About Maggie
Hi there!
Hi there! I'm Maggie Phillips M.A., CCC-SLP. I'm a pediatric speech language pathologist who's passionate about the intersection of language, literacy, and speech sound disorders. I want to help your child communicate easily and learn to love reading! As your child's SLP, I'll use a team approach, working not only with your child, but also with you, their teachers, and any other professionals they work with, to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Background
I completed my degrees at the University of Connecticut before moving to Austin, TX in 2016. I worked in pediatric clinics, volunteered in schools, and founded Into Words Therapy in 2020 to give families the highest quality care possible. My family moved to Wake Forest, NC in 2023.
I've collaborated with organizations like NCSHLA and DLD and Me, and I'm a founding member of US RADLD.
Specialization
Given the wide scope of speech language pathology, I narrowed my focus to the areas of language, literacy, and speech sounds in order to provide the most effective services for your child.
In 2022 I completed the post-masters Certificate of Advanced Study in Literacy and Language at Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. This program provided a comprehensive education on the science of reading and structured literacy instruction using principles from multiple approaches including Orton Gillingham.
By narrowing my clinical focus to language, literacy, and speech sounds, I can spend more time learning deeply about these areas. That translates to better treatment for your child!
