We have been working with Lisa at Kindred Connections for two months now and have been extremely pleased with the services she has provided our son. She builds trust and a relationship quickly and with ease. We have seen rapid progress with our son's speech difficulties, but also huge improvements in his confidence and self esteem. Lisa provides engaging sessions and our son always leaves smiling and having worked hard. We would highly recommend her services.

We are so thankful to have found Lisa at Kindred Connections. From our first session, Lisa was so in tune with our son Jason's needs. She not only met him at his level, but challenged him in ways that have helped him thrive in and out of the classroom. Lisa is always finding new ways to improve Jason's speech and communication skills so that he can feel confident and successful. We cannot thank Lisa enough for her work with Jason. She has been such a great support not only to our son, but to our family. We are blessed to have her on Jason's team!

Lisa has worked with our son Brogen since August of 2016 and after one month of speech we could already hear a huge difference in his speech. He will ask in the mornings if it’s a speech day and is disappointed on days that he doesn’t get to see Lisa. Brogen is always asking when he gets to go see Lisa next. His confidence levels have gone through the roof. His grandparents and daycare provider have commented many times that they are better able to understand his speech. We so appreciate the time at the end of each session when she shares what they did during the session and will give us one specific task to focus on from that session to the next. We’ve been taking Brogen to Kindred Connections for only four months. We owe it all (the progress and his boost in confidence) to Lisa’s time and effort she has taken with him and us, for that we will forever be grateful!

Lisa has made a strong and positive impact in my three-year-old son’s life. He is imitating actions, sounds, and words. He has increased his attention to toys, objects, and sounds. He will participate and take turns during certain tasks such as stacking blocks or putting a toy together. He enjoys going to Kindred Connections and I can see they have a special bond together. Lisa does a great job of letting me know what’s been done in each session and things I can do at home as well. I would recommend Kindred Connections to anyone. She’s wonderful!

Lisa is an excellent speech language pathologist. She is very knowledgeable in her field and is very passionate about the work she does. Lisa is wonderful working with our daughter and keeps her engaged. She always encourages her to do her best and it’s great to see the progress she has and is making.
Lisa is very professional and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a speech therapist.
Having Lisa come into our home helps us see what she does, how we can help our child, and she gives us one task to focus on until the next session. She also incorporates materials from school during her sessions. We strongly recommend Lisa Kindred, from Kindred Connections for speech and language therapy.

Our four-year-old daughter has been working with Lisa since July of 2016 to improve her speech. Since that time, Norah has made great improvements and has learned to use the techniques that Lisa has taught her. Lisa has also spent time teaching us the techniques to use at home as well. Lisa was also in contact with our daycare provider to give her guidance in regards to Norah’s speech. She is always available by phone, text or email to give us feedback or answer any questions or concerns we may have. There has been an occasion when Norah has struggled with her speech and Lisa was able to see her that same day and provide support for us as a family. Not only is Lisa always available but she will also text us to check in on Norah to see how things are going, which is also appreciated. Norah enjoys going to see “Teacher Lisa” and is excited to go to “therapy.” Norah and Lisa work hard during their sessions together but always save some time at the end to have fun together, which is great to see. I would recommend Lisa to any family that is in need of speech therapy. She is a great resource to our family.

Lisa has had a major impact in our kids’ lives. She has been with our 11 year since she was in first grade as her speech teacher and advocate. Her influence and expertise have given our daughter confidence and skills that we could not have given her ourselves. Her work with our three year old literally ‘gave him a voice’ as he was not talking at 2 ½ years old. Her work has boosted his development past his early childhood and preschool teachers’ expectations. Both of our children LOVE working with her. She has been a blessing in our lives!
