Karrie Russo is a well-respected Speech Therapist on the Upper West Side. Karrie specializes in working with toddlers, who are typically more difficult than preschool children.  Working gently and consistently, Karrie is very accessible to parents, and available for questions and suggestions. She encourages parents and caregivers to watch her sessions, so that they may continue the work at home. I am extremely pleased to have Karrie running our Toddler Talk & Play Group. Please contact me (Nyla) for more information and scheduling. Nyla Kamlet LCSW Play Together Founder
