Meet Maggie Conlon
Maggie has a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Adelphi University in New York City, and an undergraduate degree in Cultural Studies from Eugene Lang College in New York City. She has worked as a Speech and Language Therapist for over 9 years.
After graduate school, she started her career in District 75 at the Department of Education (DOE) in New York City working exclusively with students with Autism. This provided her with an opportunity to work in close collaboration with classroom teachers, other allied therapists, support staff, and parents/care-givers to provide a comprehensive educational and therapeutic approach. During her time working for the DOE, she was selected to be a member of the Collaborative Action Research Project (CARP) investigating the role of video modeling to support pragmatic skills of students with Autism.
During her time in New York City, she also gained experience working in early intervention services by providing in-home therapy and parent training for children as young as 1 year old. Working in early intervention has become a particular area of interest for her.
After relocating to London in 2019, she worked for a private therapy practice providing assessments and therapy for children 2 to 11 years-old. This experience broadened her exposure to working with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children with various speech and language needs, and allowed her to further develop her interest and experience in working in early years development.
Holistic therapy is integral to Maggie’s approach. Providing therapy in a variety of settings, sharing detailed feedback and recommendations to both parents and teaching staff, developing meaningful engagement and enjoyment around social interaction and language, and implementing strategies in variety of settings with numerous communication partners, is key to making lasting gains in speech and language.
Maggie has her Certification of Clinical Competence from The American Speech-Hearing-Language Association (ASHA). She is a current member of both the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). In her spare time, Maggie enjoys reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time outdoors with her family. She appreciates the greenery of London and loves spending time exploring the city and all the UK has to offer!
