Meet the Original Radical
Hello!Hi, I'm Megan — a speech-language pathologist, recovering perfectionist, and the founder of Radical Language.
I spent 7 years as a pediatric SLP, which is a fancy way of saying I've debated plenty of toddlers on whether "ball" is a noun or a lifestyle. I've worked in schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and a few genuinely dramatic NICUs. I've celebrated first words, learned more than I expected in supply closets, and once accidentally taught a 4-year-old to say "dude" instead of "yes." (No regrets.)
Early in my career, I felt what a lot of school-based clinicians feel: heavy caseloads, thin support, and real burnout. That experience is exactly why I started Radical Language in 2022 to build the kind of staffing partner I wish I'd had when I was the one in the classroom.
What districts can expect from working with us:
Direct, straightforward communication — no runaround
Responsive support, not silence after the contract is signed
Vetted providers with real supervision structures in place
Coverage across school, medical, bilingual, and travel placements
My goal is simple: connect districts with SLPs who are genuinely supported because a therapist who feels valued shows up consistently and does better work for your students.
