Speechie Side Up show

Summary: <p>In this episode, I am joined by Kate Kurzhal, a certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist serving the South Bend, IN area. </p> <p>She is the sole owner and operator of Therapeutic Interventions &amp; Solutions, LLC. Her interest in the field began as a young adult while helping her Dad run "Learn to Skate" clinics where several children and their families with varying disorders learned how to ice-skate. She recalls one parent saying, "watching my son's smile out there is all I really want." which in turn pushed her to find a career that would afford more of these moments through therapy.</p> <p>She is a proud double graduate from Indiana University-Bloomington with proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL). She then returned to South Bend where she has worked across a variety of settings. </p> <p>She attributes these diverse hands-on experiences to be significant in her practice today. She ultimately loves giving families tools, strategies and functional ways to apply therapy to support the needs of those they love.</p> <p><br></p>
