Kris Krajewski

Kris Krajewski is a licensed certified Speech/Language Pathologist with 27 years of experience in a variety of settings, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health, clinics, and schools. Her areas of special interest include improving communication skills in early intervention, Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Dyslexia, and foreign and regional accent modification. She has maintained a private practice since 2009. She has gained experience in delivering services through teletherapy, providing speech/language therapy services online to schools and to individual clients with a variety of ages and needs.

Over the years, Kris has seen the delivery of services change with the advent of new technology, and even though she describes herself as more of a “Fisher Price” therapist, she has experienced the value of providing online teletherapy services to those who do not have direct access to a therapist. Kris embraces the notion that traditional therapy techniques can be modified to fit the needs of individuals seeking online services. With “real world” interpersonal communication as the ultimate goal, Kris feels that teletherapy can be effective in the beginning stages of therapy for individuals who seem to gravitate to technology rather than people. She feels that providing teletherapy allows therapists to explore their creativity and grow professionally as they work to develop strategies and techniques that translate to success in this new, nontraditional format.

Kris is a proud native of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She graduated with her B.S. in Audiology and Speech Sciences from Michigan State University and her M.S. in Communicative Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She currently resides in White Lake, Michigan with her husband of 31 years. Kris has 3 extraordinary children and is an avid rescue mom for retired racing greyhounds.
