Mary Ratliff,Speech Language Pathologist

Education: Northwestern University, BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders; University of Illinois, MA in Speech Pathology

Advanced trainings and Areas of Interest:Swallowing and Feeding, Vital Stim, Pediatric Brain Injury, Early Language Development, Parent Education

Prior Experience: I worked for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) and CRS, an outpatient facility of Marianjoy. At RIC I worked in day rehabilitation, helping families of pediatric and adult patients return to their day to day life! This experience helped me to understand how important the whole family is in a child's therapy and communication development. 

Who I Am: I am originally from a small beach town in New Jersey, but have been living in Chicago since 2007. I am a Certified Yoga Instructor, and when I am not working you can probably find me in a yoga studio or running at the lakefront! I love to laugh and believe a great yoga or speech session involves laughter too!
