What people are saying
“Our family can vouch that Kaia is a rare GEM. Both our boys met her individually weekly over many years for telehealth sessions. Even when combined with all the therapists our family used over years for them (OTs, PTs, in-person STs and counselors) she stands out as one of the very best.
She has both professional wealth of knowledge AND personal first-hand experiences working with neurodiverse kids day-in & out. We appreciated her listening ears, discernment and good insights into each kid’s core needs & situations. She is masterful at framing excellent targeted questions to kids, nurturing their social thinking & ownership of emotions & communications.
Though we were never in-person due to our location (too far to commute), our boys respected her sessions, motivated to work hard toward her clearly communicated goals that were practical, measurable and achievable. They were elated with her great affirmations each step of the way. She’s not only a great ST - she’s gifted as a coach, advocate & counselor. We were blessed to have found her and worked with her for a long time. We wish her the best as we’d do for a dear friend.”
“Kaia is a true professional. She individualizes her care plan and is always flexible in finding ways for a client to meet goals. She not only treats the client she includes and helps the family. She approaches every interaction with compassion, thoughtfulness, determination, and an amazing expertise. We will be forever grateful to have had Kaia in our lives. I highly recommend her.”
“I am incredibly grateful for the support from Ms. Kaia. Her tailored approach to addressing my son’s language delays was both remarkable and specifically designed to meet his needs. Not only did he improve his speech during the time she worked with him, but he also became more expressive!
As an educator myself, I understand the importance of having the necessary skills and abilities to serve children. More importantly, those who work with children must genuinely care for them. Kaia’s warmth, care, and compassion for her clients were evident from our very first session. Ms. Kaia is the best!”
