We are very grateful to Ms Magan & Ms Wendy for their patience & care of Aidan over the 3 1/2 year period of ST & revision lessons. Aidan has improved alot, in terms of his communication,listening & social skills since he started lesson at LeoMagan. From not being to sit still for long periods of time & low on communication skills. Aidan is now able to same some words & greeting the teachers. Although he can’t verbalise it personally, we know Aidan enjoys going for his weekly lesson at Leo Magan! We would like to thank everyone at LeoMagan for everything they had done to help Aidan improve his communication skills. We will not hesitate to send Aidan back to LeoMagan when the opportunity arises in the future." - Rachel Chan, mother of Aidan Chay (7 years old)   "Leo Magan came into our life when my gal's preschool teacher alerted us that she might be having some speech problems. Stuttering, limited vocabulary, disability to articulate well. It then slowly affects her social skills. Her classmates were not able to play with her as they have problems understanding her. Soon she was playing alone most times. She is our first child and we were a little lost as to how to handle the situation. Her first 2 months with another therapy centre did not help much. It requires either of us to accompany her during work hours. After realizing that my gals requires much more sessions, It came to a point that we were no longer able to balance her needs vs our work commitment. This is the time when someone introduced Leo Magan to us. Since then, we knew we made the right move. Based on the first assessment, Leo Magan put together therapy sessions that would suit her. Along the way, adjustments were made accordingly. The added advantage, Leo Magan allowed us to have the sessions on weekends, it greatly helped us. It allowed us to participate and involved. As days passed, we see improvement in her speech. She is speaking with more clarity, diction and articulation. The group therapy session had also helped her learn how to communicate better and able to manage conflicts with her peers. This year when her preschool teacher did the half yearly meet-the-parent session, they expressed their amazement that they observed so much improvement in her speech as compared to 6 months ago. This observation came from her chinese teacher as well. We believe somehow the technique taught has helped her even for the chinese language. The mouth and tongue movements. The teachers were asking what we had done, so that it can be a case study for any other kid that they would come across the next time. We mention Leo Magan. We are glad to have found the right place and would really like to express our most sincere thanks to all of you. It is because of your patience, expertise that she made much progress. Thank you very much to all." - Kim Wah and Wan Soon, parents of Lynette Kam (4 years old), Singapore   "With the encouragement of the speech therapists, Isabel has developed not only her speech but also her confidence and is now very enthusiastic about her new found voice. She enjoys attending the sessions due to play-based teaching and learning methods. As a teacher myself, I understand that it can be difficult to engage children in activities that they may struggle with but the speech therapists have found and used a variety of techniques to reach, encourage and develop my daughter. Thank you!" - Alex McArdle, mother of Isabel McArdle (6 years old)   "Valerie was very resistant and not willing to participate in the class activities initially when first started. Leo Magan teaching team are very patient with her, slowly they win her over. Valerie now love attending the individual and group classes and has improved tremendously in her speech, social skill and confident level. She is more outspoken, less shy and express herself so much better than before! Everyone see the changes in her especially her childcare teachers. They were asking “What have you done to her in such a short period of time?” I would like to thank the teaching team and Leo Magan for their true, advices and tips, which help Valerie to improve so much. I were once very lost and worried over Valerie condition but now I no longer. I will certainly recommend Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary to others. Thanks!" - Christine Chee, mother of Valerie Leong (6 years old)   "Kieran started speech therapy about a year ago whereby he was only able to communicate in single words. His speech delay impacted his learning and ability to make friends, causing frustration to him and people around him. Now he has transformed into a bubbly boy, speaking in complete sentences and able to express his thoughts clearly. This will not have been possible without speech therapy in Leo Magan and his school intervention program. During his classes, the teaching staff at Leo Magan taught him to make clear articulation and better comprehension via classroom activities. By tapping on his visual strength, Kieran has improved and gained greatly from her classes. Other social skills like sharing and turn taking are reinforced as well. I believe all children with speech and/or language delay can benefit with Leo Magan classes as the contents are practical and aligned to school syllabus." - Cleo See, mother of Kieran (5 years old), Singapore   "Hailey started stuttering shortly after she turned 3 years old. As her parents, we were naturally concerned as we were aware of the negative impact that stuttering could have on Hailey's self esteem and social skills. Much of the research we did on the Internet suggested that stuttering was common at that age and would go away on its own. However, when we noticed Hailey’s frustration as she struggled to communicate, we decided to promptly seek professional help from Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary. And we are so glad that we did! After just a few lessons, Hailey's speech fluency improved significantly. Through fun exercises and games during the classes, Hailey was able to learn tools and techniques to help her effectively overcome her stuttering. Much to our delight and relief, Hailey now no longer stutters at all! She continues to attend weekly therapy and revision lessons to further develop and practice her communication skills and she has benefited from these sessions. Her speech articulation has improved greatly and she has a good command of the spoken language. In addition, she has become more confident, assertive and sociable; she is able to express herself and is understood by others. We are most grateful to the team for the positive experience we have had at Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary. The teaching staff has been very supportive, patient and encouraging towards Hailey and this has contributed significantly." - Beverly Sing, mother of Hailey Sing, Australia   "Besides providing speech therapy, Leo Magan is also an established language therapy centre. We sought help for SQ last year when she was 6 because she was lagging behind in her reading skills. SQ reading skills improved by leap & bounds (her reading scale improved by 9 months) after just 3 months of classes with Leo Magan. As we have witnessed the great improvement in SQ's reading skills, we continued the language therapy at Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary. SQ enjoys her lessons at Leo Magan very much. SQ is now in Primary 1 and is doing well in school. In the beginning of the year, she was only able to learn 2 new words a day after 1 hour of intensive revision. Now, she's able to learn all the words in her spelling list within 1-2 hours. She has also been able to score full marks in spelling, English & Maths tests. Her confidence in learning has improved and she is now more independent in her reading. We are very thankful to the team in Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary for helping both our kids. We have every confidence in them and we believe that with their continuous support, both JH and SQ will overcome their speech and learning challenges." - Mrs. Soh, mother of Soh JH (primary 3) and Soh SQ (primary 1), Singapore   "When Shawn started his speech language therapy at Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary, he had problems expressing his thoughts. He was about 4.5 years old and had communication issues with his peers. A few speech therapists and doctors were sure that he has had Autism. Shawn do not like going for therapy sessions. He was diagnosed with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). As a desperate mother and finding him to be normal other than communication problem & slight behaviour issues, I found Leo Magan on the web. After the first meeting, I was very sure that they were the one my son needs. After his first speech therapy lesson, he is always looking forward to every single lesson. To us, Leo Magan is really a God send angel. The teachers are encouraging, positive and sincere. After a year, Shawn is such a different boy now. He is chatty and always looking forward to communicate with peers (making friends) and isn't afraid to try. No words can express our sincere gratitude. All our lives have been changed! It's our good fortune to meet Leo Magan. We will work hand in hand with you guys. Thank you!" - Annie, mother of Shawn (6 years old), Singapore "Hi Leo Magan... a very sincere thank you to you for changing Shawn's life...we couldn't have did it without your help... The road ahead might be more tough for us but it keeps us positive to know that you are always there to help us!" - comment posted on Facebook (P.S. click here to read the entire comment) - Annie, mother of Shawn (6 years old), Singapore   "Jared has benefit enormously after attending sessions here both with remedial and therapy classes given. Appreciate both positive and negative feedback/sharing after lesson. Most of all the lessons are affordable that allows me to continue engaging them to help my child to develop further." - Mr. Lee, father of Jared (6 years old), Singapore   "My son Vernon, now 5 years old, has been undergoing speech therapy with Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary Pte Ltd from April 2008 for an oral developmental problem that may affect his learning. Vernon can't speak well at his age of 3. We believe that he is just different from other children in some aspects of the learning process and he is not abnormal. We found Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary which is able to help us manage Vernon's speech issue. Under the care of Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary, the Speech Language Therapist is able to understand Vernon, connect well with him and encourage him to speak up. The strength of this sanctuary is their true affection towards every child and desire to achieve and develop key competencies in every child towards fulfilling their potential. We hope, with Leo Magan's proper management of Vernon's problem we can help him to achieve his optimal potential. We have confidence in Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary to provide my child with the best opportunity to achieve." - Lena, Mother of Vernon (5 years old), Singapore   When Dominique started speech therapy at Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary, he had limited vocabulary and speech, as well as a slight social communications issue. Today, Dominique has progressed tremendously, and is able to communicate fluently with us, as well as his peers. We are truly pleased with his progress and appreciate the excellent results from the sessions conducted by Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary, which have proven to be very effective speech therapy and learning times. Our sincere thanks to Leo Magan. - Dino, Father of Dominique (primary 2), Singapore   "Grace was first identified by our doctor to have developmental delay and was sent to Special School when she was 18 months old while attending full time childcare centre. At the childcare centre, she was often bullied & ostracized by her friends as she could not verbalize/expressed her needs & wants in single words, resulting in Grace playing alone. Since sending Grace to Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary in Nov 2007 at the age of 4 years + for speech therapy. She is now able to express and communicate successfully with her peers & teachers. Within a span of 1 year and 10 months, Grace has not only enjoyed her lessons, she has shown tremendous improvement & progress in her speech & this is attributed to the dedication, patience & commitment of her teachers." - HL, mother of Grace (6 years old), Singapore   "I am sure no parents would like the idea of your own child being labelled autistic. We discovered Gabriel showed some symptoms of autism a year ago (2 years old). The obvious symptom was lack of eye contact and overly obsessed with spelling. Desperately searching for means and ways we can do to help him. We found Leo Magan Speech Sanctuary on the web. That was when we started to learn how we as a parent can help him. Gabriel started to use his vocabulary from the very first appointment. We were taught ways to help him to start talking and maintaining eye contact. Many of these methods are very trivial that most of us won't realise how important these are to special children like Gabriel. Of course we had diligently followed these guidelines throughout this year and I am so glad that his autistic review has given us good feedback that 'Gabriel may not be in the spectrum anymore'." - Jasmine, mother of Gabriel (3 years old), Singapore   "Keefe has been attending speech language therapy at Leo Magan for over 1 year. He has made significant improvements in his speech since he started here, his speech is more intelligible and people find him easier to understand. Keefe looks forward to his sessions at Leo Magan and we are glad to have found a quality therapy centre that operates over the weekend where Keefe can benefit from and suit our working schedule." - Yvonne, mother of Keith (6 years old), Singapore   "Charis' speech therapy sessions are conducted in a fun & informal manner, often with the aid of educational toys, games and the computer. Her speech has become a lot clearer and her reading has improved." - Cindy, mother of Charis (Primary 1), Singapore   "Jed enjoys coming for Leo Magan speech therapy lessons. He thinks the session is fun and as a result, he has no problem doing the home practice. After six months of therapy, I am very glad to say that he is more articulate and confident in his speech. He even acts like a little therapist sometimes, correcting us on our pronunciation. I too have enjoyed the partnership and I think they are truly professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Leo Magan's speech therapy services to my friends." - Mother of Jed C. (4 years old), Singapore   "We have been consulting Leo Magan regarding my daughter's stuttering problem, which we noticed when she was attending pre-school. She is currently in Primary 5 and her stuttering has already improved a lot from the time of the initial consultation. From time to time, she would still stutter. However, this would be mitigated by my daughter applying the techniques taught to her by the speech therapist, minimising the stuttering. The therapist would also augment the speech therapy treatment by engaging the parents after each sessions so that the lessons from the session could be followed-up by the parents. Overall, Leo Magan has helped my daughter to effectively manage her stuttering problem through various techniques and her initiative to engage the child's parents." - Marben, Father of Maia (Primary 5), Singapore   "We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you for helping my son. He is now a chatty and happy boy!" - Mrs. Chan, mother of C.J. (4 years old), Singapore   "You give me a gift in every lesson. When I'm saying something, I hear what you have taught me..." - I. Sarah (6 years old), Singapore   "I never forgot the therapist's first words which open the window of hope: 'Triston is capable of doing better'... Our sincere gratitude goes to Leo Magan, for their assistance, patience, and in sharing with us their professional knowledge during our speech therapy sessions." - Daphne, mother of Triston (4 years old), Singapore   "My son JH has a problem with stuttering. When he was 3 years old, we were rather concern as he was having difficulty expressing himself. We sought Leo Magan's help and through the speech therapy sessions, JH's fluency in speech improved tremendously. Besides helping JH through speech therapy, Leo Magan also shared with us how we may help him at home. I find their tips very useful especially on how to manage my other 2 kids so that they understand JH's situation and give him the appropriate support to overcome his stuttering. JH is still undergoing therapy but he is now able to speak fluently most of the time. We trust that with Leo Magan's continuous help, JH will be able to overcome his stuttering. My youngest daughter SQ also showed signs of stuttering when she was about 4 years old. She was discharged after 1 year of speech therapy and she has been fluent in her speech since then." - Mrs. Soh, mother of Soh JH (primary 3) and Soh SQ (primary 1), Singapore   "Jee Sean enjoyed Leo Magan's classes tremendously! He looked forward to each session. Most importantly, I have seen vast improvements in Jee Sean's speech. Thank You! - Wong Khai Jinn, mother of Ong Jee Sean, Singapore   "I like Leo Magan's language therapy sessions as it is conducted in fun ways. Examples are through games, educational toys and the computer. Now, I am able to speak and read more clearly." - Chng Xin Yi (Primary 6 student)   "When Caleb just started speech therapy with Leo Magan, his speech is garbled and nobody can understand him. He is almost speaking in another foreign language. His behaviour is also horrible. Now people around him can understand him, his social skills is much better and no behavioural issues in school. He is also able to answer questions. Leo Magan has done a very good in helping Caleb. - Mrs. Chew, mother of Caleb Chew, Singapore   "I found the cross crawl to be very effective with Jack. I was amazed that when I was doing it with him at home how he actually remembered things I had told him and even hearing him speak at home he was including words in his sentences that I had been trying to get him to say for a long time. I will continue to do this with him at home on a regular basis." - Michelle Mckenna, mother of Jack Mckenna, Australia   "Voice therapy has enlightened me in the proper way of breathing. Through proper breathing, I am able to project my voice better. The classes have been helpful in assisting me to regain my voice and release my stress. Through the sessions, I am able to know myself better too." - See Yin Fong, Singapore   "Been for almost 3 sessions but I’ve felt that at least I have a sense of empowerment to positively face my lifelong affliction of shuttering. By imparting techniques and getting some emotional weights off my chest, I feel more confident that I can tackle this affliction and put control back in my life. Leo Magan has given me the techniques that I feel with practice and perseverance will allow me to take control of my life and to project a move confident me." - Eugene Gao, Singapore   "Leo Magan's way of teaching stammerers to over their difficulties is very effective... Now I'm able to speak more clearly and fluently. This in fact has changed my life and helped to boost my morale..." - Adrian, Canada (P.S. go here to read the entire letter from Adrian) "The speech therapy has been very effective in helping me to cope with my fluency of speech. Leo Magan taught me a lot of speech technique that is useful in my daily speech, which helps to stop the blockage in stuttering. So far it has prove to be effective because when I know that I am stuttering or going to stutter, I will apply the technique and it helps." - Daniel Chua, Singapore   Enter your search terms Submit search form Web www.leomagan.com Home | Speech Therapy Testimonials | Speech Therapy Information | Speech Therapy FAQ & Glossary | Products | Product Benefits & Fun Activities | Product Testimonials & FAQ | View Cart | About us | Jobs | Links | Site Map | Privacy, Shipping & Terms 20 Kramat Lane, #04-09 United House, Singapore 228773 (Orchard Road area, near Dhoby Ghaut MRT).
