Megan Baumley, M.S., CCC-SLP
Director of Clinical Education, Instructor
Department of Speech-Language Pathology
My clinical experience has focused largely on the pediatric population and the diagnosis and treatment of toddlers, children, and adolescents in the areas of language, cognition, fluency, articulation and phonology, social pragmatics, and AAC. I have previous experience working in specialized schools and private practice settings where I had the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of professionals, hold leadership roles and support colleagues, collaborate with caregivers, and create and implement programming initiatives to support student and patient needs. I also served as a supervisor to graduate clinicians throughout my time in clinical practice. I have a particular interest in the influence of executive functions and the role they play in the acquisition and development of language as well as whether or not incorporating these principles in intervention leads to better patient outcomes.
I joined the department in 2019 as an adjunct and engaged with students to enhance their learning, collaborated with full time faculty and other adjunct faculty members, and supported various programming initiatives within the department. In 2023, I joined the department full-time as the Director of Clinical Education. In this role, I work to support students in their academic and clinic settings, create, support, and implement new programming initiatives to improve student learning, and teach courses on child language and development as well as seminar courses to improve the integration of knowledge and clinical skills in students' graduate training.
It is an honor to be a part of the department and to be able to have an impact on the future of the field of speech-language pathology. I believe that having empathy and working with students as a team not only leads to better outcomes for our students, but also models the same care to be taken when working with patients in the field to prioritize patient care.
