We’ve been working on something special! So very proud to introduce Eden Wellness Collective 🤍

Eden Wellness Collective was created by women who believe care should feel personal, collaborative, and rooted in compassion.

We are a group of independently owned wellness practices sharing space, values, and a commitment to high standards. While each business operates independently, we are united in purpose: to provide exceptional, relationship-centered care that helps individuals and families grow, heal, and thrive.

Eden is more than a space — it’s a community.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we honor the women who built this vision — and the women, mothers, and families we are privileged to care for every day.

Love this graphic to better explain letter reversals. Many early readers struggle to master letter recognition and orientation and are not dyslexic.

Letter reversals DO NOT = dyslexia!

BUT we have to be vigilant in explicitly teaching letter formation, including directionality 📝

One of the most common concerns I hear:
“They’re still mixing up b and d… is it dyslexia?”

Letter reversals is NOT dyslexia.

This is actually called mirror invariance. The brain is designed to recognize objects as the same no matter the direction. That helps us in everyday life, but reading asks the brain to do the opposite. Now direction suddenly matters.

This is why we explicitly teach letter formation. Writing letters in a consistent way helps anchor orientation, connect sound to symbol, and build a stable reading pathway.

✨ Did You Know We Work on Feeding & Swallowing? ✨

At Luke Therapy Services, we don’t just work on speech and language — we also provide evaluation and treatment for feeding and swallowing difficulties for both kids and adults.

Feeding challenges can look like:
• Picky or limited eating
• Difficulty chewing or managing textures
• Coughing/choking during meals
• Prolonged mealtimes
• Transitioning to solids
• Oral motor weakness
• Sensory-based feeding issues

Swallowing concerns may include:
• Food “getting stuck”
• Frequent throat clearing
• Avoidance of certain textures
• History of aspiration or medical complexity

We are especially proud to collaborate with Abby Ross of Northwest Myofunctional Therapy to provide a multidisciplinary, whole-person approach to feeding and swallowing care.

By combining expertise in speech-language pathology and myofunctional therapy, we’re able to support:
✔️ Oral motor development
✔️ Safe swallowing
✔️ Airway-focused care
✔️ Functional eating skills
✔️ Long-term success

Whether you’re supporting a toddler struggling with solids or an adult navigating swallowing changes, we’re here to help.

✨ When Should You Schedule a Speech & Language Evaluation? ✨

Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s just a feeling that something isn’t quite clicking.

A comprehensive speech and language evaluation can give you clarity, direction, and a plan forward — whether for a child or an adult.

At Luke Therapy Services, we provide thorough, individualized evaluations in our Maryville and Rock Port locations, with clear recommendations and next steps tailored to your goals.

If you’ve been wondering… this might be your sign. 🤍

Looking at how kids develop skills can be a part of considering an Autism diagnosis, but it’s often not in a way people expect.

Being autistic does not mean a person missed and never developed common milestones (like the stereotypical examples - speaking, pointing, eye contact, pretend play, etc). Autistic people can develop these within the typical timeframe, on a delayed timeframe, or never… but people tend to think it’s never for all - when that’s just not true for most.

“You don’t take insurance?”

It’s one of the most common questions we get at Luke Therapy Services — and it’s a fair one!

Here’s why we’ve chosen a private-pay model 👇

✨ We keep our prices affordable — our sessions are comparable to what many families would pay for a specialist copay.
✨ We accept HSA and FSA cards, making it easy to use your pre-tax dollars.
✨ No insurance limitations. That means we treat based on what your child actually needs — not what an insurance company decides is “covered.”
✨ No surprise denials. No visit caps. No diagnosis restrictions.

When we aren’t bound by insurance rules, we can:
✔️ Target speech, language, literacy, and feeding goals holistically
✔️ Adjust frequency as progress changes
✔️ Collaborate with families and schools freely
✔️ Spend our time treating — not fighting billing codes

Our priority has always been simple: child-centered care with excellence and integrity.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by insurance barriers, we’d love to talk through your options and see how we can support your family. 💛

❤️ Why We Love What We Do ❤️

Valentine’s Day feels like the perfect time to share this…

We don’t just love speech therapy.
We love the kids.

We love the tiny victories.
We love the big breakthroughs.
We love the “I did it!” smiles.
And we especially love the hilarious, completely unfiltered things kids say in therapy. 😆

There’s nothing better than watching a child gain confidence — whether it’s saying a tricky sound, reading a new word, trying a new food, or using their voice in a brave new way.

At Luke Therapy Services, we get a front-row seat to growth, courage, and joy every single day. And that is something we never take for granted.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re feeling extra grateful for the families who trust us and the kids who make our jobs the sweetest calling. 💗

We truly love what we do — because we love who we do it for.

We do not learn to read by memorizing words.
Reading develops through a process called orthographic mapping, where the brain connects sounds to letters and links those words to meaning.

When children learn how the code works, they are able to read far more than a small set of memorized words.
