This therapy is designed to help children who have challenges with eating, swallowing, or have aversions to certain textures or types of food. We develop individualized sensory-motor programs based on your child's needs and family goals. From starting solids to overcoming picky eating, and everything in between, we have the expertise to guide you. And just like you, we want to get to the root cause. We pride ourselves in offering the kind of care that we want for our own families.

TONGUE, LIP, AND CHEEK TIES
Feeding difficulties due to tongue and lip ties aren't limited to babies; children of all ages can be affected. Whether it's trouble breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or even chewing solid foods, these issues can impact your child's health and well-being. Identifying tongue, lip, or cheek ties and addressing them through therapy is essential. At our practice, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for children experiencing feeding challenges related to tongue and lip ties, regardless of age. Our approach prioritizes therapy to improve feeding skills and habits before considering surgical release. Through personalized pre-release sessions, we prepare both child and family, address nutritional concerns, and develop tailored feeding plans to ensure optimal outcomes. Once your child is ready for release, we guide you through the process and provide ongoing support until feeding goals are achieved. Our dynamic home programs are designed to meet your child's specific needs, ensuring continuous progress and skill development in feeding.
TELETHERAPY
All of our services can be completed virtually through our HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform, anywhere in the state of Kentucky. We do prefer to have at least one in-person visit to allow for thorough and accurate intra-oral evaluation, as well as assessment of any tension or restriction patterns throughout your child’s body. Many patients have had great success with an in-person evaluation to get an accurate identification of needs, followed up with a virtual treatment plan. However, full virtual care – start to finish – is an option! Teletherapy is a proven effective therapy method that allows increased flexibility and convenience. Virtual visits are a great option if distance, driving, or illness are barriers.​​

Why Early Intervention in Speech Language Is Important
Early intervention in speech therapy is crucial as it can significantly improve a child's communication skills by addressing speech and language issues early on. By identifying and addressing difficulties in articulation, language development, and social communication at a young age, children can build a strong foundation for improved academic and social success in the future. Additionally, early intervention can prevent problems from worsening, leading to better long-term outcomes and reducing the need for extensive therapy later on. Investing in speech therapy early can positively impact a child's overall development and quality of life.
