“Without the support from Kennedy Krieger, he wouldn’t be where he is now.” - Mary

"Dr. Cabahug is kind, patient, thoughtful, attentive, and resourceful. She spent the time necessary to adequately assess my complicated health situation and chronic pain. No physician has ever asked as many questions nor listened like she did. She made referrals, recommendations and educated. I am grateful that the KKI allows their doctors to practice medicine as it should be practiced. Thank you Dr. Cabahug for being the compassionate human."

Philippines Cabahug, MD

"At age 65, I never thought I would run again, less complete in a race! I am continuing my PT and my strength, motion, and balance have all improved. Of course, I know that I will never be the same after the damage from the AVM in my spine, but Alison and the entire team at KKI have given me the confidence that I can still achieve."

Alison Staples, PTA

"When my daughter was a little girl, she couldn’t walk or talk, she couldn’t stand straight up by herself. Now she can walk and talk, and is saying many words. She is a big and happy little girl. Because of all the dedication from what the therapists do every single time, she is a strong girl and she can do so many things. We are happy."

Ashley Goyette, M.S., OTR/L

"This lovely doctor takes her time with my daughter, now 5, each time she has a visit. It has been just about two years. She knows her well and is very invested in her. Dr Kavi has excellent recommendations, outstanding referrals, goals and treatment."

Kavita Nadendla, MD

"I was admitted to the International Center for Spinal Cord Injury in Fulton, MD for two months of physical therapy to address gait and balance challenges related to Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. I’m deeply grateful for the life-changing care I received. From Dr. Cabahug’s clear guidance to Natalie Albright’s outstanding therapy program... I felt fully supported throughout my journey. Thank you for making such a difference!"

Natalie Albright, PT, DPT, PCS

"When my daughter was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, I felt overwhelmed about her communication. After six months working with Rachel, my daughter has gained confidence in her speech and now follows two- to three-step directions at home. We’ve learned effective strategies from Rachel that have helped us feel less afraid and more hopeful about her future. We are truly grateful for Rachel’s dedication."

Rachel Blaustein, M.S., CCC-SLP, CAS

"I have seen Cam between 2025 and 2026. He is the only therapist that made me feel walking as possible. For my summer Boot Camp I walk for the first time in 15 years. He is hard-working, compassionate, and designs programs for every need. Thank you, Cam"

Cameron Beylo PT, DPT, CMTPT/DN

"Heather McCormick, Deanna Johnson, and Erin Boland made our experience with Kennedy Krieger incredible while caring for our 2.5-month-old daughter. As first-time parents, we felt supported with compassion, expertise, and understanding at every visit... Sarah Miller also provided invaluable support as I navigated feeding and perinatal challenges—I would not be the mother I am today without her guidance. Thank you, TOTS."

Heather McCormick, M.S., CCC-SLP, CLC

"When our son, who has CP, was 2 years old, Lauren assessed him for assistive technology communication needs… From the beginning, she recognized his potential and continually guided and encouraged us that he would master eye-gaze communication. She never gave up, providing resources and expertise to help him reach the heights he has achieved… We know how fortunate we are to have had Lauren."

Lauren Tooley, M.S., CCC-SLP

"I am honored to be one of Dr. Korth’s patients. As an adult with spina bifida, care can be disjointed and frustrating. Dr. Korth acknowledges this while constantly looking to learn and expand what it means to provide all of life care. She is a rare combination of curiosity and rigor, empathy and professionalism, and is innovative and evidence based. She is a powerhouse."

Sarah A. Korth, M.D., Director of The Philip A. Keelty Center for Spina Bifida & Related Conditions

Natalie Delgado is my daughter's psychologist… She has been a great help to both my daughter and me. She is an excellent and compassionate person who understands the pain of others and truly cares about her patients. As a mother, I have felt heard—I’ve been able to talk about difficult times, and she is always there to listen and offer encouraging words… She keeps the entire team informed of our concerns. We love you, Natalie, and you have our admiration.

Natalie Delgado, Psy.D

"Ms. Nicole is kind, warm, receptive, and respectful, and she is always very accommodating. She makes the therapy experience pleasant, and my son truly enjoys working with her. She consistently provides thoughtful feedback and recommendations for improvement. Her passion for what she does is evident, and it is truly a blessing to have her as my son’s speech therapist."

Nicole Martingano M.S. CCC-SLP

"We would like to thank Erin Berkenridge and the entire neurology team for the care provided to our daughter. Through her two inpatient stays, we have been able to find better treatments for her seizures. Erin, along with Dr. Gupta and his team, made us feel like partners in our daughter's treatment. They took our concerns seriously and worked to find answers."

Siddhart Gupta, M.B.B.S.

"During this year, his speech and social skills blossomed as a consequence of her giftedness, passion, and tenacity. Ms. Kelly was always going the extra mile to figure out where my son needed support and work on ways to figure out how to best support him. She is so committed that this support continued into other aspects of my sons life outside of the program... our family is so thankful."

Kelly Olanoff, M.S., CCC-SLP, ATP

"Ms. Martha is truly an amazing SLP (and person). My son is lucky enough to be in her achievements group this year, and his growth has been amazing to watch, and so much of it is thanks to her. Martha is kind, patient, and enthusiastic with all of the children she works with. She never stops trying to use new ways to problem solve and adapt."

Martha Davis, M.S., CCC-SLP

"My two teenage boys have significant behavioral health needs. Dr. Torbey helps us manage their care by listening to what we need and respecting our voices as parents. When one of them is in crisis, she is very responsive and works with us, and other doctors, diligently to make sure everyone is on the same page. She truly cares for my children."

Souraya Torbey, MD

"When our son was just 18 days old, we were overwhelmed by a lip and tongue tie release... Kara became the steady guide we didn’t know we needed. With her expertise and advocacy, she helped turn feeding from a painful, frustrating experience into a meaningful and comfortable connection. Kara also supported me as a mother—easing my stress, building my confidence, and reminding me I was doing a great job."

Kara Thomas, M.S., CCC-SLP, CLC

Your hard work does not go unnoticed. We are so incredibly grateful for everything."
