Margaret Kenyon – Pediatric Speech Therapist in New London, CT
Helping Kids Thrive with Speech Therapy
Hi, I’m Margaret Kenyon
I’m a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist with extensive experience working with preschool-aged children. I specialize in speech sound disorders, motor speech, fluency, AAC, and language development.
Why I love what I do:
I love building meaningful connections with each child and creating individualized therapy sessions that reflect their unique needs, interests, and goals.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I love working closely with families, building strong relationships, and helping them feel confident supporting their child’s growth and development.
What does a Speech Therapist Do?
Speech-language pathologists (also known as speech therapists or SLPs) help kids communicate—whether they’re late to talk, hard to understand, or struggling to express themselves. They also support kids with feeding, swallowing, and social interaction. SLPs focus on:
• Speech sounds – helping kids say words clearly so others can understand them
• Language development – building vocabulary, following directions, and expressing ideas
• Social skills – learning how to have conversations, ask questions, advocate for their needs, and take turns
• Stuttering – supporting smoother, more confident speech
• Feeding and swallowing – helping with picky eating, chewing, swallowing challenges, and texture sensitivities.
Speech therapy gives kids the tools to express themselves and connect with the people around them—at home, in school, and in the world.
