Success Stories

My son was very behind in speech and couldn’t talk properly and Kelly worked WONDERS!

“10/10 HIGHLY recommend! We spent right at a year give or take with Kelly and worked wonders!!! My son was very behind in speech and couldn’t talk properly and she worked WONDERS! He amazes me every single day listening to him read and thinking back to all the growth he has had. Kelly was always very accommodating and helped more times than I can count!”

Kelly Barrell is the best speech therapist in northwest GA

Kelly holds a special place in our hearts & has made such a huge impact on my son’s life.

“When we first started this journey with our son we were terrified. Had no idea what to except and so anxious with how they would handle his tantrums and breakdowns but that quickly changed when we met Mrs. Kelly. She eased our minds, handles our son like her own & explains everything in depth and detail. I remember just crying my eyes out at one appointment because I was so overwhelmed and our son was having an awful morning and she comforted me in the most genuine way. She holds a special place in our hearts & has made such a huge impact on his life. We’re forever grateful for our Mrs. Kelly.”

Our little town is so lucky to have Ms. Kelly!

“My son was referred to Ms Kelly by his pediatrician’s office for his speech delay. Right away, he loved going to his sessions. She made their time so fun and would use toys and puzzles to keep him interested. He would always tell me he wants to go see his teacher to play! I really appreciated that she would also show me how to practice with him at home and supplied me with worksheets and stickers! My son finished his time with Ms Kelly and his vocabulary and pronunciation have improved so much. Our little town is so lucky to have her!”

The entire staff at Communication Station is fantastic

“The entire staff is fantastic. Not only is my son learning and growing so fast but I am also learning just as much if not more to aid in my son’s growth. My son’s speech therapist is Mrs. Kelly. She is great with my son and does everything to ensure I’m getting the proper help for my son. I appreciate every therapist at the communication station.”

I felt so supported and empowered as a mom

“Jillian has done amazing with my twins! We started PT as soon as we discharged from NICU after an almost 2 month stay from being born at 29 weeks. At 40 week gestation we started Pt and it helped them so much! Jillian not only helped them but she helped educate me as a mom and gave me the best tools and resources I needed to help them succeed. Later she saw a need for feeding therapy and Kelly was absolutely amazing at helping me navigate those waters. She helped educate me and support with all things feeding and I felt so supported and empowered as a mom during our time with her and even still while we are waiting until our next visit after a follow up swallow study. I am so glad I committed to therapy for my babies because it made the difference in their growth and development! Our journey is not over but it has been worth it!”

“This place is fantastic hands down recommend! When anyone asks for my opinion into pediatric therapy this place is what I tell them. Both of my sons have had speech delays. Huge turn around for them. One of my boys worked with Bryn Lugo She is amazing and he really clicks with her. He gets so excited to see her. He is talking so much better since she has been working with him. My other son has worked with Kelly Barrell. She is amazing as well and very patient with him!”

We love the Communication Station!

“We love the Communication Station! My son has been seeing Christy Hendrickson for about 6 months and his progress has been amazing! She is the best occupational therapist we have ever worked with. She listens to our needs and helps us work to reach his goals. He has made so much progress in daily life skills since coming here. I highly recommend.”

“My twins have been receiving services with Ms. Kirsten -Speech and Kristen- OT for 6 months. They love going to Communication Station all their staff is so professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. They celebrate accomplishments and improvements with the kids, and are so encouraging! I am so glad we come here, and recommend them to everyone. Ms. Kelly has put together a terrific team!!”

To just describe the staff as professional, thoughtful, and caring doesn’t do them enough justice

“Thank you to Kelly Barrell and her amazing staff who initially started working with my child with delayed speech word order and pronunciation and quickly noticed she was having some motor skill difficulties and could not hold her pencil correctly. She started occupational therapy with Kristen Whaley and after 6 months she is able to hold her pencil correctly and her speech has improved drastically. Each week my child was beyond excited to see both of her therapists and the entire staff. To describe the staff and therapists as professional thoughtful caring doesn’t even do communication station enough justice. Thank you for helping my child achieve milestones!”

Every therapist there is wonderful and very determined to help parents understand and help their child grow

“I am grateful that my son has the opportunity to be apart of the communication station. Every therapist there is wonderful and very determined to help parents understand and help their child grow and become more independent. Mrs. Kristy is my son’s o.t. therapist. She is amazing with my son. Also she goes past her job responsibilities and literally has helped me as an adult with my ignorance on how to help my son progress in mentally and physically. Thank you so much Mrs. Kristy I appreciate everything you have done not only for my son but myself. THANK ALL OF YOU AT COMMUNICATION STATION.”

I don’t know where we would be without each and every one of you!

“We have seen Kristen, Kelly, Blakely, Jillian, and now one of the newer speech therapists Kirsten. My daughter graduated OT with Kristen, and my son is still receiving Speech, OT, and PT services with Kirsten, Kristen, and Jillian. Every therapist we’ve had the pleasure of working with has been amazing and made a huge difference in both my kiddos’ lives. I don’t know where we would be without each and every one of you!”
