Hello! My name is Madeleine Parker, and I am a speech-language pathologist at 40:31 Rehab & Wellness. My journey began in the heart of rural Oklahoma, where I learned early on that while access to care could be limited, the warmth and kindness of the community were abundant. That spirit of compassion is something I’ve found mirrored here in the clinic, making it a perfect fit for me.After graduating from Northeastern State University in 2021, I dove headfirst into my career with excitement and a sense of purpose. I’ve accumulated several certifications and specialties over the years, yet my true passion lies in supporting children and adults who face challenges with feeding and swallowing. It's incredibly rewarding to help individuals overcome these struggles and improve their quality of life.

Outside of work, I cherish the simple pleasures—curling up with a good book, enjoying the tranquility of country life, and spending time with my beloved dachshund. Family is incredibly important to me, and I believe that involving caregivers in the therapeutic process is essential. By prioritizing their participation, we can create a more holistic approach to care that benefits everyone involved.Every day brings new opportunities to connect with others, and I’m grateful to be part of a team that shares my love for people and the transformative power of play-based therapy.
