Kristen is the owner and operator of Speech Therapy of Prosper which opened it's doors in the spring of 2015. Her motivation was to be able to serve each client better by addressing their individual needs and keeping caregivers involved in continuous progress. Empowering and coaching parents is an extraordinary boost in the success of each client.
STOP provides individualized therapy based on each client's communication disorder and therapy goals. Therapy is typically a 30-45 minute session 1 or 2 times per week targeting up to 5 goals based on results of evaluation. Duration of therapy is dependent on patient’s progress on goals and follow through on home program materials. Each client is different and the duration of treatment cannot be predicted. Dismissal from therapy is based on client progress and mastery of skill potential. Therapy can also be conducted in a group setting when appropriate.
