About MaggieBee Speech Therapy

About Us

Helping to create more confident communicators!

Maggie graduated from the University of Colorado – Boulder with her Masters Degree in Speech Language Pathology, holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence with the American Speech-Language Hearing Association(ASHA), and is licensed by the Virginia Board of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. Having a younger brother who participated in speech therapy as a toddler, Maggie learned early on the importance and life changing impact speech and language therapy can have on an individual.

Maggie began her career at the Rocky Mountain Autism Center in Lone Tree, Colorado under the guidance of Dr. Patrick Rydell. It is there that she developed a passion for working with individuals (ages 2-23) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a focus on implementation of the SCERTS Model (Prizant, Wetherby, Rubin, Laurent & Rydell, 2006). Maggie transitioned to Children’s Hospital Colorado where she focused on Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC), with an emphasis on a multi-modal communication (total communication) approach to develop individualized, functional communication with each of her clients. Maggie was blessed with the opportunity to co-run multiple social skills groups for children ranging in age from 4-6. Following a move due to a relocation of her husband’s job, she has since transitioned to the outpatient setting.

Maggie has experience working with children with a variety of diagnosis including but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, developmental delay, phonological and articulation disorders, and receptive and expressive language disorders.

Why we do what we do

Our Values

Therapy is tailored to the individual child, with activities ranging from play-based activities to tabletop work in order to meet each child’s needs. Furthermore, our services are provided in the home, allowing skills to be targeted in your child’s natural environment.

Individualized, quality care

We purposefully ensure clinician's caseloads are scaled with quality of care in mind. This ensures clinicians have the time and resources to effectively develop and execute quality, individualized plans of care for your child. This allows time for our clinicians to sharpen their skills through continuing education and advanced trainings in order to provide the highest level of evidence-based care.

Consistency is key

We believe consistency in care is one of the most important elements to success in therapy. Each session, your child will be seen by the same therapist to ensure consistency and carry-over from one session to the next.

Parent involvement

Parents are always welcome and encouraged to take part in their child's therapy. One of the many elements to success in therapy is empowering families to feel confident and comfortable in completing their individualized Home Programming to support mastery and generalization of therapy targets.

Collaboration

Many of our clients are seen by a team of professionals, ranging from their pediatrician, to additional therapy disciplines, to school staff. We are happy to collaborate with those professionals involved in a child's care in order to support the highest level of understanding, integration, and generalization of skills where possible.

Team Effort

The importance of the therapist-child-caregiver relationship cannot be understated... This is a team effort! You are the expert on your child and as such, are an invaluable part of therapy! Additionally, the rapport built between a child and their therapist is a key element to a child's success. Our goal at MaggieBee's is to provide a supportive and encouraging environment where children know they have the support to succeed at novel or challenging tasks!

Flexibility in Treatment

In alignment with our value of providing the highest level of care, we believe one-size does not fit all... Our clinician's will determine the best frequency and length of sessions for your child based on his/her specific needs.
