What Families Are Saying
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kerri and Pam at SPOT Collective! Both are truly exceptional at what they do, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have them as part of our daughter’s journey.
Their kindness, compassion, patience, knowledge, and unwavering support continue to make such a meaningful difference in our daughter’s growth and progress. They play such a pivotal role in her development, and we are beyond grateful for the care, encouragement, and expertise they bring to every session.
What makes SPOT Collective even more special is the opportunity for dual OT and speech sessions. Kerri and Pam are individually the best of the best, but bringing their expertise together creates something truly extraordinary! Their collaborative approach provides an additional level of support that is absolutely phenomenal. The way they complement one another, build on each other’s strengths, and work together to support the whole child is something really special.
Beyond their professional expertise, what stands out most is how genuinely they care. They celebrate the little victories just as much as the big ones, recognize each child’s unique strengths and needs, and make families feel supported every step of the way.
We are endlessly grateful for the positive impact Kerri and Pam continue to have on her journey. They are truly two incredible professionals with the biggest hearts, and we cannot recommend them or SPOT Collective highly enough! ❤️

If you have found SPOT Collective, you are in the right place! Both Kerri and Pam have worked with my 3 children with varying needs which included speech, academic support and emotional wellness. My daughters thrived with both Kerri and Pam largely in part of their ability to connect with my girls, understand their unique needs and find exactly what they needed to increase their confidence. Please know if you are here, you are in the right place!

We had a wonderful experience working with Kerri at SPOT Collective Therapies! She began treating my son’s torticollis when he was 3 months old, bringing so much warmth, patience, and expertise to every visit. Beyond our in-person sessions, Kerri went above and beyond by being available for quick check-ins between appointments—I could send her photos of him doing his home exercises to confirm our form and get helpful feedback. That level of ongoing support gave us so much confidence as parents, and we saw incredible progress under her care. I highly recommend Kerri to anyone looking for exceptional pediatric therapy!

At SPOT Collective, we specialize in a unique co-treatment approach to support pediatric development through collaboration. Our neurodiversity-affirming philosophy focuses on the whole child, emphasizing meaningful partnership with families.
Experience the difference of our integrated speech and occupational therapy co-treatment model, where we support communication, regulation, executive functioning, sensory processing, and functional skills together in real time. Because children make the most meaningful progress when strategies carry over into everyday life, family guidance is built into our work. We intentionally equip caregivers with the tools, insights, and understanding needed to support their child’s growth beyond each session and throughout development.
About Us
We are Kerri LeBlanc, OTR/L and Pamela Bartolini, M.S., CCC-SLP, and together we bring over 40 years of combined experience supporting children and families across pediatric occupational therapy and speech-language pathology.
Our backgrounds span a wide range of settings, including children’s hospital care, inpatient and outpatient pediatrics, public schools, private day school programs, home- and community-based services, acute rehabilitation, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluations and training, sensory regulation, medically complex care, and developmental disabilities.
Kerri spent more than 20 years at Hasbro Children’s Hospital supporting children from birth through age 22 with complex medical and developmental needs, while Pam began her career with Easter Seals of Massachusetts and has extensive experience supporting individuals with complex communication needs across the lifespan. In addition to our direct clinical work, we have provided professional development, spoken at parent advisory events, mentored graduate students and clinicians, and pursued extensive continuing education. Both of us are trauma-informed clinicians and professionally certified as Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialists through Evergreen Certifications.
We are especially passionate about co-treatment, a collaborative approach which allows us to support each child’s unique path of development, harnessing our expertise across communication, regulation, sensory processing, social connection, executive functioning, and functional skills in an integrated and dynamic way. Our model is rooted in building strong relationships with children and families, celebrating every success, and helping each child discover their strengths and areas for growth.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief: therapy should be engaging, meaningful, and fun. Because when therapy is FUN, children are more engaged, more confident, and more successful!
The Power of a Collective Approach
Because meaningful progress happens beyond the session and in everyday moments, routines, and relationships.
How We Support Children & Families
Better Together: Integrated Care
Co-treatment of speech and occupational therapy drives our support of children and families at SPOT Collective. Your child works with both a speech therapist and an occupational therapist together, so we can build sensory, regulation, communication, motor, and executive functioning skills in one connected plan. Our small social and regulation groups offer a nurturing, affirming community where kids can practice these skills with peers, feel accepted as they are, and slowly stretch into new confidence. These services are designed to help your child make meaningful progress and to give your family tools you can use every day, so enrolling with us truly feels like having a team on your side.

Why Choose SPOT Collective
We believe that every child's journey is unique.
Our collective approach provides the educational tools and expert guidance families need to support their child's development with confidence and care.
Many therapy models address skills in isolation by separating speech, occupational therapy, and real-life application into different sessions and settings.
At SPOT Collective, our integrated model supports the whole child, allowing for more meaningful progress that carries over into everyday life.
