About Us


We (Alaina Kelley and Hannah Julien) are Speech & Language Pathologists. We started collaborating informally while we were in graduate school at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Our credentials in Speech & Language Pathology are augmented by our liberal arts backgrounds in Linguistics (Alaina) and Spanish (Hannah). Our more formal collaborative efforts include developing a class for parents and educators about AAC, language development, and teaching methods for communication skills. But, we also like talking about books, science projects, co-ops, and the weather in Minnesota.

 Alaina currently practices in a small, private clinic in the Twin Cities metro area. Hannah is a PhD student in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.


As professionals we are committed to culturally responsive, evidence-based intervention. Engaging in discourse about what we do allows us to do it better, so feel free to contact us!
