Kristen Kane

About

I am an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist and the owner of Central Oregon Speech and Language since 2022. While I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages and a wide range of communication needs, I am especially passionate about treating articulation and phonological disorders—I genuinely love working on /r/!—as well as orofacial myofunctional disorders and stuttering.

Care Philosophy

My advanced training in orofacial myofunctional disorders allows me to combine my interest in whole-person health with my passion for speech-language pathology. I enjoy looking beyond individual speech skills to consider the underlying factors that may influence communication, breathing, oral function, and overall well-being. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized therapy that helps children communicate with greater confidence while supporting their overall development. Just as important to me is building strong relationships with the families I serve. I truly enjoy getting to know each child and their family, understanding what matters most to them, and finding meaningful ways to support them throughout their speech and language journey. I strive to care for every family with the same warmth, commitment, and thoughtfulness I would want for my own
