About Isabella Maguire, MS, CCC-SLP
Isabella is a compassionate speech-language pathologist (SLP) who implements a family-centered and multidisciplinary approach. She helps families facilitate play-based, neurodiversity affirming, and routines-based interventions to maximize their child's interests and generalization of skills. She coaches families with practical strategies to help caregivers connect with their child and support their speech-language development. She specializes in speech delays, expressive-receptive language disorders, social communication, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) (and other speech sound disorders), gestalt language development (GLP), feeding, and oral motor skills. Her experiences in school, clinic, and early intervention (birth-3) settings with Occupational Therapist, floor time clinicians, family educators, and nutritionists guide her multidisciplinary approach to speech therapy. She has participated in a variety of trainings related to the topics of infant mental health, childhood apraxia of speech, sensory regulation, and gestalt language development. She is trained in Dynamic Temporal Tactile Cueing (DTTC), an evidence-based motor speech treatment approach for CAS. Isabella is certified on the Apraxia Kids SLP registry as an expert in the field. Isabella is now accepting patients with CAS, suspected CAS, articulation disorder, or a speech delay ages 15 months-7 years old.
