Maribel Serrano Holder, M.S., M.A., CCC-SLP

Founder & Speech-Language Pathologist

Maribel is a bilingual Spanish-English speech-language pathologist, educator, and advocate whose work centers on communication, connection, and belonging. As a Mexican immigrant and neurodivergent clinician, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work with children, families, and communities.

She founded Logopedia to create the kind of practice she wished existed for many of the families she now serves: one where language, culture, disability, identity, and communication are understood as interconnected parts of the human experience rather than barriers to overcome. Her work is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-based, and culturally responsive care.

Maribel's clinical interests include augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), autism, early childhood development, feeding, Gestalt Language Processing, and supporting individuals with complex communication needs. She is particularly passionate about helping families discover communication systems that feel authentic, accessible, and empowering.

She holds degrees in Psychology, Speech-Language Pathology, and Infant and Early Childhood Development and is currently pursuing a doctorate at Fielding Graduate University. Maribel is a certified Hanen® Instructor, DIRFloortime® Expert Training Leader, and faculty member with Comunidades Inclusivas, an interdisciplinary neuroaffirming collective supporting Spanish-speaking professionals and communities across the globe.
