Meredith is a speech-language pathologist specializing in early language development in babies and toddlers. She received her master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from New York University and started her career in the NYC public schools. In 2018, she and her husband moved to Chicago where she found joy working in private practice. Meredith cherished developing close relationships with families and expanding the communication skills of neurodivergent toddlers in a therapeutic preschool.

As a mom of two, Meredith understands the importance of connection and play in child development. Through small-group classes and individual therapy, she empowers caregivers to strengthen their role in the process of learning language. Together, she and her families create a fun and supportive environment where a child’s communication skills can flourish!

  • "I can not recommend Meredith enough, it has been 4 years since she worked with my girl. We had a wonderful experience not only because she is great at what she does but she is also a wonderful human. I will always be thankful to have met her and for helping our family overcome my daughter's speech delay. I hope you as a parent get the opportunity to work with her as well, she is absolutely-look no more-trust me the best option for your little one!"

  • “The small group allowed us to get to know the other babies and moms really well. I loved that the babies could play with toys related to the signs we were learning that week, I liked singing and reading books along with signing. I feel like I gained new mom friends while learning some tools for communicating with my baby.”

    Ashley, Early Expressions parent

  • “Loved the interactive learning aspect of learning a new sign and then using it in practice with the play bin! Also liked having a handout to take home so we could practice, and songs that we could practice, as well.”

    Anna, Early Expressions parent

  • "We attended just one of Meredith's classes at Little Giggles Speech Therapy, yet the impact has been as if we'd attended ten. During class, Meredith made it easy for me as the caregiver to learn and recall tools to help my daughter's speech continue to grow. And my daughter enjoyed what felt like play, with the added bonus of learning new songs and skills. We came away singing so much more at home, and confidently adjusting our communication in small ways that have a big impact on my daughter's use of language. We're eager to return to class and would recommend it without hesitation!"

    Natalia, Early Expressions parent

  • "Had SO much fun today! I'm still so impressed with my daughter staying engaged through a class!! Major kudos to you for one interactive class."

    Kellian, Early Expressions parent

  • "It is hard to single out just a few things that we liked! Meredith is an absolute gem - full of warmth and positivity, while also providing much needed structure for our little ones."

    Emily, Early Expressions parent

  • "I attended Baby Sign with my 7 month old. Meredith’s approach to teaching is warm and inviting! My daughter was engaged throughout the class and Meredith offered practical tips and ways to practice signs throughout the week. Highly recommend this class!"

    Anna, Early Expressions parent

  • What an amazing class and teacher! Meredith makes signing easy to learn, interactive, and fun for both my 10-month-old son and me. We sang songs, played, learned all about colors and animals, blew some bubbles, and read a book, all with signing interwoven. The kids got many opportunities to make choices and engage each other at an appropriate pace and inclusive, fun setting. Thank you Meredith! Little Giggles rocks!
