Dick Maitland is a sound effects/foley artist who has worked on Sesame Street and its various spin-off specials since 1969. When Maria first gave birth to Gabi on Sesame Street, Maitland's newborn son was used for the initial episode.[1] Maitland has won eleven Emmy Awards for his work.

Along with Barbara Wood, he also provided the sound design for The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Maitland, who provides many of his effects manually, also supplied sound effects for such series as The Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, and Maya and Miguel.
