I highly recommend Kristen and DSLS to any parent who may find their child needs speech therapy. From the first session Kristen connected with our son in a way that he understood. He was eager to work with her, and made tremendous progress. Kristen is very thorough, and she is great at keeping parents in the loop about what she is working on, what the next goals are, and what other concerns there may be. Working with Kristen not only improved our son's speech, it also helped him with social interactions and greatly improved his confidence. We have been very happy with all that she has done for us!
Kristin Reed
We have been working with Kristen for a year and highly recommend her speech therapy services. My son was barely speaking and very frustrated with not being able to communicate. After a year of treatment he is speaking so much and able to put sentences together to tell us what he needs and wants. We have been very happy with Kristen's services and flexibility with our family. She is very patient with our children (my son also has a twin brother). We highly recommend her speech therapy services.

I found some more computer games - with letters, numbers and letter sounds. Thanks for the ones you showed us! ZW likes them.
Hali, mom of patient
My son received speech therapy services from Kristen for almost 2 years. During that time, he went from being nonverbal and extremely frustrated to a very articulate little boy who talks nonstop! Kristen was always so kind and patient with him, and he always enjoyed her sessions. She was truly a blessing to our family. I highly recommend her services as a Speech Therapist.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Kristen on numerous occasions regarding mutual patients. She is always professional, comprehensive, and understanding in her assessment and treatment of children. I highly recommend her services.
Julie, EC Program Specialist
I had the pleasure of being Kristen's cooperating teacher during her semester as a student teacher. She is highly competent, collaborative, and compassionate as she serves children with special needs. I only wish I could have kept her in my school district! Children and their families are fortunate to have her working with them!

Kristen was my son's speech and language pathologist, always going above and beyond in addressing complications that existed in his development. Facing a grim prognosis for my son, she was a rarity in the world of optimistic care providers who overlooked the long list of impossibilities and instead focused on small achievements and ways to meet those goals.

I had no idea what speech therapy was until I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Kristen. Her knowledge and professionalism is what every parent wants and her tenderness and patience is what every parent wants for their child. In one meeting she was able to calm my fears and give me the tools that I needed to help my child with his development. He is now a " WAY TOO TALKATIVE " 2 1/2 year old and I'm loving every minute of it. It was a blessing to be able to work with Kristen and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Mamie, mom of patient
Speech? Exactly what does that entail? I had never been exposed to speech lessons until my youngest of 5 children needed them. Kristen pleasantly surprised me with her attention to every little detail to correct my son's issues. Her character is above reproach and her thoroughness is unlike any I've seen. My son started kindergarten this year and one would never know he had
speech problems at one time.
Anitra, mom of patient
Kristen has been such a blessing to our family words could never express the gratitude we feel for her. She is more than just a SLP to us she has become a part of our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone with speech needs. :)
Sally, mom of patient
Kristen is such a wonderful speech therapist! She was encouraging to my family and brought positive energy into our house every therapy session. She made every session fun and challenging for my daughter. Thank you Kristen for giving us hope for our daughter and helping us with her speech!
Murrie Alice, grandparent
Miss Kristen is the best! She goes "above and beyond" in making our grandchild's speech lessons both meaningful AND fun. She always challenges him to have better speech habits and articulation and, through her teaching, also encourages him to grow intellectually.
Bo, parent of child
From the moment I first met you, I have been impressed with your attention to detail. As I've gotten to know you better, I've been amazed at your knowledge, thoughtfulness and caring. You are an amazing SLP! I would highly recommend you to anyone with speech needs - all ages!! You certainly are a blessing to our family~~thanks!!
