There is a lot that goes into feeding therapy. It’s much more than just, “learning to eat.” Our feeding therapists work closely with children and their families to determine the underlying reason it is difficult for the child to consume a nutritionally age appropriate diet.

Speech therapy sessions for children under the age of 5-years-old are primarily child-led. This means the speech-language pathologist (SLP) follows the child’s actions and interests. Oftentimes, these therapy sessions will look just like play!

In speech therapy, the main goal will always be to find the most efficient and effective way to communicate. That may be through verbal communication, but it may also be through hand signs, pictures, or an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device.
