Hello parents, guardians, and students!
My name is Alexis Dettmer and I am the full-time speech-language pathologist at Hadley. I am very much looking forward to helping Hadley students reach their speech, language, fluency, social skills, and voice goals.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I attended the University of Illinois for both my undergraduate and graduate studies, graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences in 2010 and my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2012. I am certified by the Illinois State Board of Education, licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and I hold the American Speech Language Hearing Association Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology.
I moved to the area and joined District #41 in 2014. In my spare time, I enjoy wrestling with my cats (Flynn and Quorra), walking my dog (Stella), and gardening. I have a 1600 square foot garden in my back yard and I grow over 500 lbs of food each summer! In addition to my work in the public school system, I have also worked in skilled nursing facilities. Some of my special interests in the broad field of speech pathology include cognitive rehabilitation following stroke and traumatic brain injury, the long-term effects of mild traumatic brain injury, Social Communication Disorder, and functional dysphagia therapy to improve quality of life in the geriatric population.
I hope that over the course of this year I will get to know you, your children, and your families and that you will get to know me as well. Please never hesitate to call, e-mail, or stop by to see me whenever you want. My door is always open to you.
I am looking forward to an amazing year in speech and I can’t wait to meet you!

A favorite quote from a good friend of mine, Dr. Betsy Basch:
"She is sincerely serious about the way we use language to communicate, and feels as though many of our societal impasses could be joined if we just learned to listen to what we were actually saying."
