Additional information:

Speech in Therapy The City PLLC  / Speech in The City LLC works with babies to young adults who have feeding challenges, disorders and feeding concerns. We work with a nutritionist to monitor calorie intakes and weight gain goals. Some of the children we have work with are:

  • Children who are having trouble eating my mouth
  • Children with a history of reflux related eating challenges
  • Children who are having trouble transitioning through different textures (example purees to solids)
  • Children who are working on transitioning from tube to oral eating
  • Children who are working on taste trials of food
  • Children who need support with muscle movements of the oral motor system in order to prepare for eating by mouth
  • Children who have had challenges with feeding therapy in the past due to poor perceptions of eating
  • Children with facial anatomical differences
  • Children who are “picky” or “prefer” certain types of foods including texture, temperature and color
We believe it is our job to help these children to the best of our abilities by providing a safe place and safe feelings around food. Though we have an office location, most of feeding therapy is done at home to avoid any additional stress on the child and family during mealtimes.
