🎉🎉 Introducing Megan Roberts, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL 🎉🎉
Dr. Megan Roberts, PhD, CCC-SLP, is the principal investigator of the Early Intervention Research Group. Meg is a Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is a licensed speech-language pathologist with over 10 years of experience working with young children and their families. Meg received her initial clinical training in speech-language pathology from Emerson College (MS, 2005), after which she practiced as a speech-language pathologist at an inclusive preschool and as an early intervention provider for children with developmental delays. This front-line experience with families of children with developmental delays exposed gaps in the current knowledge and motivated her to pursue a doctoral degree at Vanderbilt University (PhD, 2011). Meg believes that every child has an important message to share with the world and that language is best learned during positive interactions between caregivers and children. Her naturalistic approach along with her other job as a mother of two young children has informed her clinical practice and research, both of which focus on parent-mediated interventions for children with hearing loss, children with autism, and children with language delays.
