May is Pediatric Feeding Disorder Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to learn the signs.
If your child struggles with eating, mealtime battles, or growth concerns, a feeding evaluation with a speech-language pathologist could help!

🌟 May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month — and we’re celebrating by shining a light on what Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) really do! 💬👅💆‍♀️

SLPs don’t just treat speech — we can support feeding, breathing, oral function, myofunctional disorders, and more. At our private practice, we go beyond traditional therapy by combining functional therapy with therapeutic bodywork to get to the root of the issue — not just manage the symptoms. 🌱

Whether it’s helping your little one eat without anxiety, improving oral posture, or reducing tension that affects breathing and function — we’re here for the whole person, not just their speech. 💛

There’s something magical about sipping tea from a dainty cup and nibbling sweet treats from a fancy plate—especially for little ones!

✨ Fun fact: Changing how food is presented can help kids feel more comfortable trying something new.
Whether it’s a fun tea party setup or tiny bites served in colorful dishes—playful presentation = more adventurous eaters!

So grab the teacups, stack those snacks, and turn snack time into an experience worth toasting. 💛
