Reach for the Stars, LLC is a private practice predominantly serving the pediatric population. Both practice locations (one in Cranford, NJ and one in Staten Island, NY, are under the ownership and direction of Lisa Jiannetto-Surrusco, MA, CCC-SLP. The Staten Island location, formerly known as Speech and Language Therapy Associates of Staten Island, is now operating under the same name as the NJ o

ffice. Our clinical team is compromised of highly qualified NYS/NJS licensed and ASHA certified speech-language pathologists with diverse training and clinical backgrounds in a variety of sub-specialty areas. This includes childhood articulation and language disorders, motor speech disorders, voice and resonance disorders, fluency disorders, and complex feeding disorders. We work collaboratively with many of the best clinics and practices within the NYC Metropolitan area. We pride ourselves on repeat referrals from some of the finest institutions throughout the city for post-surgical treatment for cleft palate repair, velopharyngeal insufficiency, and laryngeal pathology. We are also among the few practices to treat adult voice and resonance disorders (at our Staten Island office only). Our therapists also possess training in some of the most sought after therapeutic approaches. This includes PROMPT to treat apraxia of speech, Orton-Gillingham and Wilson for literacy disorders, and SOS Feeding Approach to treat feeding disorders. In 2011, we launched the Find the Fun in Feeding Program to treat complex feeding disorder through the use of a systematic 12-week program. We offer our very own clinician-designed session activities customized to meet the individual needs of children needing a multi-sensory approach to treatment. Some of our therapists are also trained in techniques such as ABA and Verbal Behavior. Please note that not all providers are specialized in all areas, so when you contact us feel free to discuss your unique needs with our office. Our Clinical Staff:

If you want your child to feel less anxious and more confident about food, please look out for my new book co-authored with Jennifer C. Kelly, the amazing author of the original Fred Book Series. This was a delightful collaboration and aimed at empowering children to find the courage to explore new foods. We invite you to come along on Fred’s journey as he becomes a brave superhero through the process!

I have also written a parent friendly tool kit to compliment this book. Disclaimer: “Picky Eating” is a general term used to describe children who have restrictive diets, but it does not always suggest the presence of a pediatric feeding disorder or ARFID. If you have concerns about your child, please consult with your medical provider or seek out the advice of a feeding specialist/licensed SLP. Check out my articles on my website www.reachforthestarsllc.com. We are here to help! 💜⭐️
