“Hannah strives to foster understanding of some of the most misunderstood and perplexing challenges faced by underserved youth populations."Nancy DunhamAuthor
“I find myself greedily devouring everything Hannah writes. Her words are a lifeline to anyone who has navigated the challenge and isolation of accessibility, for themselves or their children. Hannah’s fierce yet compassionate authenticity is a ray of light.”Ilana GoldbergParent
"Hannah is a tireless and fearless advocate for all of our children. She is a gifted writer with a knack for capturing the irony in moments of stress, laughter in moments of sadness, and strength in moments of (what feels like) failure.”Rachael Schoenbaum JaffeParent
