Meet Kim Jenkins
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist
Kim is a neurodiversity-affirming speech therapist who is passionate about helping autistic children and their families flourish. Empowering Speech Services was built on the idea that authentic and meaningful communication can be achieved by focusing on your child's strengths, meeting their sensory needs, following their lead, and empowering family members in the process. We will spend time getting to know your child - what makes them happy, what interests them, and what their unique strengths and challenges are.
Mission
Empowering Speech Services is committed to helping your child use natural, self-generated language to effectively produce all of their wants, needs, thoughts, protests, feelings, and ideas.
Our Approach
Our speech therapy sessions are child-led and conducted through play. We model language through the strategies of Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) to support development of original, self-generated language.
