Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Evaluations and assessments are performed by a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist who specializes in augmentative and alternative communication. Other collaborative members may include occupational therapists, vision specialists, special educators, and more.
- Results – Many individuals have been enabled to overcome barriers in their day-to-day lives at home, in school, in the workplace, and in the community. A variety of alternative communication devices are available during assessment procedures and may be recommended for trial or extended use after the evaluation.
- Training – We offer a unique therapy program for AAC users and their support team. Our program is catered to the needs of each individual, but typically includes six to eight follow-up therapy/training sessions constructed to provide functional communication opportunities for the user and programming support for caregivers.
Feeding Therapy
The ability to eat is one of our most fundamental yet complex needs. If a child is having difficulty eating or is refusing to eat, it can impact all other areas of their life.
Our Feeding Clinic staff includes speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists that are passionate about determining the best treatment options to improve feeding and swallowing habits, as well as quality of life.
We often collaborate with physicians, dietitians, and other specialists to provide the most well-rounded treatment plan.

- Fussy and/or picky eaters with overactive gag
- Sensory-Behavioral feeding concerns
- Poor weight gain or failure to thrive
- GI tract reconstruction surgeries
- Breastfeeding or bottlefeeding concerns
- Tongue tie or lip tie concerns
- Chewing and swallowing concerns
