"Phil is a rare and gifted human being who touches lives with intelligence, wisdom, warmth, enthusiasm and dignity. He is a passionate man who cares deeply about his clients, his students and his work. He is a master teacher and clinician".

"Uri reaches children's hearts and wins their minds.  He is charismatic, supportive and empathetic.  He relates to children, colleagues and parents with the same commitment, dedication and devotion.  He is intuitive and magical, and most importantly, he achieves phenomenal results.

I've learned that the personality of a professional transcends the technique, and it is the most significant factor in the learning process.  Uri has both components: the clinical skills of the best professionals in the field and a love of children.

I would certainly entrust my child to his care."

Judith Gordon, Ph.D.
Director Summit School of Queens

"Uri is one of the most outstanding speech-language pathologists that I have had the pleasure to work with.  He combines a strong theoretical knowledge base with excellent clinical skills.  This along with his warmth, humor and enthusiasm have resulted in tremendous growth in the communication skills of the children in his care."

Director of the Stuttering Foundation of America.

What people say about our workshops...

"The seminars given by Phil Schneider and Uri Schneider were overwhelming successes.  The attendees' enthusiasm was reflected in their evaluations and feedback after the seminar.  The user-friendly manner in which techniques were taught made it easy to incorporate them into real life."                (Vicki Edelstein, Professional Staff Development, Yeled V'Yalda)

"What a great presentation.  It was intellectually and emotionally stimulating"  (Shelley B., SLP)

"Well organized, provided a wealth of information, and a great number of examples."  (Jan T., SLP)

"I would like to have a whole day to explore this topic in greater depth with these two presenters [Phil Schneider & Uri Schneider]."   (David S., SLP)

"Two students I teach had become increasingly frustrating.  I had just about given-up on both.  Your presentation on 'rethinking what makes a student tick' helped me get back my enthusiasm for teaching the most frustrating students.  Every teacher needs your presentation!"  (Meryl Silverstein-Huckabey, Science Teacher)

"It is rare that one comes across a speech therapist with the warmth and quality embodied by Uri Schneider.  He is innovative, resourceful and dedicated to the children he works with.  He gave parents and teachers strategies to support their children and his calm and patient demeanor makes him easy to talk to and confide in."

Hannah Markowitz
Assistant Director, B' Above Worldwide Head Start

 

"We are proud to have Uri Schneider one of our community liaisons. He has made a lasting impression on our children, our parents and our staff with his kind and compassionate manner and his understanding and empathy for our staff.

Additionally, Uri's workshop for parents and staff — 'Everything You Wanted to Know About Speech and Language - But Didn't Know Who to Ask' was extremely well received by all who attended.'" 

Annie Hauptman

Family Services Coordinator, B' Above Worldwide Head Start

 

 

"Uri is a calming and caring speech-language pathologist.  He pays attention to the "whole child" and how the speech issues relate to the child's personality and functional life-needs — at home and in school.  He made sure to take time to listen to my opinions, thoughts and feelings."

Mrs. F.
Parent of School-age Child
Articulation, Processing and Self-Regulation

 

"My son was mispronouncing words and stuttering.  My son loved Uri because he was sensitive to his feelings... and communicated with him at his level.  Uri showed me how I could work with my son at home.  I would recommend Uri to everyone."

Mrs. B.
Mother of Preschooler
Articulation and Stuttering

 

"We sought services for our three-year old because he was in his own world, his communication and social skills were limited, he was not following directions and he was unhappy in school.

Uri's warmth, radiance, communication skills and positive energy had a profound and wonderful impact on our son - and us (parents).  With his great intuitive sense, Uri immediately understood the root of the issues at hand and patiently began working with our son. 

In addition to positively influencing our son's happiness in school, and increased social and communication skills, Uri gave us the tools to help our son succeed in life."

Mrs. G.
Mother of Preschooler

"I sought out Dr. Schneider when I was at rock bottom with my stuttering. I was avoiding talking, and I was avoiding life. After the first session with Phil, I knew that things were going to get better. Phil showed me ways that I could change how I stutter, and how I feel about stuttering. He treated me as a person, not as a stuttering machine. For the first time in my life I felt 'normal.' I will never forget Dr. Schneider's commitment to my growth. I decided to become a speech therapist so that I could give back a little of what Dr. Schneider gave me."

Peter Reitzes, M.A., CCC-SLP.

"When I was eleven, I went to a Speech Pathologist who tried to fix me.

He treated me like a broken car. What I needed was a friend, not a mechanic. Phil Schneider has a healing soul. He is honest and fun. I wish I met him when I was eleven..."

Founder/Director, Our Time Theatre Company
