"Ons het na Lilan gegaan omdat ons kind gesukkel het met sy spraak klankies. Hy het gedurig lettertjies omgeruil en hy het ‘n lisp getoon. Na terapie is daar 'n reuse verbetering in sy spraak. Lilan is baie behulpsaam en goedhartig."

"My son attended Starker Speech due to being diagnosed with autism and requiring help with socialising and speaking. She really is a star and is helping so much. He looks forward to every session he has with her."

"My kleintjie het na Lilan gegaan omdat sy gesukkel het met die lees. Lilan het haar sommer gou reg gehelp en kleintjie is nou gereed vir graad 3! As daar ooit weer probleme is sal ek graag terug gaan na haar."
