Evidence-based practice
Remaining current with pediatric speech, language, and communication research.
Meet Hannah
A warm, thoughtful partner in your child’s communication.
A little about who I am, how I think about care, and what you can expect from working together.
Introduction
Hello, I’m Hannah.
I'm a speech-language pathologist, and I created Integrative Speech & Language to offer families a more personal, thoughtful kind of pediatric care — the kind built on real relationships and a genuine understanding of each child.
I think about communication as something deeply connected to the rest of a child's life: their relationships, their confidence, how they participate and learn, how they regulate, and how they move through an ordinary day. That whole-child view shapes everything I do.
My work is grounded in current evidence and shaped by warmth. I take time to understand what connection looks like for each child and family, and I design support that feels natural, affirming, and effective.
What I believe
How I think about care
A few beliefs guide every partnership at Integrative Speech & Language.
The whole child
I look beyond any single skill to the whole child — how communication connects to their relationships, confidence, learning, regulation, and everyday participation.
Families as partners
Parents and caregivers know their child best. I see families as essential partners, and I want the priorities that matter to you to shape the work we do.
Collaboration
Children are supported by many people. I collaborate with educators and other professionals so everyone involved is working toward the same goals.
Thoughtful practice
I value continuing education and careful clinical decision-making, drawing on current evidence while staying responsive to each individual child.
Credentials
Qualifications & background
Licensure, certification, education, and the clinical settings where I trained.
- Massachusetts licensure
- Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
- National certification
- Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP), ASHA
- Education
- Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology
- Clinical training
- Internship placements across Massachusetts public school and collaborative settings, along with graduate assistantship experience in a speech and hearing clinic. Training also included medical settings — among them acute care, working alongside interdisciplinary teams on bedside and instrumental swallowing evaluations and cognitive-communication assessment with inpatient and outpatient adults.
Lifelong learning
Supporting children means continually growing as a clinician.
Every year I invest in continuing education to ensure the families I serve benefit from current research, thoughtful clinical practice, and collaborative care.
Airway & orofacial development
Currently expanding expertiseExpanding knowledge in breathing, oral function, craniofacial development, and interdisciplinary care.
Executive function
Supporting organization, self-regulation, attention, and independence.
Parent coaching
Helping caregivers confidently support communication outside of therapy sessions.
Pediatric feeding
Continuing education in oral development, feeding, and related pediatric concerns.
Collaborative care
Learning alongside occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists, physicians, educators, and other professionals to provide comprehensive, family-centered support.
One of my core values is remaining a lifelong learner. I believe families deserve care that reflects both clinical experience and the latest evidence — not approaches that haven't evolved with the research.
