When the struggle to get dressed and ride in her car seat resulted in tantrums every day, I knew we needed to seek help for Isla. We are so grateful we found Krystal. From the very first session, she was nothing but caring, attentive and supportive of Isla’s needs. The education Krystal provided on how Isla’s sensory system was working helped us understand that she wasn’t just “acting out” and that her body was perceiving the clothes and car seat straps as painful. Krystal provided us with strategies, techniques and resources that significantly improved her ability to tolerate dressing and riding in her car seat. We saw so much progress within a short amount of time working with her, and we are grateful that we can get dressed and go for car rides with no screaming and tantrums! Most importantly, Isla adores Krystal and enjoyed the time spent with her. She continues to ask when she gets to go “play with Krystal” again! Thank you for the impact you are having on kids’ lives!

“Our family wanted to see Anderson gain more skills but knew that the minimal time of occupational therapy and skill-building at school was just not cutting it. Prairie Grit Therapy began offering therapy sessions and it couldn’t have been at a better time! We immediately consulted with Krystal and Anderson began sessions.

Krystal used assessments to get to know Anderson and the challenges he faces. She gave suggestions and resources on how to incorporate learning strategies and skill-building at home.

We have been impressed with Anderson’s progress and are very pleased with the goals he is working on through his sessions. Anderson is learning new skills through “play,” and he doesn’t even realize he is working so hard!”

When you walk into Prairie Grit Therapy, you are immediately struck by the fun, enticing atmosphere — a place kids and adults alike both want to be. Walking my boys in to see Krystal, I have heard other children, eyes wide, whisper to their moms, “How do you get in there?” But it’s more than just the atmosphere, Krystal is so calm, knowledgeable and thorough. She has the success of your child at heart and provides many opportunities for growth by meeting your child at their level and pushing them to go further. My boys beam and are so proud when they realize they can do something that they previously feared they couldn’t. Thank you, Prairie Grit Therapy, and thank you, Krystal.

My baby girl and I loved Kaari! She has made so much progress since we have come to see her. The exercises were very helpful and easy to carry over to our home. Kaari was always willing to answer my questions and ease my first-time mom worries. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does.

Lexi has been amazing to work with. She makes activities fun and motivating for the patient to participate in. Lexi is very knowledgeable and is excited to share her passion to help my son achieve his goals. My son is always excited to go and play with “Miss Lexi.”

Karlie has helped Gabe in so many ways to grow even more. She has given me the tools to help keep a calm and happy home when before it was just pure chaos. I couldn’t be more thankful for Karlie and the Prairie Grit establishment! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Working with Lexi has been a great experience. She is so kind and is great at finding new ways to keep my son engaged. Speech therapy is a highlight every week for us!
