Melanie McGriff, Co-Owner

Melanie McGriff, M.Ed., CCC-SLP is co-owner at Creekside Autism Center and owner, executive director, and practicing speech therapist at Kid’s Creek Therapy. Kid’s Creek therapy has long had a reputation as an autism specialist, and Melanie personally assisted families who sought help beyond OT, PT, and speech for their children with autism. She co-founded Creekside Autism Center because it is what she wanted for many of these families – ABA services offered in collaboration with an occupational, physical, and speech therapy.

Melanie has worked with children in a variety of settings including the school system, home health, and private clinics. She previously served on the board of lead speech language pathologists (SLPs) in Atlanta for public schools. Melanie enjoys teaching and mentoring new therapists, and previously taught introductory courses in speech pathology at the University of West Georgia. Melanie and her husband Shane have been married since 1992 and have three children, Rayden, Mimi, and James.
