Our History
Kid Talk is a pediatric therapy clinic that was founded in 2001 by speech pathologist and owner, Candy Almquist. Candy’s passion to help children in her community in a personalized and skilled setting has evolved over the years and her team has grown to include numerous speech and occupational therapists, two administrative staff, and two more co-owners at clinic locations in Victoria and Savage.
Kid Talk’s Goal
Kid Talk is a pediatric therapy clinic that provides speech, occupational, feeding, and myofunctional therapy to children in our surrounding communities. At Kid Talk, our professional therapists strive to provide skilled therapy services in a safe and welcoming environment. It is our goal to collaborate with families, school staff, and physicians with a “team approach” to ensure the best quality care and a functional treatment plan. Our smaller clinic setting allows us the opportunity to establish personal relationships with our patients and their families to work together to meet the needs of each individual child. We love to watch the children we work with blossom and meet their full potential!
We Go the Extra Mile for Your Child’s Success
Family Involvement
Nothing matches the thrill of seeing your child succeed! That is why we strongly encourage parents and other caregivers to attend their child’s treatment sessions and get involved in our therapy process. In our experience, a child whose caregiver is 100% involved in their therapy progresses more rapidly and carries over acquired skills to all environments more easily.
It is expected at Kid Talk that caregivers will attend most of their child’s treatment sessions in order to observe and demonstrate an understanding of what the therapist is asking them to do at home. When appropriate, caregivers are given ideas or daily activities to complete on a daily basis at home.
