💙 Calling ProActive Families 💙

We are asking for your help in sharing how Speech, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy through ProActive have impacted your child and your family’s journey. These services often mean more than milestones—they mean confidence, connection, and hope for what’s possible.

If your family has experienced growth, breakthrough moments, or meaningful change because of these services, your story matters more than you may realize. We are especially hoping to connect with families who may have legislative connections or who feel called to share their experiences to help protect access to care for Iowa’s children.

If you are willing to share or would like to learn more, please reach out to us directly. Your voice can help ensure that other families continue to receive the support their children need to thrive. 💛

Thank you for trusting ProActive with your child’s care and for being part of our community.

Help us welcome Meghan Wright to the ProActive Family! 💙🧡

Meghan Wright, M.A., CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist with a passion for supporting children and families across their communication journeys. She has received training in myofunctional disorders and treatment as well as gestalt language processing, which helps her tailor therapy to each child’s unique needs and strengths.

Meghan loves partnering with families to improve communication access in meaningful, functional ways, whether that looks like speech, language development, AAC, or alternative communication strategies. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, and she truly enjoys celebrating every success, big and small, as she works together with families toward each child’s goals.

“These changes would greatly reduce the quality-of-care children receive and would have devastating long-term effects on families like mine,’’ Jacobs said. “As a parent, I’m terrified of what will happen to other families if Iowa HHS moves forward with these drastic cuts. A shortened session, at roughly 15-minutes, is not enough time to build trust, to regulate, to teach, to model, to practice, or to meaningfully support a child with complex needs. The proposed decision will not save money in the long run; it will cost families, communities, and future generations the opportunity to reach their full potential.’’
