Meet the Team

“Connections has been an amazing place for our child to grow..."

“Connections has been an amazing place for our child to grow and get the support he needed. Our neighbor told us it would be the best place possible for him, and she was absolutely right. They encouraged him and our family through a huge learning curve and lots of bumps along the way, and we truly could not have asked for more in the areas of expertise and compassion. What a resource they are to the greater Lansing community!”
“...we saw great improvements in our daughter's speech!"

"Connections staff was supportive and easy to work with! We loved working with Kim, and we saw great improvements in our daughter's speech!"
“Connections has been the answer to our dreams..."

“Connections has been the answer to our dreams for our 8-year-old! He is articulating like never before, is excited for speech, and is motivated to work. He understands the cues for targeted sounds during speech and responds positively when asked to use them while in the “real world”.”
“She will create a magical world of language play for your child..."

“Miss Tara listens to us, helps us understand speech and language terminology, and makes meaningful and relevant connections. For our son, practicing sounds at Connections means he also gets Miss Tara to play football or bake cookies! She will create a magical world of language play for your child, and the results will be incredible!”
“We will forever be grateful for Tara's expertise..."

“There are no words for the level of appreciation we have for Tara Mahaney. Our daughter started speech therapy with Tara just after her 6th birthday. We had hoped that much of her speech would improve after her first year in school, but our daughter was still very frustrated by her speech obstacles. We are so impressed by our daughter’s growth in JUST 6 SESSIONS of working with Tara! Tara is super engaging. The activities she does with our daughter are fun and entertaining, so it doesn't even seem like the hard “work” that it is. Finding Tara has been a gift to our daughter. Tara is truly invested in her growth and well-being. We will forever be grateful for Tara's expertise, and we will always appreciate the loving way she works with our daughter.”
