About Kinney Speech Therapy- Britta Kinney
My goal is to provide each client with a comprehensive evaluation to create a custom therapy services treatment plan that will address their total communication needs. Through these tailored and individualized therapy services, I aim to promote efficient and meaningful communication skills to ensure success in all other areas of life.
I have extensive experience as a SLP in school districts and private practice, providing diagnostic and treatment services to individuals with speech, language, and social impairments, including the areas of articulation/phonology, voice, fluency, receptive and expressive language, and pragmatics/social skills. During my years working in the schools I collaborated with other professionals as part of a multidisciplinary team to meet the unique needs of both general education and SDC students with multiple diagnoses.
I have provided consultation services to teachers, parents and staff, including parent education presentations , acting as SLP representative in the Autism Specialty department, heading an SLP committee for development of standardized referral procedures, and providing teacher in-services on supporting the development of language skills.
Britta is so kind and caring. My son has more confidence and is speaking We just love her .

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with you, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon your strengths. If there are others part of your care team, the therapist may teach strategies for supporting your individualized needs at home and may recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help you thrive.
Monitor your progress. You can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure you're achieving your short and long-term goals.
