Children
They may have feeding aversions, difficulty transitioning to solids, or general failure to thrive. A lot of these wee ones started life on the outside in an incubator, the truest kind of gift from above, and they’re not eating so great. When they become toddlers around the age of 2, we see them for language development. There’s a set of developmental milestones for 2-year-olds, so we see the kids that aren’t hitting them in time. School-aged kids present with errors in articulation and pronunciation. This translates to phonological impairments, which means difficulty reading, spelling, and general language development. They may also need help with phonology of English’s more difficult letters. We help teens with communication skills, and provide support when academic performance appears to have causes in cognitive functioning.
Adults
We also work with people with swallowing issues. Perhaps they’re choking more than before or spilling more food, or perhaps they’re on a feeding tube and undergoing chemo-radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer. Whatever the underlying cause, we love to work with people to get their nutrition into their bodies.
