What People Are Saying

Around 2YO and for almost two years after that, we could tell that our son was starting to show signs of needing extra help with his speech.  We could always see that his level of understanding far outpaced his ability to communicate his thoughts effectively.  As a result, it started having an effect on other parts of his life simply because he could not convey to others the thoughts that were in his head especially if he saw his peers being able to do so.  In less than a year’s time, Ms. Kristin changed all of that single handedly.  Our son has always been slow to warm up to people, but Ms. Kristin had a way of working her way into his circle of trust very quickly and forming a bond much like a friendship.  From there the change she was able to affect not just in his speech but in other aspects of his life was transformative and truly priceless.  We signed up for general speech therapy and after a few weeks of sessions we began to see some real progress.  It wasn’t until after a couple months that we began to see a major transformation taking place before our eyes week after week and before we knew it he was speaking in full sentences with articulation and complex thought.  Even better was the effect that these sessions had in other areas of his life and personal growth.  On school days where he had speech sessions, he would noticeably come home more excited, happy, confident, talkative, and his social skills went through the roof in peer 1 on 1 interactions and group play.  Her style is one where he never felt different for having to work with her during class, but more privileged like he was lucky to be the one who got to spend time with her during class.  From a parental perspective, Ms. Kristin is proactive, friendly, very intelligible, and always followed-up promptly with updates on their sessions and gave us activities to work on with him.  We honestly could not have foreseen one person having this great of an impact on our son.  When he finally “graduated” it was truly a bittersweet moment because although we were so proud to see his tremendous speech growth, it was always going to be tough saying goodbye to the person who affected that change and made him so happy.  I wish there were 100 ‘Ms. Kristin’s’ around town helping all the kids who truly need it, but it makes us so happy knowing that while our son no longer needs her services, that just means another child and family can realize the invaluable benefit of her work.  She really cares and will change your child’s life forever and for the better.  We are incredibly grateful for her.
