Kimberly Hinks

Hi! I’m Kimberly. As someone who received speech therapy as a young child, I was always drawn to helping others and showing someone their fullest potential in everything they do. I have have always wanted to be an advocate with helping someone find their voice. I also love assisting others with their big and small wins in all aspects of communication.

My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including early intervention, private practice, and university clinics. I hold my ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) and an Illinois Early Intervention Credential. I am trained in the SOS Feeding Approach and have experience supporting a wide range of communication and feeding needs. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a Phonetics and Phonology and Language Development professor, which has deepened my knowledge and strengthened my evidence-based approach to therapy.

My clinical approach is highly individualized, holistic, and client-centered, with an emphasis on sensory integration strategies to support regulation and engagement. I incorporate routines-based practices to promote meaningful carryover and prioritize family involvement, strengths-based care, and functional outcomes. My goal is to help each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.
