Speech & Language Therapy
Providing a personalized concierge service for your child in the comfort of their home and natural environment
Fatima Hassan MS. CCC-SLP
Welcome! I am the alchemist behind Terra Speech and Language Therapy. I am a board-certified and ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) licensed in the state of Florida. Since graduating with my masters degree, I have worked full time in the public schools for 16 years and have served as a Clinical Fellow (CF) Mentor to many remarkable SLP’s. I have clinical experience working with children of all ages and various communication disorders, specifically the autism spectrum. My area of focus is addressing any communication impairment with a root-cause approach and assisting from a “whole-child” lens. I am a heart-centered, relationship-focused clinician and take a holistic approach in developing individualized therapy plans to meet the needs of each client. I consider all areas of a client's life that may impact their ability to communicate effectively. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness techniques, homeopathy, and lymphatic support and herbalism into my practice in order to help clients and their caregivers build awareness and cultivate feelings of success toward their health and communication. Building a trusting relationship with my clients and their caregivers is paramount for overall progress.
Testimonials
“Fatima has been working with my 7 year old son for a little over a year, and the improvements I have seen in this time are so much more than any other type of therapy or school setting. She has helped my son in every aspect of his life. He is pronouncing his words better, he has learned how to read and write, even techniques he will use in his daily life such as breath work when he is overwhelmed or needs a break. Fatima has a very nurturing approach that makes my son trust and love her. He looks forward to his sessions. She is a wonderful therapist and has been a true blessing to my family. She is an angel among us.”
— Father of a child diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (age 7)
“Our Daniel was identified as being on the spectrum from a very early age. We set off on what would turn out to be the most challenging journey of all our lives. Initially laden with tremendous setbacks and many pitfalls, we just kept marching. Meeting Fatima at the peak of our despair was undoubtedly a definitive turning point for the best of this saga. Her ability and techniques to enable Daniel to communicate at the age of 3 were vital for his progress. Those were complimented by her heartful, professional and relentless commitment that ultimately would turn the tide in our favor. We will always be grateful to Fatima for her critical role in bringing Daniel into the folds of high performing social and academic achievements. Daniel is a “shadowless” straight A student with a bunch of friends and is an avid tennis player. Fatima will always be part of our family.

“I was at a loss as to how to help my son with his behaviors and language delay until I met Fatima. She has helped me learn how to read ingredients and decrease our in-home environmental toxin exposure to better assist with my son’s sleep patterns, and overall optimal health. His language has flourished in just a few months and I have seen such a positive change”
