Speech Goals

My son just got evaluated today by jasna. She quickly determined where my son needs help and has speech delay. She was very professional and polite. And gave me so many helpful tools to help my child. Her ability to engage and interact with my son and with myself was wonderful. I can’t say how much I think she deserves 10 stars. She is very personable and knowledgeable in this field and I without a doubt I would a recommend her to more clients.

We cannot say enough great things about Speech Goals and Jasna! She helped my family and my son through a truly difficult time and we owe her and her staff so much. If you are looking for a dedicated, warm hearted, extremely talented speech pathologist for your kiddo, you need not look any further.

Jazna is awesome! She was key in providing my daughter with speech therapy and showing my husband and I how to implement her strategies and techniques at home.
She is very patient and sweet and has a great team that can help any child excel.
Speech Goals has made a great impact on my daughters future and I can’t thank Jazna and her team enough. I would highly recommend Speech Goals.

This School made a great impact in Tony’s Life. With a serious case of speech delay we came to Jasna for help. They were very patient and helped my son a lot. We loved this school because Jasna was always finding ways to make the kids learn such as fieldtrips to amazing places. This school not only helps children, it also helps parents help their children. If you have a child with speech delay this is the perfect place to bring him or her. You will see amazing results!!! Thank you Jasna and her wonderful staff!!!

I am so, so grateful for Jasna Cowan.
When my youngest son was 2, he was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum with a significant speech delay. A developmental pediatrician determined his speech was at the level of an 8 month old. Thankfully, the Golden Gate Regional Center referred us to Jasna.
Our speech group consisted of 3 or 4 children and their parents. Jasna directed the parents in speech-​guided games, activities and lessons. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in speech development and therapy techniques. Further, she is so kind and caring. She developed a bond with my son, that is so sweet and special. As a mom, it is such a gift to have such a talented and capable professional teaching and advocating for your child.
After a year under Jasna’s tutelage, my son’s speech improved so dramatically, that his speech measured on target with other 3 year olds. I can’t recommend Ms. Cowan enough. Thank you, Jasna from the bottom of my heart.

Jasna made a huge impact for my daughter who wanted to have some help with her «s» and «th» sounds. She was able to work with her over the summer and it was so very very helpful to my daughter. Thank you Jasna! You are wonderful.

I really can’t say enough good about Jasna and Speech Goals. My son started working with her when he was about 1 ½ years old. He was barely saying 8 words. She was nothing short of fantastic! Her class was fun & interesting enough for my active toddler but also really laid down the fundamentals of speech. Right off the bat, I could tell she knew what she was doing. She was a seasoned professional but wasn’t afraid to get down to their level either. I often left the class in amazement how she held my son’s attention. She would give me tips to keep up his progress at home too. You could tell she wanted to see these kids (and parents!) succeed. We also had the extreme pleasure of working with Monica, another speech therapist at Speech Goals. I believe her extreme patience and dedication are the reason my son is where he is today: a 3 year old who won’t shut up! ;) Jokes aside, Monica is AMAZING! She saw my son twice a week, in one on one sessions and then in a classroom setting. She made the lessons fun usually incorporating play so he’d want to participate and learn. He literally looked forward to seeing her every week and would ask about her constantly. Monica just had this «way» and it produced amazing results! The impact she had on my son is something I will never forget and really can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend Speech Goals!

Jasna gave our 4 year old son his initial assessment and was extremely professional and is very experienced with very young children. We had our weekly sessions with Monica, so worked most closely with her. I cannot say enough great things about her! Monica is compassionate, knowledgable, patient and built such a great relationship with my son. He made such huge strides with her between our weekly sessions and doing the daily /​weekly homework. although each child is different, my son overcame the areas he needed work on within 6 months. Thank you Jasna and Monica!

Jasna has made such a huge impact in our lives and in my son’s success in speech therapy. She is a very remarkable and caring teacher; very engaging with all the children! She has taught us (parents) so many strategies in how to approach our son’s challenges and he has improved dramatically with her help. Jasna showed us different methods that worked well for my son and she also encouraged us along the way. With Jasna’s help and guidance, she increased our confidence as parents and also improved our play skills with our son that all contributed to our child’s success. I highly recommend her as an awesome and charismatic speech therapist! Thank you for all that you do Jasna!

Love love love Jasna. I can’t say enough about her and what she has done for my son. He started working with Jasna when he was 1 ½. He was not saying any words at the time. We put tubes in his ears and within several weeks he slowly started talking with her help. The best part is she teaches the parent how to interact with their child which helps encourage them to speak. She started my son with sign language which helped him communicate which transitioned into talking. Now he is 2 ½ and asking why for everything. I know for a fact without her help he would not have succeeded as much as he has. Thank you Jasna, you have changed my sons life.

Jasna has in helped us prepare for my daughters SST meeting. She walked us through our IEP which for the average parent was difficult to understand. With out her help I am sure we would not have received the help we were able to achieve through the school. Her understanding of children and how to work with them is so important in the process of learning and she is amazing. I couldn’t recommend a better Speech Therapist.

Jasna is an excellent speech therapist, and one I frequently refer clients to. She works with the parents on strategies to help a child’s speech and language develop. She also has a background in child development and uses age appropriate methods in her practice. I highly recommend Jasna as a Speech Therapist. (She is also fluent in both Spanish and English.)

As a speech therapist and early intervention specialist, Jasna has helped our twin four year olds excel in language acquisition, reading comprehension, and Spanish! She has a wealth of expertise and conducts her sessions in a way that includes us, the parents, so that we may use her techniques in our home. Also, she doesn’t try to force a child to adapt to her. Rather, she sees what works for the kids and adapts to them. No better way to get through to our kids than to speak to and interact with them in terms they understand. She gets our highest rating and recommendation.

Jasna has been incredible with my two year old son. I can not say enough about her. She is caring, patient, thoughtful and helpful. She really gets the parent involved during a structured group class using sign language, modeling, play and other engaging activities. My son loves going to her class! He has been making incredible improvements and only after a short time. She also provides excellent suggestions and helpful information throughout the whole process. We highly recommend her!

Jasna and her therapy methods have made all the difference in the world for my 3-​year-​old son and his speech delay. I’ve worked with several speech therapists and I strongly believe Jasna’s method of constant parental involvement during group therapy, modeling, using sign language, and engaging play with one’s child has helped my son go from only saying 6 words at 31-​months to now saying 2 and 3-​word sentences after only 3 months of weekly therapy. After working with several thereapist, I can certainly say that she is the best!

Jasna was recommended to us by several other parents in our area. She is very well known around Pacifica for helping children with speech delays. After being on a waiting list, we finally got in and it has now been over a year since our son has been working with Jasna. At the age of 3, he was only able to say a few words. He is 4 ½ now and is is able to communicate very well, he has made tons of progress. Jasna has a lot of patience and is very caring. My son gets so excited every week when he sees her. She is just wonderful!
