I was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island in an Italian-American home. I had a love of languages from early on. This led me to obtain undergraduate degrees from Binghamton University in Linguistics and Psychology, also loving the people aspect of communication. Having the good fortune of guidance while at BU, interest surveys led me down the career path of Speech/Language Pathologist. I then pursued my Master’s degree at Penn State University and graduated with a Master of Science in Communication Disorders in 1982.
Studying first in upstate NY and then in PA, gave me a taste of life away from L.I. and I decided to return to Binghamton after graduation, landing a dream job with New York State. My interest was working with children and worked for Broome Developmental Services for over 33 years, first at the institution with severely and profoundly mentally challenged individuals for 7 years, and then at the High Risk Births Clinic. At the HRBC, I worked with children birth to 3 before early intervention came into existence in the early 90’s. I seized the opportunity to work in private practice in addition to working for the state during the inception of Early Intervention. I retired from my full time with NYS in 2015 and to date continue my private practice part time in Broome County with the last four years under the auspices of Therapy SPOT, a very exciting opportunity provided to me by my sister, the owner, director and outstanding Physical Therapist, Phyllis Lepre-Reischmann.
Phyllis recently asked me to join the business as the lead for the Speech Department.
Megan is a graduate from Stony Brook University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2019. She completed her Bachelors of Science Degree in Kinesiology from SUNY Cortland in 2011.

Megan is excited to continue learning and gain experience through continuing education courses, co-workers and interdisciplinary team at The Therapy Spot, and her patients.
