Alison Leclaire, M.S.Ed, CCC-SLP

Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist

I am a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in early intervention for the last 17 years. I am passionate about providing play-based therapy and making my time with toddlers and their families joyful, fun and relationship-based! I am fully committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming therapy and looking at the child as a unique, whole human with his or her own interests and passions, and utilizing those as a springboard for communication. While I am well-versed in all areas of development, I specialize in building families’ capacities to prioritize and encourage total communication from their toddlers.
