Kellie Henkel really helped my son, with down syndrome, turned a corner with his speech. When we met, he was just three years old and had difficulty connecting with the rhythm and routine of our lives. He was often trying to express himself but was unable to form words and communicate his needs and wants. Despite having participated in speech therapy, we were not seeing much progress. Along came Kellie and totally flipped this trend on its head. She immediately connected with him and was able to reward his efforts at speech and communication immediately. This made all the difference. Suddenly, what had become a tiresome chore, became his most loved activity of the week. Kellie is fun and energetic, and really helped him understand the value of communicating, even at his young age. Additionally, Kellie was instrumental in helping us obtain a ‘talker’ device that has been a wonderful tool through his progress in speech and academics. Even after we moved, Kellie provided innovative, teletherapy sessions that he was just as excited to attend as in person. Kellie Henkel really understands what it is to not have a voice, and she advocates for her clients in a meaningful way. She helped me, as a parent, understand how I could reinforce good communication and understanding, and she has helped us immeasurably. I have asked for her assistance during the IEP process at school, as well as advice for securing services in our area. I value her opinion above all other professionals we have worked with.
