Treating feeding disorders is a specialized area in the broad field of speech therapy. It takes a vast amount of education and experience to adequately treat the complexities of infant and childhood feeding disorders. At Flight Speech Therapy, we are specially trained to assess and treat infant feeding issues such as breastfeeding, bottle feeding, oral structural and functional deficits, prematurity, failure to thrive, cleft palate, craniofacial malformations, etc. We are also trained to assess and treat childhood feeding issues such as ARFID, FPIES, EE, developmental feeding continuum, sensory-based food avoidances, oral structural and functional deficits, cleft palate, craniofacial malformations, etc.

Motor speech disorders can affect a child's overall intelligibility. This can range from a simple problem with the R sound to highly uninteligible connected speech. Some diagnoses that we are experienced in treating include: articulation delay/disorder, phonological disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, and dysarthria, among others. At Flight Speech Therapy, we take a unique approach to treating your child and make it our goal to help your child graduate out of therapy!
