Anne Zinn, MS, CCC-SLP, CLS

Hel­lo! My name is Anne Zinn. I am a speech lan­guage pathol­o­gist and spe­cial­ize in feed­ing dis­or­ders. I have my cer­tifi­cate of clin­i­cal com­pe­tence from ASHA, am a Cer­ti­fied Lac­ta­tion spe­cial­ist, and am a trained TOTs provider (teth­ered oral tis­sue). I spe­cial­ize in feed­ing dis­or­ders, anky­loglos­sia (tongue tie/​lip tie), breast­feed­ing, used to co teach the breast­feed­ing class­es, and am a part of the pedi­atric feed­ing ther­a­py and swal­low study team. I am a grad­u­ate of the Lead­er­ship Acad­e­my (2019) and was an Ambas­sador at QMG.

Ulti­mate­ly what led me to my inter­est in becom­ing a speech lan­guage pathol­o­gist was my desire to make a change in the med­ical field. My inter­est in speech lan­guage pathol­o­gy came from a very young age. I have always been inter­est­ed in the med­ical field, but I wasn’t sure which career path to take. I observed the ben­e­fits of ther­a­py and how reward­ing ther­a­py can be. I feel as a speech ther­a­pist I can pro­vide just as reward­ing ther­a­py by assist­ing in giv­ing each child a voice and elic­it­ing their feed­ing skills to safe­ly swal­low foods! Speech ther­a­py is a diverse field full of a vari­ety of oppor­tu­ni­ties to help oth­ers grow, engage in clin­i­cal experiences/​research, and even impacts social change as well as assists each child in set­ting them up for suc­cess in the future!
