Shannon Leary

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.A., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 20 insurance plans

Hi! I'm Shannon. I became a speech-language pathologist after witnessing my uncle struggle to communicate following a traumatic brain injury that he sustained as a child. Seeing how hard he worked to communicate made me realize how vital communication is to our independence, identity, and relationships. That experience inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others regain their voice and connect with the world around them. I worked in settings such as outpatient and schools. I am trained in orofacial myofunctional therapy, VitalStim, and am Hanen trained. I would describe my clinical style as holistic, client-centered, and functional.

Our therapist Shannon Leary is amazing !!!!!  She has an excellent rapport with our son and actually makes learning fun.  I can't emphasize enough how helpful she has been.  We definitely see the progress.
