Schacter Barbara Maccc

My daughter has worked closely with Barbara, correcting a speech issue. She is an excellent therapist, and my daughter loves her weekly sessions. Thanks to Barbara, my daughter speaks with clarity and confidence.

Barbara Schacter has seen our son for severe Apraxia and severe speech disabilities. She is a warm, caring, nurturing therapist who is highly professional in her approach to speech problems. She is well trained and kind. She plays games with the children while working on different strategies which makes it fun and interesting for the kids. Our son loves seeing Barbara and looks forward to his sessions with her. Barbara get results with children and the progress we have seen our son make has been incredible. I know with older kids she adjusts her tactics so that the therapy is meaningful and helpful to the kids. She finds whatever way is the best to reach out to each child and modify the therapy which keeps it interesting. I highly recommend Barbara and it is so wonderful that she is right here in the Palisades which makes it so convenient for after school visits!

This woman should not be working with children. She has an obsession with germs and constantly had my daughter washing her hands. She was mean and very critical. First she told me my daughters problem would be an easy fix of a few sessions. She did not even need therapy anymore with my help, but 6 months later, she then wanted to start seeing her twice a week. All my daughter’s teachers did not feel she needed any therapy. This woman is crazy!!! Thinks she knows everything!!! Talks down to parents about how they raise their kids and she does not even have any of her own.
Please, I strongly recommend anyone else but her. A lot of people I talk too have also had a terrible experience. I live in the Palisades– small town– DON’T do it to your child.
