Meghan Tharaldson, M.S., CCC-SLP/L

Speech Language Pathologist

Working with children has always been a passion of mine, so it makes sense that I have found my niche working with the younger population. I have experience working with children from age 2 to 19. I have spent time in a private practice, charter schools of Chicago, a middle school, and most recently a preschool. I have dedicated my training to working with these students to best serve their specific needs. I love to incorporate hands on activities, as well as movement activities throughout my sessions and thrive off of the child’s energy and excitement.
