What Clients Are Saying

“Kristina came into our lives when our firstborn son was about 2 years old and was diagnosed with a speech delay by his preschool teacher. I felt vulnerable and anxious about our son’s care path. There were a lot of uncertainties and as a parent, you want to be sure you’re working w a skilled and competent professional. Kristina is our angel! We are forever grateful for her ongoing commitment and personalized dedication to our son’s care. Our son instantly adored her and for nearly a year, they spent about 2 hours a week 1:1 together. Kristina was always a professional. Kind, prepared, patient, thorough, and engaging. She was always on time, often stayed late and was always will to provide feedback about his progress. Within weeks there was immediate results. I’ve always been told that all children are different. That some walk later than others and some talk earlier than others. In our sons case, he has demonstrated tremendous aptitude and cognitive abilities and of course, his verbal skills are on par if not better than young boys his same age. I’m certain that Kristina made this possible. They formed a special bond and we consider her to be an integral part of our family. Forever grateful!'“

“Our family is so grateful for Kristina. Being told your toddler has a speech delay is tough and confusing. When Jack started seeing Kristina twice a week, she took something that was a frustrating roadblock and made it FUN! Speech therapy with her isn’t dull or stressful like I thought it might be when we set out to get help, it’s play. Play he really enjoys and that has really informed me how I can best encourage speech and pull words out of him in our daily interactions. His progress has also been awesome to see and much of that is due to her work with him.”

“I am so thankful that my little boy (2 years + 4 months) got referred to Kristina! In just a few short months (3ish months) my little guy, Hue is growing his vocabulary daily! He asks me on the regular "What are you doing?" And last week he sang "tinkle, tinkle little star" which made my mama heart burst wide open. I asked for help when I knew we needed it and the world his improved speech has opened has changed every area of his growth. Plus, watching how Kristina works with Hue has helped given me the tools to help me communicate with him better when she is not around to guide us. I am so glad Hue is getting the ability to express himself with words - it's so fun to know what he's been thinking all this time!”

— A proud + thankful Mama!

“KM Speech came to us when my son was 1.5 and struggling to use his voice to communicate with us. Kristina and her team have been instrumental in helping my son find his voice and learn new words and communication skills we would not have been able to teach him on our own. They also tailored his sessions to what motivates him to want to communicate! In our time looking for the right fit for our son we could not have found a better team to work with and can’t wait to see all the progress he’s going to make with KM Speech guiding him and us! “
