• “Cassie Sheppard, the Owner of Royal Therapy Services, is an amazing speech therapist. She worked with my son starting at the age of 3 and she was so patient and kind to him and made sure that I had no concerns and answered all my questions. She went above and beyond to keep him engaged and helped him express his thoughts into words. She worked with him for 3 year and we followed her to her new location. Her new office is amazing and she has so many tools and toys to help children of all ages. Because of Cassie and how she worked with my son he is thriving in school and can express himself. There is no better gift to give a child than the gift of speech and communication and Cassie did that for my son and words can’t express my husband and I appreciation for that. I highly recommend Royal Therapy Services they are in a class of their own.”

“My son was really struggling last school year, and we were at a complete loss as to what our next steps needed to be to help our son before finding Royal Therapy Services. My son looks forward to working with her weekly and has made tremendous personal and academic improvements with the help of Royal Therapy Services. Not only is Cassie extremely knowledgeable, but she is also very kind, easy to work with, and has been a godsend for our family!”

— Dee A, Parent

“We have had a wonderful experience with Cassie at Royal Therapy Services. She is friendly, flexible, and understanding of my daughter's unique needs. She creates a supportive environment where my daughter feels comfortable and encouraged to learn.

Since starting speech therapy with Cassie, my daughter's reading skills have taken off. We've seen so much growth in both her confidence and abilities, and we couldn't be happier with the progress she's made.

I highly recommend Cassie at Royal Therapy Services to any family looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated speech-language pathologist!”

— Brittany B, Parent

“Cassie at Royal Therapy is a godsend! Two of our boys struggle with reading and their Nurse Practitioner recommended Royal Therapy. I’m so glad we followed through with the recommendation. The boys have improved in their reading skills and are even reading for fun. Something they would never do before. I don’t ever have to drag the boys to reading therapy- they look forward to it! Cassie is flexible with scheduling and found a way to make our summer schedule work differently than the school year schedule. We appreciate Cassie’s kindness and dedication to our boys.”

— Jolene H, Parent
"We have been incredibly blessed to have such an amazing speech therapist for our son since he was 3 years old. Over the years, she has been so much more than a therapist—she has been a constant source of encouragement, patience, and kindness.

She has a true gift for connecting with children and makes every session fun, engaging, and something our son genuinely looked forward to. Her caring heart, creativity, and dedication have helped him grow not only in his speech and communication but also in his confidence.

She has always celebrated every milestone, no matter how big or small, and has supported our family every step of the way. We are so grateful for the lasting impact she has made on our son’s life. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as their child’s speech therapist. We can’t recommend her highly enough!"

-Lindsey B, Parent

“Cassie is an amazing speech therapist! My daughter was always so excited to come to speech. She learned so much through play-based speech therapy and we noticed a huge difference in her speech after working with Cassie. I would recommend Royal Therapy Services to anyone in need of speech therapy!”

  • Bethany Q, Parent

“I highly recommend Cassie! Ever since my daughter has been seeing her, she’s been talking more and I am so thankful for her. Cassie treats my baby with so much love and we really appreciate! My child never wants to leave when she goes but if Cassie ever had daycare I’d honestly feel so good with my child in her hands. She is amazing.”

  • Jerzi B, Parent

  • “When my daughter switched over to Cassie, what a game changer it was!! She not only continued care from her previous speech therapy, but discovered she actually learns language differently and that's why we were having problems with her progressing further in her goals. Cassie's kind and compassionate personality is just what our family needed. She is always willing to listen to your concerns and make everything very understandable with her reports. And if she doesn't have an answer for you, she goes above and beyond to find one. We're more than satisfied with Cassie at Royal Therapy and recommend everywhere we go!!”

    -Brianna B, Parent

  • “My child started speech with Cassie at 18 months old with only a handful of words and mostly closed mouth posture for communication. Since starting with Cassie, his language and communication skills have exploded! We have seen so much improvement in the efficiency and functionality of his communication, as he uses AAC, sign, verbal words etc. He is a Gestalt Language Processor (GLP) and Cassie is one of the most incredible SLP with an abundant of resources, experience and information for GLPs; he truly is thriving with her help and he LOVES going to speech.”

What our parents are saying

  • “Miss Cassie is truly the best! As a mom of 2 boys with autism and hyperlexia, we have seen many therapists over the last 5 years. Cassie is very knowledgeable and really understands how my children’s minds work and how to help them to be their best selves. She uses play therapy and incorporates their special interests so it is really a fun time for them. She makes therapy their favorite place to go! I am so happy with all the progress they have made and with all the tools she has shared with me to help at home. Forever grateful!”

    -Becky L, Parent

  • “After going through several months of speech therapy with little progress, switching to Cassie made all the difference for our daughter. We started seeing improvements immediately and she was graduated within a matter of months! Cassie has worked with two of our children. They both loved every minute of it and results came way quicker than we expected. My husband and I were so impressed with her and our children adored her. We highly recommend Cassie!”

    - Mari C, Parent


  • “Hello! My son first started with Cassie in 2019 and my daughter in 2020. Both were non-verbal. The progress that they have made under her care is incredible! She started with sign language to help the kids express their needs/wants. From sign language to being complete chatter boxes today. They absolutely love and adore Cassie and look forward to their time with her every week. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so!”

    -Haley T, Parent

  • “Cassie was one of the best things that happened to our son, Henry. Henry struggled to talk as well as connect with new people. She broke him out of this shell and helped him learn to interact and speak better. Henry absolutely adores Cassie and asks about going to see her almost everyday. I believe she was put in our life for a reason and we will forever be grateful for what she has done for our son!”

    -Mary N, Parent

“For almost 4 years, my daughter has been attending speech therapy with Cassie, and I cannot recommend her enough! The bond she has cultivated with my daughter is so special, and this foundation has allowed my child to blossom and grow in ways that have exceeded my expectations. And this is a huge testament to Cassie and her passion for what she does. She is extremely knowledgable, adaptive, progressive, patient, compassionate and, genuinely cares about the children and families that she works with. Outside of therapy sessions, Cassie has gone above and beyond by working with our insurance company to help get my daughter a dedicated speech device, and has been in communication with my daughters school to not only answer questions, but to help ensure she has accommodation's that set her up for success. I have experienced several other therapy clinics in Minot, and nothing compares to our experience at Royal Therapy!”
