Meet Annie

Hello! My name is Annie DiVello and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist specialized in the area of selective mutism.

I graduated from West Virginia University with a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology in 2007. Hungry to learn more about behavior, personality, the mind, and mental health, I went on to complete my M.Ed. with a focus on school psychology at Rivier University in 2022.

I have lived and worked with individuals all across the country including New England, West Virginia, Atlanta, and South Central Los Angeles. Though I have worked with many populations, my particular area of clinical passion is selective mutism.

I am licensed in ME, MA, and NH and enjoy working closely with school teams in those states to create a collaborative “round table” model of support for students with selective mutism. Some of the school-based supports that I provide include school-based evaluations, 504/IEP goal writing & implementation, and consultative support. I love helping teams bring their students’ brave voices to school and feel that the ability to communicate is a beautiful gift and the foundation of human connection.

In addition to offering school-based supports, I also provide a variety of ASHA CEU trainings on the topic of selective mutism for school teams around the world. I serve as the Selective Mutism Association (SMA) State Coordinator for NH, MA, and ME.

I am honored to have my long-time counterpart, Sarah Josef, team up with me to provide school-based evaluations.

I live with my husband, Gary, our daughter, Elizabeth, and our rescue pups, Abby and Chloe, in North Yarmouth Maine. In my free time, I enjoy reading books on mindfulness and self-compassion, practicing yoga, hiking, and spending time with my family.
