EASTER SEALS THERAPIST NAMED A HERO

Easter Seals of the Birmingham Area is proud to announce that Pediatric Speech Pathologist Kandis Harris was recently named a Health Care Hero finalist by the Birmingham Business Journal in the category of Health Care Provider Non-Physician.

Kandis has been providing services at Easter Seals for more than five years and continues to make an impact on the lives of children with disabilities. Providing speech therapy, Kandis has given a voice to many children that would not have been able to communicate otherwise. She is a specialist in Augmentative Communication devices, better known as talkers. Often times, children use a talker as a way to let you know what they want and need or as a bridge to help them become verbal. “I love helping people to communicate,” said Kandis. “The best feeling in the world is working with a child that’s non-verbal and then you see their faces light up when they finally have a way to tell you what they need.”

Easter Seals of the Birmingham Area is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We have been providing services for children and adults with disabilities in Jefferson, Shelby, Blount, St.Clair and Walker counties for more than 40 years. Our mission is to create solutions that change the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families.  Learn more at www.eastersealsbham.org.
