Day 2 of myofunctional training ✔️

What’s been especially exciting about this series is that our therapists at Green Light didn’t walk in as beginners—we’re already deep in the myo world. This training is building on a really strong foundation and pushing our thinking even further.

We’re walking away with more tools, more nuance, and a deeper understanding of how oral function, breathing, and overall development are all so connected. It’s the kind of learning that immediately translates into better, more intentional care for our clients.

Grateful to keep growing, refining, and expanding what we can offer—can’t wait for the next session and to keep bringing this knowledge back to our families.

We’re hiring at Green Light 💚

If you’re looking for a place where your work truly matters—this is it.

At Green Light, you’ll have the opportunity to work with both medically complex and non-medically complex children, growing your skills across a wide range of needs while being fully supported by a collaborative, deeply experienced team.

You’ll learn feeding therapy from SLPs who are not just trained—but who have successfully helped children wean from feeding tubes. You’ll be part of the moments that define why we do this work:
✨ first bites
✨ first words
✨ first time a child produces a sound no one has been able to teach them before

We believe in child-led, relationship-based therapy. We believe joy is not extra—it’s essential. And we believe in supporting our therapists just as much as our families.

If you’re passionate, curious, and ready to grow, we’d love to connect.

So lucky to do what I do with the people I get to do it with 💛

Thank you, team, for the sweetest birthday surprise—cupcakes, card, and all the thought that went into it. It meant so much to me.

You are truly the kindest, most thoughtful, and supportive group. The way you show up for each other and for our families every single day is something really special.

Getting to build Green Light alongside you all is such a gift. Dream team doesn’t even begin to cover it ✨

Grateful for you always 💛 .zy .roberts1102

But nothing is more powerful than joy.

Joy is self-motivating.
Kids do what feels good.
They return to what they believe they can do.
They engage in what they enjoy.

When the table feels safe, playful, and pressure-free… progress follows.

If we want kids to eat, explore, and grow—we need joy at the table first 💛

Getting your child therapy doesn’t mean you did something wrong.

It usually means you noticed, trusted your instincts, and chose to support your child. 💚

Therapy isn’t just about speech, feeding, or learning — it teaches kids that when something feels hard, they don’t have to face it alone.

And that they can always come to you for help.

When picky eating starts creeping in, the goal isn’t to force more bites—it’s to bring back structure and safety around food 🍽️

These strategies work together to create a clear routine: parents decide the menu, kids decide what and how much to eat 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. This balance keeps a healthy amount of choice while reducing the anxiety that can build around meals.

Everyone knows what to expect. Your child feels safe at the table and always has at least one comfortable option available 🧀🥦🍝.

If these strategies feel like they might be too hard for your child right now, you’re not alone 🤍. Feeding challenges can be complex, and we’re here to help.

💚 Reach out to learn how our Green Light feeding therapy team can support your family.

Peaceful mealtimes start with a smoother transition to the table ✨

1️⃣ Think about the activity before dinner. If your child is doing their favorite thing, give them time to wrap it up—or save that activity for after the meal.

2️⃣ Let them help announce dinner. Kids love having a role! They can turn on the dining room light 💡 or tell everyone it’s time to eat 🍽️

Small shifts can make a big difference in how the whole meal feels. 💚

POV: You spend your career helping late talkers find their voices… and then your own kid finds all the words. Including the spicy ones. 🌶️😅

Welcome to the ✨imitation era✨ — where they copy. EVERYTHING.
Your tone.
Your sighs.
Your under-your-breath commentary. 😬

And yes… sometimes with shocking clarity.

But developmentally? This is GOLD.

Imitation means:
✨ They’re tuned in
✨ They’re mapping sounds to meaning
✨ Motor + language systems are syncing
✨ They’re ready to TALK

So maybe clean up your language a little… but also? Celebrate it.

Copying = growth. 💚

So grateful for the opportunity to present today at Simply Bee 🐝💛

We recently started collaborating with their incredible ARFID team, and it already feels like such a natural fit. When mental health providers and SLPs truly work together, kids and families benefit in the most meaningful way.

Today I shared about the role of the SLP in ARFID treatment — because while ARFID is classified as an anxiety-based disorder, it so often presents with real feeding and swallowing skill components.

We talked about:
✨ When anxiety is driving reduced exposure
✨ When skill deficits are driving anxiety
✨ How oral motor patterns, airway, sensory processing, and swallowing all play a role
✨ Why collaborative care (SLP + therapist) is the gold standard

At Green Light, we see over and over again that when the mental health piece and the feeding skill piece are addressed together, progress is not only possible — it’s powerful.

So excited about this partnership and the way we can support families together 🤍

This is .roberts1102 client — and this week he had a huge win. 🥪✨

He typically eats the exact same foods every day. Very structured, very predictable.

And this week? He happily ate a PB & J sandwich.

Wins like this are built on trust, relationship, regulation, and individualized strategy. Jamie did beautiful work honoring his pace and creating safety first.

This is what feeding therapy looks like at Green Light. 💚
