LLA Spotlight: Hannah Lee

June 30, 2021
Our Team

We have amazing therapists at LLA and want to showcase them to you! This week, meet Hannah Lee!

Hannah is a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in the Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) department who has been with LLA for 1 and a half years! She serves clients at the Fairlawn clinic. She became a therapist because she always knew she wanted to help others in some capacity. When she graduated college, she found the amazing opportunity to work with kiddos in ABA! Her favorite part about being a therapist is being part of the growth the kiddos make and being able to celebrate each success. There is nothing better than celebrating an achievement with a kiddo and watching them light up with excitement and pride!

Share a success story!

One of my favorite success stories is about a client I started working with about a year ago. When we first met, they would only give 1 or 2-word answers and didn’t want to be around anyone else but their Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). After several months of working together, they started to go up to other kiddos and ask them to play firefighters or hide and seek. Now I’m always amazed whenever I pass by and they stop me to ask me what I’m doing or where I’m going and tell me about their day. Having the privilege of witnessing successes like these everyday is what drives my passion for therapy.

Let’s get to know Hannah better!

Describe your role at LLA:

I work one-on-one with the kiddos to teach them life skills to promote independence and help set them up for success.

What is your best advice for parents who are embarking on a journey with therapy with their kiddo?

Don’t forget to celebrate the little things! These kiddos are making strides every day so it’s good to take a moment to look at how far they’ve come and celebrate their achievements. Plus some of the kiddos just love having dance parties!

Great place, glad we found them. Been going to Medina over 2 months now and he loves Lauryn and Kyler. Wish they had more ABA therapy places available... live in Wooster and long drive everyday.

My 11 year old son has dyslexia and has made noticeable gains in working At LLA THERAPY. Katie is strong in her approach toward him and also keeps him comfortable enough to perform well. We will continue visiting both the Fairlawn and Hudson offices and recommend them highly.

Ron Monroe

My 9 year old just completed about 9 months of weekly speech sessions (due to his stuttering) with Matt Hagge at LLA and we are thrilled with the experience and results. What I thought might be a negative (what kid really wants to go to speech class?) was made very positive by Matt, and my son never hesitated or complained when we talked about class. He really enjoyed it and really took what Matt taught him to heart. His speech has been greatly improved and we definitely recommend LLA. Thank you so much!

My son’s Occupational Therapist, Jess, is an amazing OT! She gives practical tips on working with my son at home and school!

Terri Apgar

I cannot say enough good things about LLA Therapy. My daughter was a client of Teal Simmons’ for approximately 2 years and was just released from speech therapy! She was diagnosed with Apraxia in 2015 and worked with Teal twice a week. Through Teal’s application of PROMPT therapy, my daughter had age-appropriate speech after one year. All of the staff we interacted with at LLA were absolutely wonderful. They really care about what they do and making sure your child achieves their goals.

Kelli Geisler Davisson

LLA Therapy has been an excellent experience for my son as well as my family! My son always asks, "When can I go see Ms. Jeannine again, is it Monday??" He has also made huge gains in only 5 months! I would highly recommend LLA and have already shared my experience with friends looking for services!

Victoria Hansford-Price

We are so grateful for our Speech Therapist Ms.Teal. We have seen a great improvement with our sons confidence and communication abilities since we have started "Prompt" therapy. What we love the most about LLA and Ms. Teal is that Kohl feels comfortable and relaxed which has played a critical role in his progress. Thank you Ms. Teal for all you have done.

Laura Lee Hogsett

They have helped in numerous ways. Speech, OT and behavioral. I've had numerous compliments on my son's progress thanks in very large part to LLA. I would recommend LLA before I recommend our local children's hospitals, though they are good, they don't have the staff that LLA does.

Amy Furukawa

We had a great experience with Matt Hagge at LLA! Our Middle School age son was becoming very conscious of his voice, which is nasal due to a cleft palate. Matt helped him to better form his sounds and project his voice in a way that makes the unavoidable nasality less noticeable.Our son is more confident and outgoing & even took on a speaking role in the church play. Matt has the perfect personality to relate with our son, and we would recommend him to anyone needing speech therapy services!

Jessica Havalotti

LLA Therapy has been an excellent experience for our daughter. I would highly recommend LLA. Miss Grace was so amazing and I can't believe how quickly our daughter showed improvement. Thank you!
