I have answered this survey four times in the past month and my answers are always the same. How many times do you plan to ask this?
-
Speech Therapy was very helpful and I didn't even think I needed it at the beginning. I mentioned to my neurologist that I was diagnosed with silent aspiration so she ordered an evaluation. Turns out I needed it a lot more than I thought. She provided education, resources and support. Also helped provide cognitive resources and we worked on those. She is a great resource to have available.
-
She works with you not on you, She makes sure I understand what we are doing and why, but in a nice way so you feel you can respond truthfully. SHE CARES!

This is the first lesson that I have had with someone who deals specifically in PD. It went very well indeed.
-
It is really great to have an SLP who understands what I'm going through!
-
Kylee sent me some websites as to where I can look up information at libraries for the possibility of me reading to children. Having taught for 31 years, this is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. We also discussed that I am going to go by my grandson’s elementary school to see if I can read to the younger children.
-
makes you feel good about yourself but is good at masking you want to be better
-
Kylee is a breath of fresh air. When I met with Kylee this morning, I was feeling quite down and within just a few minutes, I noticed that my mood had shifted. She always looks me straight in the eye when talking to me and that means a lot. Even though I’m going through a lot of issues, Kylee is one of my team members that I always look forward to seeing.
-
I'm sorry to say that Mr. English was half asleep and not responding very well. Kylee did the best she could under the circumstances. He is not the same way every day, and it's hard to know ahead of time how anything might go. Kylee tried hard, but I'm afraid that I did more talking than my husband today.
-
That was the second speech therapy session that I had with Kylee. Her patience is super while she explains what I am doing right then wrong. I am also aware that she is in touch with my "specialist" (Dr. Ferluga) which I appreicate.
-
if more people could have her help more would talk better/SHE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!
-
There were some problems with the internet, as Kylee's picture would stop and start at times though her voice was consistent. Not sure where the problem originated. Might have come from our end, but it's hard to tell.
-
have said before n ikk say again SHE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Kylee is wonderful. She is knowledgable about how speech and language problems affect a person with Parkinson's and she is flexible in her application of that knowledge, which is very important to me, since no two patients are alike.
-
She is very good, nothing else to say.
-
NO
-
very helpful
-
I always look forward to my sessions with Kylee. I never feel stressed with her and I never feel that she’s judging me in anyway.
-
This was the first time using the speaker recently purchased and it made a great difference in helping Kylee hear and understand Ralph. (written by Joan)
-
Kylee is very good in all ways and can help anyone who listens to her. When I started I was bad, no one could understand me when talking, now they hear me great, I even make phone calls which I couldn't before. I feel good about myself. MAY HAVE PD BUT WITH PEOPLE LIKE HER I CAN KEEP IMPROVING.
-
I’ve said before that I always look forward to the days that I have therapy with Kylee. She’s warm and caring and extremely helpful.
