Speech-Language Pathologist, co-founder of Elemenoe, and proud mom of two wildly imaginative kiddos who keep life very interesting at all times.

Brittany has been an SLP for over a decade, and if there’s one thing she’s learned, it’s this: communication isn’t just about words—it’s about connection. She’s passionate about helping neurodivergent kids find their voice, in whatever form that takes, and supporting families as they learn to truly tune in to what their child is trying to say.

She loves diving into the messy, magical process of language development—especially when it comes to play-based therapy, motor speech, early communication, and finding those “aha!” moments that make it all worth it. Brittany believes therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real life (yes, even when your kid is under the table pretending to be a cat).

At Elemenoe, and now on Neurodiversally Speaking, she’s here to break down the research, share her real-life wins and struggles, and help parents and professionals feel like they’re not in this alone.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), co-founder of Elemenoe, and mom of two curious, hilarious kids who constantly keep her learning.

Shawna has spent over 10 years supporting neurodivergent individuals across home, school, and community settings—and she’s still just as passionate today as she was when she started. She cares deeply about therapy that’s practical, playful, and packed with purpose. Shawna is especially into early intervention, building school readiness, and helping kids develop the kind of emotional regulation and flexibility that sets them up for long-term success.

But here’s the thing: behavior doesn’t exist in a bubble. Shawna believes real change happens when we zoom out and look at the whole child—communication, environment, relationships and all. That’s why interdisciplinary collaboration isn’t just something she talks about—it’s the foundation of everything she and Brittany do at Elemenoe.

As a clinician and a parent, Shawna knows how overwhelming this journey can be. Her mission is to turn that overwhelm into clarity—to keep things practical and positive—and to help parents and professionals feel confident, connected, and empowered.
