My husband and I were both born and raised in Idaho raised our children in Idaho. As a mother, I always wanted my kids to have the best opportunities and tools they needed to become confident and successful in all they desire in life. As an SLP in the schools, I wanted to make a difference and provide everyone with the best tools and opportunities to reach their full potential also.
While working in schools, I saw so many kids struggle to make progress in speech, which led me to further research in speech sound disorders, the oral structure and motor patterns of speech. After working for school districts for years. I decided I want to make a bigger difference by providing a more focused, specialized therapy. I now treat speech disorders with a special interest and training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. I also saw the need for private therapy services in Caldwell and surrounding areas. I wanted to make sure that people in rural areas have the opportunity to find and use these services also.
I am dedicated to building trusting and collaborative relationships with kids, their families and other professionals and devoted to the big picture of well being.
I believe that empowering families with the tools needed for continued growth, outside of therapy sessions, advances progress.

Hi everyone, my name is Hannah Woody and I am a CF-SLP at Beyond Words Speech and Language Services. I received my B.S., in Communication Sciences and Disorder from California University of Pennsylvania in 2019. I then attended Idaho State University and received my M.S. in Speech-language Pathology in 2021. I love being able to assess and treat both children and adult clients.
In the summer of 2021, I completed an internship at St. Alphonsus Medical Center/STARS in Ontario, Oregon where I assessed and treated adults and children who had swallowing/feeding deficits, TBIs, expressive/receptive language disorders, and articulation disorders. Another passion of mine is orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) and helping both children and adults correct their tongues’ negative compensatory patterns! I am also certified in Speak OUT! and LOUD Crowd Training which focuses on strengthening an individual’s voice who has Parkinson’s Disease.
When I am not performing SLP duties, you can find me hiking a mountain, climbing a rock formation, or drinking a cup of coffee at a local cafe!
Cassandra Snow, Office Manager
As the Office Manager at Beyond Words, I have the privilege of meeting and getting to know all the delightful families that come through the clinic. It’s such a pleasure to see the warm-hearted Speech Pathologists make a difference; I swear I see it when kids walk through our doors.
I am also an Idaho native! When I am not working, I love to explore, whether it be downtown Caldwell or in the woods.
