Client Testimonials

Jennifer Robinson
Chris Byers has been working with my 4-year-old son, who was recently diagnosed with Autism, since he was just over two years old. Quite frankly, we don't know what we would have done without her. Her depth of knowledge concerning autism and all related disorders has been life saving to my son. Without her guidance and support, I would most likely still be in denial that anything was wrong with my son. She guided me to numerous resources - i.e. special education advocacy, UCLA Autism Evaluation Clinic, etc - with the kindness and understanding that it takes to speak to a new mom receiving the news that her first born son may have more challenges than a typically developing child. I highly recommend Chris Byers for anyone looking to make a difference in the life of their special needs child.

Deborah Nulman
My daughter was diagnosed with some language delays and we were divinely guided to Chris Byers. Not only is she a wonderful and amazing therapist but her practice focuses on the whole child. She is extremely knowledgeable in so many areas pertaining to delays and all the different protocols associated with autism whether they be conventional or not so conventional. She cared deeply for my daughter and cheered her every milestone. Chris also never hesitated to help out a friend of mine whose daughter was diagnosed with autism even though they weren't her clients. Chris has a very big, beautiful heart and what matters most to her is the success of "her" kids. I pass her name on constantly to moms in need. Chris was a treasure in our daughters journey and we'll always be grateful to her.

Becky Barnfather
Chris is a GREAT speech therapist. She has been with our son, who is now five, since he was 2 1/2 years old when he was diagnosed with autism. She is very knowledgeable about all kinds of areas not only in speech but with holistic resources and diet. She encouraged me to consider using diet for our son and we saw a HUGE improvement in his speech and behavior. She is in control with children when they come to her therapy - she can keep their focus and attention. She can give good advice for parenting skills when you have a child with autism and is VERY consistent in her handling a child with poor behavior. I highly recommend Chris and she has been a great help to me as a mom!

I have known Chris Byers for many years. What has always impressed me about Chris is her dedication to the children. She looks at each child as an individual and creates a program to meet his/her specific needs. She is knowledgeable and experienced in a wide variety of interventions. Chris tailors each program to fit the child instead of trying to fit each child into a generalized program. She has experience working with children with a variety of disabilities including Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and Traumatic Brain Injury. Chris is kind and caring and knows how to get the best out of each of her students. I recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a dedicated, intelligent and caring speech pathologist.

Jennifer Hsiung
Chris Byers is great. I heartily recommend Chris Byers to anyone who needs speech therapy service for their children. My daughter is autistic. When we first moved to Southern California in June 2003, my daughter was non-verbal. But after working with Chris for a year, my daughter can say approximately 300 words, and can speak in short sentences.
