Hi! I'm Kendra, and I'm the founder of Sharing Hunter's Voice.  I'm a momma to two amazing kids, who always keep me on my toes!  I'm also a pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant with 10 years of experience.  My first experience with SGDs came from working at a clinic near home.  I learned a lot from the clients I saw as well as from the Speech Therapists I worked with.  It was in this clinic where I really took to heart the phrase: "everyone deserves a voice."  I enjoy working with kids; celebrating all their success, and helping families problem solve challenges. I am excited to help kids find their own voice!  I love to spend time with my family camping, playing games, or movie nights! I relax by kayaking, or drinking a beer at a local brewery.

As a parent, you always want the best for your child, but sometimes, you don’t know where to start. I first noticed something was different when Dylan, at 18 months, wasn’t babbling like other kids her age. While watching Miss Rachel, I saw developmental milestones she wasn’t meeting. Concerned, I reached out to our pediatrician, who took my concerns seriously and connected us with early childhood intervention.

That’s when we met Julie, who quickly recognized Dylan’s challenges and introduced us to a speech therapist. Soon after, she was diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech. One of the biggest turning points was when Julie recommended an AAC device. It gave Dylan a way to communicate, reducing her frustration and allowing her to engage with the world in ways she couldn’t before. It built her confidence, strengthened her connections with others, and became a stepping stone for her speech development.

This journey has been life-changing for our family, and I encourage other parents to trust their instincts and seek support. Early intervention, the right professionals, and the right tools can make all the difference.
