Bio
Our clinician, Meghan O'Grady, is a NY State Licensed speech language pathologist and social cognitive therapist. She holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence awarded by The American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and is a former early childhood educator.
Meghan has experience with a range of expressive and receptive language delays and speech difficulties. She is
particularly passionate about social communication, narrative language, articulation and phonological processes.
At Speech Language and Play, we know play is one of the primary ways children build speech, language and social cognitive abilities. Play provides authentic, interest-based opportunities where appropriate intervention can take place.
Play can also be challenging for some children, perhaps due to a language delay or social communication challenge. In these cases, more guidance is needed to enable and support collaborative play. With this in mind, our practice uses play opportunities to help children reach their goals. We also offer services supporting play and social development.
We provide families with weekly updates on a child's progress, as well as guidance to support carryover at home. An ongoing partnership between our therapist and your family is extremely important to us.
