Feeding Therapy at Speech Start! 🥦🍝🙌🏼

When Remy first started therapy, his diet was very limited and he relied on just a few preferred foods. Through consistent sessions, trust-building, and lots of hard work, he has expanded his food repertoire, increased tolerance for new textures and flavors, and grown more confident at the table!

This plate represents bravery, patience, and real progress. Feeding therapy is about meeting kids where they are and helping them feel safe exploring food — one step at a time.

If you have concerns about your child’s feeding, contact us to inquire about our feeding therapy services and learn how we can help!

Snowman bowling, but make it Speech Start FUN! ❄️⛄️

Targeting the horizontal plane of movement while practicing our target word “HIT”, using a weighted ball in prone for added input 💪
Sneaking in visual scanning, motor planning, and auditory memory—because play is the best way to build BIG skills 🎯🧠

Functional, fun, and full of purpose ✨

Social Skills in Action!

Dramatic play gives this age group a safe, fun way to practice real-life communication—taking turns, problem-solving, perspective taking, and using language with a purpose. When kids play it out, they’re learning how to navigate the world around them one interaction at a time 💬✨

At Speech Start, we pride ourselves on social skills group therapy. DM us for current group offerings!
