Kim believes that communication is one of our most basic functions as humans that allows us to connect and relate with others. When a family is faced with a child that has impaired communication skills, she finds great joy in helping that family learn to more easily communicate with their child-whether it be through words, sign language, pictures, or an automated device.
Kim lives in Winnona Park in Decatur with her husband and 4 children, dog, cat, lizard and fish.
