We are happy to share another speech therapy company in the area, Flourish Speech Therapy FW! Chelsea, Lauren, and Meredith all worked together back in their First Steps days. If you know of anyone whose child will need summer speech therapy in the Fort Wayne area send Meredith a message!

Hello! I’m Meredith and I am a speech-language pathologist. I graduated from Ball State University with my masters in Speech-Language Pathology in 2016. I have worked for First Steps and currently also work for a local school district. I started Flourish Speech Therapy to serve those children who would benefit from continued speech therapy over the summer when they are on a break from receiving speech therapy at school.
Consistency and practice are key to learning speech and language skills!

Summer scheduling coming soon. Message me on Facebook or email me at [email protected] for more information and to join my waitlist!
