Dr. Jeffrey Marler, PHD

Dr. Jeff was recommended to us by other parents several years ago when we were looking for private speech therapy for our ASD daughter. We had much better success with him vs school district speech therapy. More recently we used him for our son for speech as well as tutoring for reading. He has a great, fun approach to getting kids to learn, grow, and improve their speech. His sessions are very affective and our kids always enjoyed their time with him. He’s an extremely knowledgeable and experienced Speech Pathologist. We are so thankful we were able to use him for both our kids and highly recommend him!

Dr Marler is not only a great teacher for my kiddo with every subject from basic communication more advanced subjects, but watching how he listens and communicates with my kiddo has made me a better parent as well.

Dr. Marler was an absolute life saver when I was trying to overcome Covid-19 related obstacles to my daughter's introduction to reading. She was doing quite a bit of school remotely and was not able to keep up with the expected reading level for her grade level when she returned to in person instruction as I realized that teaching early reading skills is not a skill of mine. Each week my daughter visited Dr. Marler I could see immediate improvements and a genuine curiosity and joy in reading was developed that was absolutely the key to my daughter overcoming her hurdles in learning to read. I am now much better equipped to help her continue her growth as a reader. She is now above her grade level in reading and enjoys reading to me often. Thanks Dr. Marler!

Our very first meeting, I remember feeling both impressed and reassured at the insight Dr. Marler was able to provide about my son. Though we initially sought out assistance for speech related issues, he also has the unique ability to accurately discern learning differences and needs. Not only is Dr. Marler helping to equip my son, but as a homeschooling parent, his input and guidance has been invaluable to me as I strive to provide a quality, customized education. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Marler, not just for language intervention, but for any parent wanting to better understand their child's learning differences and abilities.

We had discovered my daughter is dyslexic and having trouble decoding words. She was struggling with keeping up with her classmates when it came to reading and it was starting to affect her self-confidence. We did a lot of research on what would be the best way to help her and we found Dr. Jeff. Dr. Jeff’s unique approach (Kazou the Service Dog) was extremely helpful in bring my little girl back to her care free self, it made her feel more at ease and retain what he was trying to show her.

Every Monday my son asks, "Is it time to go play with Dr. Jeff and Kazou? I'm ready now!" If you only knew what a great accomplishment this is. My son is smart, but he has such reading problems that school had become the dreaded daily battle. We started working with Dr. Marler before covid-19 and many things had already begun to improve. But now that I have a little more control over how my son's school work is done, he's made such huge gains. He now picks books he wants to "read" to Dr. Marler's service dog, Kazou. He's even writing new instructions for Kazou to learn for the obstacle course. My son's handwriting my still be tough to read, but to see him writing on his own almost makes me cry. Thank you Dr. Marler! Thank you Kazou!!

Dr Marler, or "Dr Jeff" as my grandson refers to him, has been instrumental in Maddux's improvement. Dr Marler, recently added Kazou (a service dog) to his practice. Part of Maddux's therapy is to interact with Kazou and give him commands through a series of obstacles. Maddux makes decisions and commits to a plan, wants Kazou to succeed and without realizing it, Maddux is learning to see "the big picture", break it down into "doable" steps, and succeed with Kazou in the final outcome!

Dr. Marler has changed our lives. Six months ago our son hated school and did everything he could to get out of going. Thanks to Dr. Marler our son is learning to love school. Not only is he helping our son academically, he is helping our son with his emotional, social, and behavioral issues. Dr. Marler has taken the time to get to know our son to see how he learns so that we can give him the tools to be successful. This is the first therapist my son has enjoyed going to.

Dr. Marler with Aspire Interventions began assisting my family 5 years ago. He diagnosed my son with an Expressive Language Disorder and my daughter with Dyslexia. His method of testing, attention to detail, interactive play, and genuine desire to help my children was a great blessing to all of us. 5 years after meeting Dr. Marler, both of my children have tools in place to assist them with their different learning abilities. I am so thankful that Dr. Marler was introduced to our family.

Dr. Mahler is very knowledgeable, insightful, and innovative in his approach. We highly valued his emphasis on creating group/classroom type settings to encourage and address spontaneous language encounters that our child will encounter. That paired with individual sessions was priceless.

Thank God for Dr. Jeff....he is a life changer for us. Within a few sessions we could see a huge improvement in our 5 year old son's language & speech. As comprehension improved several of our son's non-preferred tasks have shifted to the other spectrum...what a win!!! Not only Dr. Jeff works on guiding our child but also explains us the purpose of each of his technique and guides us as parents to help our child do better. Dr. Jeff is an amazing professional and we cant thank him enough!!!

Dr. Marler is phenomenal at what he does! As a caretaker for one of his clients, I couldn't do my job so well without the tools Dr. Marler has given us. He provides materials, instruction, and excellent modeling for our home schooling program.

Dr. Jeff has been a Godsend to our son and family. His willingness to tailor a program for our Sethyboyo was immediate and that approach stays just as creative as our son...and that's saying a lot! Here's the best part, his technique works and our boy's receptive and expressive language has never been better. Here's proof Dr Marler's approach works..."we pay out of pocket each month for his expertise, as our medical insurance does not cover Speech therapy." Thank You Dr. Jeff...

Dr. Marler, works with our autistic Son Seth. Dr. Marler has made a huge difference in our son’s speech and comprehension level. We feel so blessed to have Dr. Marler in our lives. His talent, and professionalism with our son is exactly what Seth needed to get him to the next level, and we know Seth will continue to soar with Dr.Marlers help. Our family totally recommends Dr. Marker if you are looking for a speech therapist that truly will make a difference in your child’s life.

Since working with Dr. Jeff, my son's speech has GREATLY improved. My in-laws, although eager to converse with him, have never really understood him. Recently, they had an entire phone conversation! For the first time, they knew what he was saying! (Cue the tears.) Also, a few weeks ago, we went to visit a new school. The school's director, upon meeting my son, was able to answer his questions, without me having to "interpret." We are beyond thrilled with Dr. Jeff, and my son's progress!

Our 4 year old son goes to see Dr. Marler twice a week due to some speech delays. He is showing quick improvement. The therapy with Dr. Marler is very enriching to both my son and I, involving play and getting the child to participate in a fun way, without making him feel like he's only instructed and tought. Dr. Marler is extremely perceptive and uses his understanding of our child's character, to adjust the therapy in a way that is tat Taylor made for him.

Dr. Marler is an outstanding professional who consistently goes above and beyond to assist our child with his needs. His creative techniques and entertaining sessions keep our middle schooler engaged and always looking forward to his next session. Our child has made such strides with Dr. Marler. He is simply outstanding. Kind, supportive and without question holds the child and family's best interests first and foremost.

While waiting to get my daughter an appointment at the Scottish Rite Hospital, I opted to have her tested with Dr. Marler. When the TSRHC called to discuss her school and Dr. Marler's testing, which contradicted the school, the representative told me that their was no need to test her again through them. Dr. Marler's evaluation was a "comprehensive evaluation and should be recognized by the school." The rep also stated that she would produce a letter to the school to validate his results.

Results orientated professional. Remarkable ability identifying learning obstacles and equipping students and parents with tools to improve. His methods tap into the interests of the student, as well as reinforce school curriculum. We have complete trust in his judgement and continue to see improvements in our sons' development. Would recommend his service to anyone looking to give their student a learning edge.

Dr Jeff explains everything in a way we understand. We left our first visit feeling confident for the first time in a long time. We drive in from Garland Tx and it is very much worth it!
