Colleen Fahey

My name is Colleen Fahey. I am a speech language pathologist (SLP) at Jahn Elementary. I have been a SLP with CPS since 2010.  I have also worked in private clinics and home based settings but have always worked with children. I graduated from University of Illinois with my BA in Speech and Hearing Science. I continued at U of I and earned my Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology. Go Illini! As a school SLP, I assess and treat communication disorders that negatively impact a student's ability to learn and communicate effectively in the school setting. I have experience working with students with articulation/phonology, apraxia, AAC, language, fluency, and social communication needs. In my spare time I enjoy running, yoga, and fitness. I love to walk around the city and especially on the lakefront path. I like to read, cook, and try new restaurants. I also love to travel! I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and moved to the city of Chicago right after graduate school, so Chicago is home =)
