“About 4 years ago, Bob was Life-Flighted to Boise after he suffered a stroke at 2 AM.
When he returned to Hailey, Kerri Everett was his Speech Therapist and she developed a comprehensive program to deal with his aphasia, reading challenges, loss of numbers and reasoning ability. We immediately liked Kerri. Her patience and sense of humor helped both of us feel relaxed and hopeful during this incredibly difficult and stressful time. She also helped Leslie with ways to support Bob's efforts.
Kerri always emphasized functional activities so Bob could return to feeling comfortable socially and capable of returning to our community.
When Kerri decided to open her own private practice, we followed her so Bob could continue to progress and benefit from Kerri's positive encouragement and professional expertise. We are glad to recommend Kerri for any age patient and any language situation where help is needed.”

“Sadly, my wife was knocked unconscious and suffered a severe trauma brain injury resulting from a bike accident.
While on vacation in Idaho, we met with Kerri to support my wife's recovery.
Kerri is exceptionally experienced and talented in understanding the impacts and recovery mechanisms for trauma brain injuries.
She helped my wife with the key recovery concepts of awareness, attention, fatigue, and executive functioning. I was particularly impressed with her ability to listen, and to teach both of us specific skills to address those challenges.
We do not live locally in the Ketchum area, but extended our stay two weeks in order to continue working with Kerri and other therapists as my wife's recovery was thriving under the support of Kerri and others. I would highly recommend Kerri as a therapist.”

“My wonderful and complicated son began working with Kerri early this year.
We sought her help for his executive functioning issues. He was diagnosed twice exceptional as a child and this has led to issues with depression. Our highest expectation was that they connect. She quickly recognized his motivation is tied to interest which is fueled by relationships.
I am thrilled to say that not only have my son and Kerri built rapport but I believe they have a relationship that will allow him to take advantage of her expert knowledge and tools which will give him the opportunity to maximize his potential. Kerri shows great compassion, knowledge and purpose in her work and we are better for it!”
