Feeding & Speech Therapy for Children & Families
Yes, I write early speech books, provide parental advice on TikTok, and train professionals in child development! But I still have an active private practice and I really love working with families and children as they develop!
Please reach out for a free phone consultation if I can help you!
Feeding Evaluation and/or Therapy
-
Work with Stephanie via secure online platform or in person, depending on your needs, location, and availability.
-
Mealtime assessments include evaluation of oral-motor function, breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, and skills with drinking and table foods. We start by discussing your concerns, your child’s history, and your family’s mealtime dynamics. Following careful assessment of all aspects of your child’s oral-motor and feeding skills, as well as mealtime dynamics, we will work together to better understand how to make mealtimes easier for your family.
-
We will create a comprehensive plan in collaboration with your child’s medical team, based on your child’s needs and your family’s goals. We will work to improve your child’s skills, reduce stress, and bring joy back to mealtimes as your family works towards short-term and long-term goals.
