Helping Your Child Grow through Communication & Connection

Whether your child isn't talking yet, you are concerned about their speech development, or they already receive speech therapy services, your journey to stronger connection and better communication with your child starts here, with Magro Speech Therapy.

Here, we believe in:

empowering parents to understand and nurture your child's speech and language development. 

neurodiversity-affirming and evidence-based practices.

children learn best through play and genuine connection.

We turn tricky sounds into clear, confident words so your child goes from “huh?” to “heard!”

Helping your child find their own way to communicate—through connection, play, and what lights them up.

From “not yet” to “now I’m talking!” We help grow your child’s speech and language through play.

Giving your child a voice that works for them. So they can connect, express, and be understood.

Meet Your SLP!

Marissa Magro, M.S.Ed, CCC-SLP

  • I’m a licensed, certified pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) with six+ years of experience helping children communicate. My clinical specialties include AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), speech sound disorders, and neurodiversity-affirming practices for supporting autistic children. I believe therapy should be play-based, research-driven, and individualized to meet your child and family’s needs/goals!

    My favorite thing about being an SLP: watching a child learn to connect with the world around them through communication that is meaningful and works for them. Whether that’s spoken words, signs, gestures, or AAC, I’m in it for the long haul and committed to finding the tools and strategies that help your child thrive.

  • Magro Speech Therapy was created to fill a gap in our community. A gap where children weren’t receiving the services they needed and deserved. But I knew I was meant to do more than just fill a gap. I wanted to create something different: a practice that empowers parents, embraces neurodiversity, and delivers therapy that is both evidence-based and deeply meaningful.

    MST has grown into the greater Olean area’s only private pediatric speech therapy clinic. We’re proud to keep expanding, not only through therapy services but also through community events, advocacy work, and creating resources that support families beyond the therapy room.

  • I’m a mom of two energetic boys, a wife, a daughter, and a lover of strong coffee and community. At the very core of Magro Speech Therapy is a simple value: to provide the same quality of services we would want for our own children.

    Like you, I’m in the trenches… juggling school pick-ups, appointments, meltdowns, milestones, and that never-ending to-do list. This perspective shapes how I approach families: with empathy, flexibility, and real-life understanding.

    Together, we become a team. Working to build confidence, connection, and communication through play and practical strategies that fit into your everyday life.

    Whether your child is finding their “voice” or navigating communication challenges, you don’t have to face it alone. With Magro Speech Therapy, you have a trusted partner committed to helping your child thrive.

  • I am so happy to have Marissa in my daughter's corner.

    I am beyond impressed with Marissa…. she could aid my daughter as an individual for her environment and needs and not as a one fits all child from the textbooks. Communication with me is always open. I am informed of each session, and what I should be doing to support her great progress, and I know any questions I have will be met with attention. I am so happy to have Marissa in my daughter's corner.

  • Don’t question the decision to go with her. Take the leap and trust her process.

    She has changed our family for the better. I have never seen someone love their job more… We have seen her three days a week for a long time, and she always greeted my son as if he was the only around. She changed him, loved him, and helped him find his voice. Marissa is our forever angel. Don’t question the decision to go with her. Take the leap and trust her process.

  • You can't go wrong with Marissa!

    Marissa is AMAZING! She has a natural and genuine warmth to her that the kids gravitate to. Even my younger boy was excited to go to the older one’s appointments just to see her 😁. You can’t go wrong with Marissa!

  • She’s easily one of the most passionate and driven speech therapists

    She’s easily one of the most passionate and driven speech therapists I’ve been lucky enough to be around. Her clients and their families absolutely adored her, and they made HUGE gains while working with her! It’s not as easy as you might think to find a truly great SLP, but I can tell you that Marissa is one of the best!
