Meet Miss Tanya: Pediatric Speech Pathologist in Roslyn, NY
At Tanya Hefets | Certified Speech Language Pathologist, we have dedicated more than 25 years to helping children build the communication, literacy, and learning skills they need to succeed. Our practice was created with one goal in mind: to provide high-quality, individualized speech therapy in a warm, supportive environment where every child feels valued and understood.
We are proud to serve families throughout Roslyn, NY, and the surrounding Long Island communities with a boutique, concierge-style approach to pediatric speech therapy. Our work is built on experience, innovation, and a genuine passion for helping children grow into confident communicators.
A Practice Built on Experience and Innovation
For more than two decades, we have worked with hundreds of children across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning styles. Our experience includes early intervention, school-age language support, academic enrichment, and therapy for older students preparing for major academic milestones.
Over the years, we have developed innovative, language-infused enrichment programs that have been adopted and successfully implemented by schools throughout the New York City area. We also provide training and guidance for speech therapists, occupational therapists, educators, and parents who want to create more engaging, dynamic learning experiences for children.
Our work is guided by research-based methods, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of how children learn best.
Our Philosophy: Confidence, Communication, and Care
We believe that successful communication begins with confidence. When children feel supported and encouraged, they are more willing to take risks, try new skills, and stay engaged in the learning process.
Our philosophy centers on
- Delivering the highest standard of speech therapy instruction
- Creating a nurturing, child-centered environment
- Celebrating each child’s strengths
- Encouraging curiosity and exploration
- Supporting the whole child—not just one skill area
- Building confidence alongside communication skills
We treat every child with the same care and attention we would give our own family. This approach helps children feel safe, motivated, and ready to grow.
A Boutique, Concierge-Style Approach

This approach allows us to:
- Provide therapy in the comfort of the child’s home or school
- Maintain direct communication with parents
- Adjust therapy plans as children progress
- Offer support beyond scheduled sessions
- Create a calm, familiar learning environment
Families often tell us they appreciate the personalized attention and the sense of partnership they experience throughout the therapy process.

Supporting Children Through Every Stage
We work with children across a wide range of developmental stages, offering guidance and therapy that grows with them.
Early Intervention
For younger children, we focus on building foundational communication, literacy, and behavioral skills. Early therapy helps establish strong learning habits and a love for language.
School-Age Support
For school-age children, we provide language and academic support in a positive, engaging environment. Many families report improvements in both communication and self-confidence.
Older Students
For older students, therapy may focus on organization, memory, leadership, socialization, reading, writing, and application essays for high school or college.
Our long-term relationships with families allow us to support children through multiple stages of growth and development.
A Research-Backed, Holistic Method
Our approach is rooted in research and clinical expertise. We focus on helping children make meaningful progress in the shortest amount of time while maintaining a positive and engaging learning experience.
We take a holistic view of development, addressing:
- Physical and sensory needs
- Social and emotional growth
- Cognitive and language skills
- Academic readiness
- Learning strategies and engagement
By addressing the whole child, we create results that extend far beyond speech therapy sessions.
