OUR SERVICES
Communication & Swallowing Therapy
Complete Scope holistically evaluates and treats adult communication and swallowing disorders. We specialize in working with head and neck cancer and stroke patients, focusing on maximizing speech and eating skills in your daily life and social settings. We understand that our clients make the most progress when we take a team approach, collaborating with patients, family members, and medical professionals.
Pediatric Speech Therapy
At Complete Scope, we treat speech sound disorders in children and teens. With extensive knowledge and training in speech sound development and orofacial structure, we promote awareness and correct articulatory placement using speech drills and high-repetition activities. We help our patients master challenging speech sounds to speak clearly and communicate with confidence.
Myofunctional Therapy for All Ages
At Complete Scope, our myofunctional therapy approach goes beyond simply addressing structural aspects to targeting all 4 areas of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs)—structure, airway, feeding, and speech—to improve overall health and eliminate the need for other interventions. Our sessions focus on exercises in the context of games, books, and tools to make each session engaging and effective.
Mobile FEES ~ Swallowing Assesssments
Complete Scope provides a gentle and thorough Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). FEES uses an endoscope to visualize a patient's swallow as they eat and drink. Our mobile FEES equipment allows us to perform high-quality diagnostic assessments in each patient's most comfortable setting, including their home, assisted living facility, skilled nursing facility, or medical office.
MEET KIM
Kimberly Almstrom, MA, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
With over 20 years of experience as a speech and swallowing therapist, Kim has developed clinical skills across the complete scope of her field— assessing and treating patients of all ages with speech, language, cognitive, voice, myofunctional, and swallowing disorders.
In a time where much of healthcare has shifted towards large corporate companies that often have a "factory style" of providing care, Kim recognized a need for a small-scale provider who values one-on-one, quality care.
She founded Complete Scope Speech & Swallowing Services to achieve this goal. Kim also goes above and beyond to incorporate each patient's interests into her therapy sessions— for example, using recipes and grocery lists in therapy sessions for an avid baker or using fishing magazines and a tackle box in sessions for a fisherman. Her sessions are always functional, motivating, and patient-centered!
​
Kim is highly skilled in diagnosing swallowing disorders using the gold standard in swallowing assessment, FEES (performed with an endoscope with a camera). She also has advanced training in manual therapy and trismus rehabilitation for head and neck cancer management as well as speech, voice, and swallowing disorders. In her spare time, she enjoys being with her family, taking yoga and Pilates classes, shopping, and boating. She is an eternal optimist and positive person which shows in everything she does. Kim looks forward to partnering with you and your loved ones on the journey to recovery!
