In this episode, I am joined by Kate Kurzhal, a certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist serving the South Bend, IN area.
She is the sole owner and operator of Therapeutic Interventions & 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.
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.
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.
