Meet Your Speech & Feeding Therapist

Welcome! I’m Kenzie Wittrock.

Kenzie Wittrock, pediatric and adult speech therapist, feeding therapist, swallowing therapist, and FEES provider at Speech Pathways in Carroll, IA

I’m a speech therapist with 10 years of experience helping individuals reach their speech, language, feeding, and swallowing goals. I’ve had the privilege of supporting infants, children, and adults at every stage of life!

After working in local hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and home health settings, I set out on my own to open Speech Pathways in 2024. My vision was to bring compassionate, personalized therapy services to the Carroll community, especially for families seeking feeding support closer to home.

I’m committed to collaborating with caregivers, family members, school support staff, and other medical professionals to help my clients get the best outcomes from therapy. At Speech Pathways, we’ll always focus on what matters most to you and build therapy sessions around your personal definition of success. I can’t wait to show you how life-changing therapy can be!

"It has been great to work with Kenzie..."

"It has been great to work with Kenzie as she helped our daughter with her speech. She’s opened up so much since starting with Kenzie, and we know she’s ready to take on preschool this fall. Our daughter will miss seeing her each week!"
"Kenzie is amazing!"

"Kenzie is amazing! She made (our son) feel so comfortable and he enjoyed coming to his appointments. We have seen a huge improvement in his speech and are so grateful for her help!"
"Her services and positive impact have been a gift to us!"

"Kenzie worked wonders with my son's anxiety around eating different foods, to the point where he is now requesting seconds of foods he wouldn't even look at before. I had no idea tongue positioning was impacting his eating in such a negative way before seeing Kenzie. She also helped him with speech. She made both of these services so much fun for him, and she taught me so much too. Her services and positive impact have been a gift to us!"
"Kenzie is very informative and the sweetest person!"

"Speech Pathways and working with Kenzie was absolutely amazing! Our daughter had the hardest time with feeding and latching on the bottle. She absolutely loves Kenzie, and we are going to miss our weekly appointments! Kenzie is very informative and the sweetest person!"
"...would highly recommend her for any speech needs!"

"We had such success with our visits for (myofunctional) therapy! Kenzie really took the time to explain the exercises and was flexible with our schedule. Wonderful experience and would highly recommend her for any speech needs!"
"Such a great experience with Kenzie!"

"Such a great experience with Kenzie! The appointments were fun for my son and taught me so much so that I could continue to help him at home! When we started speech therapy, he was only using 20-25 words, today he uses over 100!"
"Every session was fun!"

"Kenzie was awesome! She talked with my daughter in a way she could understand and helped fix her tongue positioning and feeding difficulties. Every session was fun! The way Kenzie communicated with us showed that she really cared and wants to help."

Here’s how you can get started with speech pathways:

Speech Pathways Speech & Swallowing Solutions clinic in Carroll, IA

We offer free phone consultations in order to determine whether a formal evaluation may be beneficial. If so, we will get you scheduled for your initial evaluation during the call.
If you are wanting to use insurance, we do ask that you contact your physician to request that a referral be sent to Speech Pathways. We’ll be here to help with the referral process if you have any trouble along the way!
You’ll receive some online intake paperwork, which must be completed before your first appointment. This allows us to understand any concerns and medical history prior to evaluating you or your loved one.
We’ll meet for an evaluation at our clinic in Carroll, IA! Once testing is complete, we’ll discuss our findings and recommendations, and then make a plan for therapy together.
At this time, we will submit to insurance for prior authorization, if required. We typically schedule your first therapy session about one week after the evaluation, pending insurance approval.
We look forward to meeting you!
