Hillary Crow, MA, CCC-SLP is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, educator, author, and the founder of Crow Speech Therapy in Mission Viejo, California. With more than a decade of experience supporting children, adults, and families, Hillary is deeply committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-based speech therapy that centers connection, curiosity, communication, and joy.

Hillary’s therapy style is warm, playful, and grounded in respect for each individual’s unique strengths, needs, and ways of communicating. She believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels safe, collaborative, and rooted in trust, and she considers it a profound privilege to support children and families as they grow in confidence and connection.

After earning her master’s degree in Communicative Disorders from California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), Hillary worked in public schools, private practices, and interdisciplinary clinics throughout Southern California. She also served as a part-time lecturer and graduate clinical supervisor at CSULB.

Her clinical expertise is providing neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy for autism, gestalt language processing (GLP), speech sound disabilities, developmental language differences, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), stuttering and speech fluency differences, early intervention services, literacy development, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), executive functioning, and multimodal communication support.

As a multiply neurodivergent clinician herself, Hillary brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. She is a passionate advocate for neurodiversity-affirming practices and frequently collaborates with other neurodivergent professionals to publish, present, and speak at the local, state, and national levels. Hillary currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Infant Development Association of California (IDA) and contributed as a subject matter expert to ASHA’s Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder Practice Portal.

Outside of work, Hillary enjoys reading, singing, dancing, playing with her daughter, playing board games with her husband, and cuddling her extra fluffy ginger cat, Tiger Lily. A lifelong learner and proud word nerd, she’s known for looking up etymologies just for fun and dreaming of one day wandering the hills of Scotland.
