Who We Are

Speech-Language Pathologist, Consultant, Coach

Megan is a Speech-Language Pathologist who received both her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from The University of Virginia. She is a member of the American Speech- Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) and holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). Megan, a third generation educator, served as a Project Coordinator at the UVA Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences before returning to graduate school to pursue a degree in Communication Disorders.  She has experience working with children and adults with varying diagnoses and neurotypes,  including Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity, Dysphagia, Fluency, Articulation/ Phonology, Expressive/Receptive Language, Social Communication, Voice, and Accent Modification in private clinics, public and private schools, and acute care/rehabilitation hospitals.  

While at the University of Virginia, she had the pleasure of working under Dr. Amori Mikami in the Peer Relationships and ADHD Lab, which sparked her passion for working with this population.  In her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist, Megan was fortunate to spend eight years at the Keswick School, a special education therapeutic boarding school for boys ages 9-18 with a variety of complex social-emotional and learning needs.  Her time serving as the Director of Related Services in this intensive interdisciplinary environment solidified her career path in serving those with ADHD, Autism, and comorbid mental health disorders and their families.  She learned that supporting the client in a wrap around, collaborative model is crucial to lasting impact and change for the family unit as a whole.  

She is endorsed in Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (Vital Stim) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES), and has engaged in extensive post-graduate training in Social Communication and Executive Functioning, meeting the criteria for ADHD-Certified Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). She currently serves on the Board of Normalize Now, a NY based nonprofit that focuses on creating accessibility and equity to those with invisible disabilities. She developed and directs the Blue Ridge Social Club, and provides services to clients for social communication and executive skill development at Crozet Speech and Learning Center.  

Her client and family centered practice focuses on strengthening executive functions and social cognitive communication skills to enhance independence, promote better relationships, and improve quality of life across contexts. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors on her farm with her twin sons, husband, and animals.

She founded Social Cognitive Solutions to share her passion for development of social communication and executive skills,  provide a place for play and community, and to help implement functional strategies for clients with unique learning styles.
