Six Months to Speech Reviews 

It is hard to summarise the last year working with Chelsea in one review. But I wrote this to her and her team last week to celebrate a year on the programme.

Last week marks a year since we started our Six Months to Speech journey. We can say without a doubt it is the best thing we have done and has changed our lives.

I want to thank you Chelsea and your team for everything. It is impossible to sum up into words the gratitude we have and will always have for your guidance.

Before starting the course. We had a shell of the girl we have today. Constantly stimming, climbing, unable to track toys let alone play with them. She had no receptive or expressive language. When people came into our home she seemed like she didn't even know they were here. If anyone came in close proximity to her she cried non stop or ran away. We couldn't take her to the park or anywhere she could easily escape as she would run around the edges of the park rather than going on the equipment. She didn't sleep and had constant bloating and gas, crying in pain. She only ate crackers, toast, spagetti and pancakes. She had no awareness and would elope constantly.

Today we have a completely different child. I can't write all the wins we have had without turning this into an essay. But everything listed seems like a million miles away and most importantly we have a healthier and a happy child.

We started this course after being referred for an Autism assessment by the UK's National Heath Service. We had our initial assessment a month ago and it was agreed appropriate we hold off to go to panel for another year because of all the progress she has made and everything we are doing with her. She also started mainstream school early September. Her teacher stopped me last week to say how well she was getting on, how she was waiting so nicely and was very calm and happy in school. She also said she was talking and interacting with the other children. It makes me so emotional to think how far we have come and makes me so excited now for her future. This journey can be quite lonely particularly when people don't understand what you are trying to achieve and don't believe it is possible. But knowing there were like minded parents around the world doing what we were doing for their children really kept us going.

Chelsea, thank you for everything truly, I totally appreciate all the research and hours it took for you to put this all together and the trial and error it may have taken you. Whereas I could just sign up and get instant guidance and research as I went. So thank you.

We will likely be finishing up in a month or so (reluctantly) but we will always continue with this lifestyle as we are addicted to the progress.

Thank you for everything again!

If you are considering on signing up to Six Months to Speech, we couldn't recommend it enough. We gave it everything, and we have gained so much from it.

My son is at the end of Stage 1 and 3 months into the program I can officially say we can go near ponds/pools/lakes without him being interested in jumping in like he was before. That alone makes this program so worth it.

Six Months to Speech has truly been a godsend. It all started about a year ago when I found Chelsea on social media. I had so many sleepless nights and felt completely lost. I just wanted to give my child the best chance at a fulfilling, happy, and quality life.

It really starts with listening and taking in all the information you learn through Six Months to Speech. A year ago, my son was only saying a few words. Now, he is regularly speaking in 2–4 word sentences, and he continues to learn more and more every day.

He even understands the concept of Halloween, and I find myself wondering if he would have understood holidays before. Now, I’m sure he’ll understand Santa too! ❤️

I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned and for the progress my son has made. Six Months to Speech has given me hope, knowledge, and the confidence to help my child thrive.

Six Months to Speech is truly one of the best programs I have ever been a part of. This community is such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and feel supported. It has genuinely changed our lives!

My son, Logan, is 6 years old, diagnosed with Level 3 autism, and nonverbal. We have struggled with so many challenges, including self-regulation, disrobing, picky eating, bowel movements, eloping, and so much more.

With the guidance, support, and encouragement from these amazing coaches, we have made progress I never thought possible. We can now go out in public without constantly worrying about a meltdown, him undressing in the middle of a restaurant, or him suddenly eloping.

One of the biggest changes has been his regulation. He is now able to sit during his ABA therapy and actually focus and learn. He recently started learning how to spell his name, and watching him do something that once felt so far away is absolutely amazing!

What makes this progress even more special is that I’m not the only one noticing it. His therapists and family members are constantly saying, “Wow, Logan is doing so well!” Seeing the changes recognized by the people who know him best means everything to me.

This program truly delivers results, and I am so grateful for the incredible coaches and this community. I can’t wait to see what comes next for Logan!

I wholeheartedly recommend Six Months to Speech to every family looking for support, guidance, and hope. ❤️

Jacob has started brushing his teeth and we are proudly doing it every morning. Before he would just refuse and I could not even recall when he brushed his teeth last time without resistance or screaming. We are one month into this program and I already see so many positive changes. He eats more different types of food now and just more calmer overall with less aggression and less meltdowns.

This program has been an absolute miracle in our lives. My boys were seven and five when we started this program. Both of my boys were diagnosed with level three autism at age 2. My seven-year-old was nonverbal, dis regulated and not making any progress. In fact, I would get reports daily from school about him not cooperating and his behavior. He was unhappy and disconnected. James, my five year-old had words, but could not communicate at all and only had echolalia. James was not make any progress on his IEP goals. We were in a store with my two boys and a lady told us she would pray for them to the “saint of loss causes.” I realized I had to do something to help them, and this cannot be their life. I reached out to Chelsea and her team and was even hesitant to start. We have been in the program now almost 7 months. There have been so many changes. I don’t know how to list them all. My boys sleep through the night, they no longer have constipation issues,my five-year-old is conversational, my now eight-year-old has over 26 words that he says on his own and could not say anything before. My eight year-old develops new words each week. I no longer get bad reports from school anymore, my boys are able to travel on airplanes with no issue, are no longer eloping, they have woken up and understand everything we’re saying to them. Our friends, family, and neighbors have all asked what we are doing because they have all noticed how much the boys have changed and are in complete shock of what this program has done for us. This program has been the best thing that’s ever happened to us and it just continues to get better. I love Chelsea and her entire team, they have been supportive and wanted to see us succeed. I would recommend this to anybody with a child with autism or even just behavioral concerns. Our lives have completely changed for the better. We recently saw a Doctor Who told me that my boys are not level three autism, in fact, they are high functioning. This is something I never expected to hear and we would not be here without 6 months to speech.

I love this community everyone is so welcoming! and let not get started on the coaches! They are amazing they are always helpful and never make you feel like your bugging them. I have had break throughs with my son during this program that i didn't think were possible for example eating zucchini noodles in his spaghetti! This program has helped us with his behaviors as well!

We are so happy with the program so far. We’re still only in the early stages, but the changes we’ve already seen in our boy have been incredible. He has struggled with severe constipation for the past two years, at times going up to two weeks without a bowel movement, and he is now going regularly. It feels like such a huge shift for him. At the same time, we’re seeing beautiful changes in his development too, it feels like a fog is starting to lift. He’s more present and engaged, giving us more eye contact, connecting with us more, and even starting to attempt words. It’s been so encouraging to see these changes already, and we’re really excited to see what’s still to come.

Six months to Speech has changed our life. When I first joined I had no idea about gut healing, I just wanted to help my little girl, Lana. Since joining, my daughter now has direct eye contact, is calmer, more willing to be around others and follows small directions. Although she is still non-verbal, she communicates through her iPad and understands everything! We still have a long journey ahead but we have still seen so many wins! An example recently of her improvement since joining this program: I had an appointment for my dog at a new vet hospital. Usually I have someone sit in the car with the kids so I don’t have to worry about my daughter running around everywhere but today I had to bring them with me! To my surprise, Lana patiently sat on the bench while I was at the check in counter! She didn’t try to run away or bump into the walls! She did incredible. 🥲 we’ve been running a lot of errands this week so we’ve been in the car a lot, after we got home from the vet appointment Lana took her shoes off and HID THEM UNDER THE COUCH. I was cackling, she was hiding her shoes so we wouldn’t go out again!
Without this program, Chelsea, & her team, I don’t know where my little girl would be today! I am so thankful! 🥹

2 months and 9 days ago, we started this program, and at that time, my son was only drinking PediaSure.

Today, I look at how far he has come, and I’m so incredibly proud. ❤️ He is now eating spaghetti, loving his homemade chickpea cookies, eating cereal, and slowly becoming more comfortable with different foods.

We still have a long way to go, but I know that one day we will get there. I’m holding onto hope, celebrating every little victory, and reminding myself that progress takes time. 🙏❤️
This journey would not be the same without the incredible coaches and leaders who continue to guide, encourage, and support us every step of the way. We are truly grateful to have such amazing people beside us.
This is only the beginning. One day at a time, one step at a time. And when we look back, I know we will see just how far we’ve come. ❤️

My son has diagnosed with level 3, autism, he is nonverbal. A little over three months into this program now, his eye contact and respond to his name is so much better and he actually started saying colors!!!

This program gave me more than just nutrition and a detox path. I was beyond depressed at the point that I found this program after my 2 year old daughter's diagnosis of level 2 autism when I was taught that nutrition comes in so many different forms. The one on one conversations I got to have along with the group environment, made me feel less alone and was beyond what I needed. My daughter was gluten and dairy free. I thought that that was enough, and it did calm so many things, but I was missing a large piece of the puzzle. The steps that came with this program, literally eliminated all of her yeast bacteria and completely filled her gut with all the benefits of every nutrient and good bacterias. I have now seen an extensive amount of doctors and done various bloodwork/tests which has showed me that my daughter at almost 4 years old now is probably the healthiest human being on the planet with the most balanced gut. I still detox my daughter through the program methods every six months to keep her balanced and on track and will never stray from her diet. My daughter went from waking up in the middle of the night, unable to focus on anything to now fully understanding everything I say, never wakes in the night, has regular bowel movements and went from distressed/crying all the time to happy. My daughter is able to say words and connect the dots that she was just not able to understand/see prior. This program has completely changed the way I feed my two older children as well who are not autistic. My whole house has benefited from the education I have received regarding food. I thought I knew, but you really become a natural at reading labels, avoiding extras, and just start making everything at home because it is healthier and tastes better without the stress. It is a complete way of life now for us over a year and a half later and I could not be more grateful. My daughter improves every single day and this was the best decision I've made for her to date and I will never go back.

Six months to speech. Has been great. Lots of information and resources. All the coaches provide great insight, especially from their personal experiences.
Isra, Chelsea, Brianna, and all of the coaches are super helpful.

The support and education provided by the Six Months to Speech program, Chelsea and the entire coaching staff have been incredibly beneficial to my child’s health journey. The coaching team has been exceptional to work with. The knowledge, guidance and availability they offer to the 6MTS community on a daily basis has been above and beyond what I was anticipating. The coaches work directly with you and are a huge support system. The coaching team recognizes that each child is unique and emphasizes open communication from parents/caretakers so that each member of the community gets the specialized support he or she needs.

I have also been impressed with the platforms and processes they have in place for working with families in the Six Months to Speech program. It is very well organized, easy to navigate, educational and informative, all while fostering a supportive community with direct access to very timely communication with the coaching team.

The coaches can’t do the hard work for you, but they are there to support you and your child(ren) every step of the way.

I found Chelsea and 6 Months to Speech on social media in Spring of 24’ and learned so much. However, I wish I would have listened to my mom gut 2 years ago and joined the program immediately. The support from Chelsea and the entire 6 Months to Speech team is unmatched. They have all gone through this with their own kids and they truly understand what you are going through and how to move forward when you are stuck in a plateau. As an autism mom, it can be very isolating and this entire community has been a blessing and a reminder that my family is not alone. Today, we are officially 9 weeks into the program and my 4 year old has become so much more regulated. He doesn’t elope leaving his Speech and OT appointments anymore; therapy appointments in general are much more calm and he’s more interactive. Receptive and expressive language has also exploded, while he used to be non-verbal two years ago. I have successfully started to ween him from his Risperidone and Leucovorin medications, and we are on day 2 of potty training. He has never been ready when we have tried to potty train in the past - today he has wanted to go to the potty and all by himself. It’s mind blowing the difference in just 9 weeks - through change in diet alone. I cannot wait to see him continue to thrive and have his voice and personality come out even more. I’m forever grateful for Chelsea and the entire team.

Truly blessed and grateful for Chelsea and her team. She is super dedicated, supportive in every step of the way. She truly cares about our children and their families. I will forever be thankful for her because she opened so many future doors for my children I never thought possible!

I’ve been blown away by the depth of the protocols and level of detail Chelsea has poured into 6MTS. Having this amount of support through every step is exactly what every parent walking through this journey needs. I’m so thankful for Chelsea and the entire 6MTS team!

Best thing I could have ever invested in for my child’s future. The team was so helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. The community of moms I had the pleasure of meeting during my time in the program was priceless. Having people who understood my daily struggles was something I wasn’t expecting to need so much. That was one of my favorite aspects of the program. My son is a different child after implementing the programs protocol and I don’t know where we would be without it. Hands down the best money I have spent on trying to help my son.
