Stevens Speech Pathology
At Stevens Speech Pathology, we recognize the crucial role of feeding in your child's early development. Successful and pleasurable feeding experiences during infancy lay the foundation for a lifetime of health and wellness.
Feeding is more than just a nutritional necessity; it's a gateway to bonding and learning. It provides invaluable opportunities for communication and social interactions that shape future experiences. As highlighted by Lefton-Greif (2008), these early interactions are fundamental in forming the basis for all future social and communicative exchanges.
We understand the challenges and concerns that come with feeding difficulties. Whether your baby is struggling with latching onto the breast or bottle, or facing more complex issues like swallowing difficulties, our team is here to support you. At Stevens Speech Pathology, we offer comprehensive, responsive, evidence-based, and neurodevelopmental approaches to address your child's feeding and swallowing difficulties.
“Lindsay’s impact on our lives has been nothing short of miraculous. When my daughter faced the challenge of structural abnormalities at birth, Lindsay stepped in as her feeding therapist at just 4 months old. Navigating such complex feeding issues, Lindsay's expertise was a beacon of hope. Her knowledge and advocacy were instrumental in getting my daughter diagnosed with a Pediatric Feeding Disorder. Throughout this challenging journey, Lindsay was not just a therapist but a source of unwavering support and comfort. I genuinely can't express the depth of my gratitude for her. Now, at the age of five, my daughter has made remarkable strides, and Lindsay played an immeasurable role in this progress. She was that breath of fresh air when drowning in uncertainty. Our journey has been brighter because of her invaluable presence.”
