Dana was our child’s speech therapist for several years. Our child struggled with attention and behavioral issues and always tried to avoid hard tasks. Dana was not only a very patient and kind therapy provider, but she was also exceptionally creative in her approach to therapy. Speech therapy very quickly became something our child enjoyed with Dana. We saw marked improvement in his expressive language and once he was better able to express himself, his behavioral issues also improved. We can’t recommend Dana highly enough!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Dana Jokovich for several years with students with minimal to profound support needs. Dana’s creativity, ingenuity and passion for working with children is deeply evident. She is well knowledgeable in SLP best practices and has the innate ability to program speech intervention with fun and excitement for her clients. She works diligently to customize speech intervention programs to each individual child and their specific needs. Dana is exceedingly distinguished in collaborating with all stakeholders involved in the child’s life- parents, guardians, other interventionists, other children and school staff. She has the ability to bridge/connect people through the shared mission of the student/child success. Dana provides loving, compassionate therapy to their clients and in turn, their progress grows exponentially. My students greatly looked forward to their “speech with Dana” time! As a professional, I learned an immense amount from her- how to build communication repertoires, how to connect to students via personal interests, how to collaborate with parents efficiently and how to embed speech practice into instructional and social programming. Dana Jokovich the is epitome of a great speech-language pathologist and highly, highly recommend her.
