Our Process
Assessment
We come together in a safe and familiar environment to assess and understand each individual’s challenges and opportunities for growth.
-
Feeding assessment done at meal times.
Breastfeeding and bottle feeding assessment done in the comfort of your own home.
Collaboration with other providers and professionals to access full records and current course of treatment.
Administration of standardized tests in some cases, including: PlS-5, GFTA-3, CELF preschool 2, REEL-4, DAYC-2, PTBI.
Standardized tests are not always needed if client is self-pay provided the assessment environment is adequate.
Intervention
A personalized plan of action is created and put into motion.
-
An individualized treatment plan is created with family-centered goals that is ongoing and fluid to adapt to changing needs.
Intervention strategies can include therapeutic exercises for improving oral motor and swallowing function, play-based intervention, and treatment plans that include physical therapy.
The intervention plan is enacted in collaboration with the client’s family and team of providers.

Through collaboration with all involved care providers and the family, we outline steps to ensure our intervention tactics provide continued growth and achieve the highest level of function for each client.
A timeline is established to guide next steps.
Referrals are made when needed to address all points of care.
Continuing Care
After we build your roadmap to success, we work together to make sure your family has solid footing and the confidence to follow through. I check in to ensure the plan is working, and learn what I can do to continue to match the individual’s evolving needs.
