Meagan
Meagan is a compassionate and dedicated speech-language pathologist, proudly certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). With a heart full of passion for pediatric care, she brings over nine years of specialized experience to the field. Meagan earned her master's degree from Worcester State University in 2013 and has since flourished in various settings, from the dynamic environments of private and public schools to the focused care of outpatient rehabilitation centers.
Her expertise shines brightly when working with children facing developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, and complex communication needs. Meagan's approach is holistic and tailored, skillfully addressing receptive and expressive language, social skills, feeding disorders, fluency, literacy, and articulation/phonology. She's not just a clinician; she's a guide and advocate for the families she serves, helping each child find their voice and express themselves fully.
When she's not making a difference in the lives of her young clients, Meagan finds joy and balance running along the beach or sharing moments with her beloved puppy, Ella. Her professional dedication, coupled with her warm, engaging manner, makes Meagan not only an exceptional therapist but also a trusted companion on the journey of growth and discovery for the children and families she works with.
