Speech Therapy
Our speech therapists prioritize child-led therapy with all of our pediatric patients. This approach is centered around the child's interests, preferences, and pace. By following the child's lead, we create an environment that encourages their engagement and participation in therapy. We integrate activities and interventions based on the child's individual needs and abilities, allowing them to take the lead in shaping the direction of their sessions. This method not only fosters a sense of empowerment and autonomy in the child but also maximizes their motivation and enthusiasm for speech therapy, leading to more effective and enjoyable outcomes.
Feeding Therapy
Our dynamic team of feeding specialists create a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and empowered during mealtimes. Our focus is on understanding the child's cues, preferences, and pace, allowing them to take the lead in exploring various foods and textures. Through responsive feeding, we adapt strategies to meet each child's unique needs, encouraging a positive relationship with food while considering their sensory and developmental milestones. By placing emphasis on the child's cues and responses, we aim to foster a relaxed and enjoyable mealtime experience that supports healthy eating habits and overall well-being. If your child is in the process of transitioning to oral feeding and gradually weaning from tube feeding, we offer comprehensive support and collaborate with all of your child's medical providers to ensure the best possible outcome.
Lactation Consultations
Our lactation consultants provide prenatal and postpartum lactation care, prioritizing individualized support tailored to the specific goals of each patient. Understanding that every patient's breastfeeding journey is unique, we strive to create a nurturing and personalized environment. Our approach revolves around active listening and collaboration, where we take into account the patient's preferences, challenges, and aspirations regarding breastfeeding. We refrain from conducting weighted feeds during consultations and opt to monitor a baby's weight over a short period, aligning with our commitment to supporting a responsive feeding approach. This method helps alleviate the feelings of anxiety commonly associated with weighted feeds, allowing for a more relaxed and nurturing feeding environment. Our aim is to empower our patients with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to achieve their personal breastfeeding goals, ensuring a fulfilling and supportive journey into parenthood.
Parent Guidance Sessions
Our parent guidance sessions offer a tailored and supportive approach aimed at equipping parents with effective tools to aid their child's speech, language, and/or feeding development. During these sessions, our experienced professionals collaborate with parents, providing valuable insights and strategies personalized to meet their child's specific needs. We focus on empowering parents with practical techniques and resources designed to enhance communication skills, promote language acquisition, and support healthy feeding habits. By fostering a collaborative partnership, our consultations aim to equip parents with the confidence and skills necessary to create an enriching environment at home, facilitating their child's overall development and fostering lasting progress.
