Decker Therapy Services, LLC

"We wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you have done with C. He has come a very long way over the 9 months that you have been working with him. We are very impressed with your quality of care and attention to him. Thank you for being so very flexible in your teaching methods to keep him interested and learning. His teacher has told us that he has caught up and surpassed a number of his peers. We don't think that this would have been possible without you. Thank you again for your services. I will continue to recommend your therapy services to our patients as you have been phenomenal."

"My husband and I brought our 18 month old son to Decker Therapy Services for a food aversion and feeding therapy. Prior to starting therapy, our son would resist eating almost anything, and we felt quite helpless and frustrated. We worked with Deb Magers for nearly one year, and the results have been phenomenal! When we first started, our son would eat maybe one ounce of food, cry most of the session and was scared of the process; by the end, he loved going to see “Ms. Deb”, would willingly participate in the therapy and would eat an entire piece of pizza, fruit, chips, etc. Throughout the process, Deb was extremely professional, giving my husband and I suggestions and strategies to use at home, recommendations for books to read on the topic, and most importantly, helping our son enjoy the process of eating. Beyond her ability to connect with our son, Deb provided a form of counseling to my husband and I, reassuring us that we were not bad parents, and that we were doing the right thing by attending therapy. We are so grateful that we found Deb and Decker Therapy Services, as it has changed our son’s life, and our life, completely."

"Decker Therapy Services far exceeded our expectations for our son's speech therapy. Our therapist, Deb, was always professional and encouraging, and perfectly tuned into our son's needs. He loved spending time with her, and during his sessions, we could always hear laughter, along with the hard work of learning to produce clearer speech. What really impressed us was that Deb's prediction of how our son would progress was right on target. She rewarded him along the way and made the whole process fun. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found such a kind, caring and superior speech therapist. It is clear that she loves what she does and really cares about her clients."

"She still speaks so affectionately of you and it truly was instrumental in changing her speech patterns. I hear her “catching herself” when she mispronounces or does not enunciate.. Thank you again for your incredible work with her."

"My daughter, Mariah, was 2 years old when she started receiving speech therapy services by Ms. Deb. Mariah use to have such a hard time expressing herself and would often be frustrated because she could not get simple things across to her peers or me, her mother. As a mother, it hurt me to see my child not to be able to express what they needed or wanted with words. At first, I was a bit reluctant to having her receive speech services because as a parent you don't want to believe that there is anything wrong with your child, you just think they will grow out of it. But I am so happy that she did receive the services when she did because if you were to meet this soon to be 4 year old, you would have never thought she struggled with her speech. She communicates so well now! Too well to the point where she can be a bit too grown at times, such as when she tells me "Mom, your not listening to me!" *laughing* But I am so happy to be able to carry on a conversation with her and to see her talk to her peers and know that they all understand each other. Better yet, I am so happy that her younger sister wants to be just like her, always trying to repeat her. I am so grateful to have had Ms. Deb come into my family's life! She always, always kept me informed of Mariah's progress and what I could do as a parent to help her succeed even more. Now everytime Mariah sees Ms. Deb, she cries out for her to take her with her! Ms. Deb is a true professional and God gave her a gift to help children with speech delays. I will always recommend her first because I know what she did for my daughter personally. So to you Ms. Deb, THANK YOU!"

"I have know Deborah professionally for over 17 years and when I realized she had moved back into the bay area and my son needed some help with his speech I went straight to her. She is great with him and he really responds well to her. I would highly recommend her!"

"Deb was my daughter, Alex’s, first language therapist. In the beginning, my wife Jennifer and I were scared about Alex’s delayed state of being. All of the emotions we felt were eased when we started therapy for Alex. Deb was helpful, informative and always communicated with us about what she was doing and what we could do on our own to help Alex develop. Having a therapist like Deb who is willing to communicate and share, makes all the difference in the world. Deb gave us the information to explore different sources of information to gain a better understanding of what we were facing and the multitude of different learning tools that can be used to help a child that is developmentally delayed. We thank you for everything you did for Alex and wish you the best of luck in the future. God Bless!!"
