ABOUT US

Kidlfyx Kreations is the ever-evolving creation of two early interventionists in communication disorders, Jacque Scholl and Kristi Carpenter. Jacque, a pediatric audiologist, and Kristi, a speech pathologist, met many years before they began Kidlfyx. Firmly grounded in friendship, Jacque and Krisit combined their professional strengths and Kristi’s passion for design to form Kidlfyx Kreations.

Kidlfyx Kreations got its roots from the lack of imaginative products for the small hearing impaired patients that Jacque was seeing. In an effort to foster strong self esteem and ease the transition of hearing aid wear, Jacque began asking her longtime friend and colleague to make the products she needed. Kristi designed cute little purses and Jacque filled them with maintenance tools as part of her hearing aid fittings. Jacque listened to the parents about items that were useful and those which were not. Everyone was eager to help with the project Kristi and Jacque were beginning to undertake.

Jacque continued to look for products within her own industry which complained of stigma associated with hearing aids. However, she found the few products available were unattractive, unimaginative, and not always useful. Hence…the birth of Kidlfyx Kreations. In addition to providing products for special needs populations, the ABCs of Early Intervention for Communication Disorders is included with any purchase or request from Kidlfyx Kreations or sister site, Kidlfyx Koncepts. Jacque and Kristi advocate the earliest intervention possible and will send the word out anyway they can!

Jacque and Kristi have since realized that the special needs population is underserved in terms of cool products. They value input and feedback from parents, professionals and anyone else that has a need for something they can’t find. The products at Kidlfyx Kreations are individualized for the unique folks they are designed for.

Kristi’s inspiration for design comes from many “cool” nieces and nephews and her two beautiful babies, Sam and Sophi Kate. Sam and Sophi Kate arrived in the United States in March, 2005, from Guatemala. Jacque’s passion for working with children comes from her wonderful son, Nicholas, who was a great surprise and blessing late in life. Together, Kristi and Jacque work hard to bring great joy to other children and families who may be going through difficult transitions.

Kristi received her undergraduate degree in communication disorders from Oklahoma State University in 1989 and her graduate degree from Oklahoma University in speech pathology in 1991. She works as a speech pathologist as part of Oklahoma’s early intervention team.

Jacque received her undergraduate degree in communication disorders from Missouri State University (formerly Southwest Missouri State University) in 1997 and her graduate degree in 1999. She recently finished her doctorate in Audiology from the Arizona Health Sciences Center. Jacque is employed at the Tulsa City-County Health Department in Child Guidance and works with Oklahoma state’s early intervention team.
