About
Our Approach
What is different about KIDZ?
We like to think it starts with our philosophy of success and a team of dedicated members who know how to achieve it.
We are here for the KIDZ and their families. The challenge of a special needs child or teen impacts the entire family. It takes teamwork and special care. While it can seem overwhelming at first, there is a way to greatly improve the day to day challenges the KIDZ and their families face.
Our Philosophy
We start with our KIDZ Evaluation Session that assesses where the patients skills and abilities are on day one. To have a lifestyle challenges conversation with the parents. Then we develop a KIDZ Personalized Development Plan that lays out a program that will best impact the patient’s ability to independently function day-to-day in the family.
Our Process
We focus on the most basic mental and physical abilities that impact the broadest set of day to day skills. At first, what appears to be a series of baby steps, builds into real progress as they start to impact the day to day ability of the patient to perform daily tasks that have a true impact on the patients ability to function more independently.
Results
It is not just reaching the end of the path or program, but we celebrate one step at a time. We want our patients to feel like STARZ. We encourage success through celebrating accomplishments by showing our patients and families that putting in the effort and sticking to the routine will result in accomplishment. This builds HOPE, DREAMS and SUCCESS for our KIDZ and their Families.
Don't wait another year for them to grow out of it...
Take the next step, so that you can help them now!

Rachel Rowland M.S. CCC-SLP
I am Rachel, the speech supervisor at KTN. I love being a speech-language pathologist because I get to help children find their voices and help build their confidence in their communication skills. I’m especially passionate about supporting children with gestalt language processing and using AAC to give every child a way to communicate. I enjoy meeting kids where they are, honoring their unique communication styles, and turning therapy into meaningful, play-based interactions. Whether it’s helping a child build language from scripts or empowering them to express themselves through AAC, every step forward is worth celebrating. Being part of that journey and helping children connect with others in their own way is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
Jordan Signorelli OTR/L
I am the OT supervisor and community manager, so if you see a social media post, IT WAS ME! I have been an OT for 10 years with experience across multiple settings working in hand therapy, neuro rehab, orthopedics, repetitive strain injuries, contracture management, and pediatrics with a speciality focusing on sensory behavioral feeding. I became a feeding therapist because my son has ARFID and I founded The Full Belly Club to "UNDO" picky eating for my family and yours. I am interactive metronome certified and my motto is "You're not having fun, the kids aren't having fun".
