About Us
Marigold Pediatric Therapies is co-owned by Ellen Henning, MA, CCC-SLP/L and Jamela Robson, MA, CCC-SLP/L.
Ellen and Jamela met when they were working as speech pathologists in the Special Education Department of Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 in the Northwestern Suburbs of Chicago.
They both entered the field of speech-language pathology fueled by a heartfelt desire to help children communicate and fully participate in the world around them.
Ellen and Jamela launched Marigold Pediatric Therapies in 2019.
