Testimonials

"Miss Kacey has been such a blessing to our family. She has helped to guide us though our son's Autism journey. I would highly recommend her services to any family looking to support their child's communication needs and beyond."

"My child was non-verbal when he started therapy. He is now able to communicate his wants and needs which has made a world of a difference in our household. We are all less frustrated. My husband and I are grateful for the progress our son has made so far."

"Miss Kacey is a phenomenal SLP! While my son was enrolled in an early intervention program because of a speech delay, Kacey was thorough, kind and intuitive. So much so that we later had him further evaluated and realized he was on the spectrum. Upon learning that, Miss Kacey provided invaluable knowledge and tips that could help start my son's speech and it did! We have since moved on but still use some of the tips Miss Kacey has provided and we are forever grateful and appreciative of her knowledge and working with us."
