"After waiting 7 years for an SLT, Kristen arrived in town and we were lucky enough that she took our son on. Within weeks she made a difference to his speech. Kristen, I delight in watching you progressively work my boy out and love how you change it up to get more from him...Thanks for your hard work this year. Isn't it making such a wonderful, positive difference?! Wow! I knew it would."
