Additional information:
I always start with understanding the family’s concerns and goals for their child. I work closely educating and empowering parents as they are the most important member of the child’s team, aside from the child themselves. I use a responsive feeding approach and focus on treating the whole child. It is my goal to help children thrive and make mealtimes more enjoyable for all. My specialty training includes: Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding: The Essentials, Advanced Infant/Pediatric Dysphagia: Problem-Solving Complex Patients and Practice Challenges, Feeding: A Sensory Motor Approach, SOS Approach to Feeding, Lactation Counselor Training Course, Understanding the Orofacial Complex, Buteyko Breathing Certification Course, Beckman Oral Motor, TOTS (Tethered Oral Tissues Speciality), and Functional Assessment and Remediation of Tethered Oral Tissues.
