Hannah O'Connor

Hi! I’m Hannah. I chose the field of Speech-Language Pathology because of the impact it has on a child and their family. My journey began when I witnessed a young cousin navigating the world as a late talker; while he lacked words, his gestures spoke volumes. That experience taught me that communication looks different for everyone and requires a keen, empathetic eye to interpret. Today, I strive to be that advocate for my students and families. It gives me great pride to be someone who truly hears what they are trying to say and helps them find the tools to expand their voice.

I have served a wide range of clients in the early intervention and school settings. Too deepen my clinical experience, I will attend various sessions at the Bjorem conference (May 2026) to spark new ideas and support my growth as a professional. Additionally, I plan to pursue extensive training in providing treatment and supporting individuals who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

My clinical approach is highly individualized and client-centered, with an emphasis on sensory integration strategies to support regulation and engagement. I also prioritize strengths-based care and functional outcomes that matter most to each individual and their family.
