Meg McKay, M.S., CCC-SLP

Hi, I’m Megan McKay, a speech-language pathologist and the founder of Flying Cloud Speech Therapy. I’m passionate about early language development, AAC, gestalt language processing, social communication, and speech sound development - but honestly, what matters most to me is connection.

I believe communication is more than words. It’s closeness, play, movement, curiosity, shared joy, side glances, silly moments, and “you and me” energy. That means therapy with me doesn’t look like drills at a table - it looks like real-life engagement, on the floor, at the park, in the kitchen, or wherever your child communicates best.

Like many SLPs, I didn’t start out with all the answers when it came to AAC or supporting complex communicators. I learned by asking questions, listening deeply, learning from families, staying curious, and refusing to accept approaches that didn’t honor the child in front of me. Over time, I found frameworks that matched what children already show us: Communication grows when they feel safe, seen, and supported - not corrected or controlled.

My therapy style is:

  • Child-led and play-based

  • Movement-friendly and sensory-aware

  • Respectful of all forms of communication (spoken words, sounds, gestures, AAC, scripts, echolalia — all of it is communication)

  • Collaborative with caregivers and teams

You are the expert on your child. I’m here to add tools, perspective, partnership, and support. We’ll build goals that make sense for your family, and we’ll practice in ways that feel natural and doable in your daily routines.

I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’re seeking support that feels warm, collaborative, and rooted in who your child really is, we’ll be a good fit.

Who I အ.. behind the sces

I may live in Central Texas, but I’ll always be a Jersey girl at heart. I completed my masters program at La Salle University & received my undergrad degree from Stockton University. On the weekends you can find me chasing my son around the Cedar Park Library, kayaking through Lake Austin, or trying a new recipe.

Flying Cloud is a name that’s close to my heart. My fourth great-grandfather, Donald McKay, built the clipper ship by the same name in the 1850s, and his story has always been part of my family’s identity. I still get a little emotional when I stumble across models of his ships or artwork of the Flying Cloud in antique stores.. it makes me miss home, but it also grounds me.

For me, Flying Cloud represents legacy, connection, and building something meaningful with care—values I bring into every part of my practice.
