Does it feel like you’ve tried everything to prevent your child from melting down?

Maybe you’ve tried adjusting the routine. Picked your battles. Stayed calm.

But even small things like putting on socks or brushing teeth can spark a full-on crisis.

You’ve started to wonder… Is something deeper going on?

If that sounds familiar, it may not be defiance or drama.

It might be a sensory processing issue - a neurological difference in how your child experiences touch, sound, movement, and more.

At Madden Therapy, we work with parents who feel stuck between confusion and concern. We help you make sense of the behaviors and build a plan that actually supports your child’s nervous system, not just their actions.

You don’t need a diagnosis to start asking questions.
You just need a gut feeling and you already have that.

We talk to so many parents who say things like:
➡️ “I don’t know if this is a delay or just their personality.”
➡️ “I don’t want to overreact.”
➡️ “It’s not that bad… right?”

Delays often show up subtly, through skipped milestones, heightened sensitivities, or behaviors that don’t go away with time. And the earlier you notice them, the easier they usually are to support.

Pediatric occupational therapy isn’t just for major concerns, it’s often the first step toward easing everyday frustrations like picky eating, communication struggles, or sensory meltdowns.

If you’ve ever felt unsure or overwhelmed by all the info out there, start by writing down three things your child is finding especially hard right now.
That simple list could tell you more than any internet search ever will.

Save this post if you’ve been in the “I’m not sure” phase for a while. You’re not behind, you’re just ready to understand more.

Is it “just a phase”? Or is it something more?

You’ve asked the pediatrician.

Listened to well-meaning advice.

Waited, watched… and wondered.

But here’s the thing: If you’re asking the question, that means you’re already paying attention.

And sometimes, that question is the answer.

🌱 In our newest blog, we walk through five key signs that your child might benefit from speech therapy—and why early support doesn’t mean you’re overreacting. It means you’re proactive.

When your child is having a hard time, whether it’s eating, sleeping, focusing, or getting their words out, it’s rarely just one thing. That’s why we take a full-picture approach at Madden Therapy.

We offer support in all the ways your child shows up in the world:

✨ Occupational therapy to help with big emotions, sensory needs, and building independence
🗣️ Speech therapy to support communication, social skills, and language development
🍓 Feeding therapy to make mealtimes less stressful and more successful
👅 Oral myofunctional therapy to support breathing, swallowing, and tongue-tie recovery
📚Academic tutoring
🤰Lactation consulting and postpartum doula services
📍 Concierge services to bring therapy into your home, school, or wherever it’s needed most

Because kids (and parents!) don’t live in silos, and neither should their support.

You might be focused on your child’s feeding, sleep, or speech challenges but have you considered how their nervous system plays a role?

According to Dr. Savy Ford, pediatric chiropractor and founder of Blossom Family Chiropractic, stress or tension in the nervous system can show up as:

👅Difficulty latching or chewing
👅Mouth breathing or poor sleep
👅Emotional dysregulation or meltdowns

And if that underlying stress isn’t addressed, a tongue tie release may not bring the full relief you're hoping for. Tension patterns can persist, and old habits can quickly return.

Before and after a release, Dr. Savy uses gentle, targeted chiropractic care to help:

✅ Relax tight tissues in the jaw, neck, and spine
✅ Improve feeding and breathing mechanics
✅ Support better adaptation and healing

🌿 Noticing tension in your child? Here are some things to look out for.

Watch for a head tilt, clenched jaw, or persistent restlessness. These can be signs their nervous system is working overtime and could benefit from gentle, informed care.

Not all tongue tie releases lead to lasting results. What makes the difference?

According to Dr. Casey Lynn, a truly effective release requires three essentials:

👅A confirmed tether (tongue, lip, or buccal tie)
👅Sufficient muscle tone and coordination
👅Enough space in the mouth for the tongue to function properly

At Madden Therapy, we focus on preparing the body so when the tie is released, your child has the strength, space, and support to use their new mobility.

🧠 Planning a release for your child?

Ask your provider this first: “Are we addressing tone and space, not just the tie?”

If the answer is no, it may be worth slowing down and building readiness first.

Feeding battles. Restless sleep. Gagging on textures. Speech that’s hard to understand.

These aren’t just “toddler phases.” They’re often signs of tethered oral tissues (TOTs), tight or restricted tissues under the tongue, lips, or cheeks that affect how your child eats, sleeps, and speaks.

When left unaddressed, TOTs can lead to long-term struggles with chewing, breathing, speech, and even emotional regulation because the body is constantly working harder than it should.

But with the right support, those daily stressors can become easier. Mealtimes feel manageable, sleep becomes more restful, and your child can communicate with clarity and confidence.

At Madden Therapy, we work closely with professionals like Dr. Savy Ford and Dr. Casey Lynn to evaluate the full picture, not just the tie itself, but how it affects your child’s whole body and function.

Doing a tongue tie release without strengthening the muscles first is like trying to build a house on sand. Things might look okay at first, but they won’t hold up over time.

That’s why myofunctional therapy is central to our approach at Madden Therapy.

Your kid needs strong tongue, lips, and facial muscles so they can chew, swallow, and breathe functionally, not just after surgery, but for life.

We coordinate with Dr. Casey Lynn for surgical precision and Dr. Savy Ford to support the nervous system so the body can fully integrate new patterns.

🎯 Wondering if your child might benefit?

Notice if they breathe with their mouth open, drool frequently, or struggle to keep their lips closed at rest, these are signs oral function needs attention.

📖 Explore how myofunctional therapy supports both function and healing in our latest blog: “Beyond the Tie: A Whole-Child Approach to TOTs and Developmental Wellness”

If your child has been diagnosed with a tongue or lip tie, you may have heard that a frenectomy is the next step. But many parents wonder, “Will this fix everything?”

The reality is, tethered oral tissues (TOTs) are often just one piece of a bigger picture.

At Madden Therapy, we’ve seen that successful outcomes depend on more than just the release.

That’s why we collaborate closely with Dr. Casey Lynn at Tampa Tongue-Tie Center and Dr. Savy Ford at Blossom Family Chiropractic to support your child’s muscle tone, oral function, and nervous system, before and after surgery.

📌 If you're considering a frenectomy:

Ask whether your child’s muscle coordination and readiness have been assessed. Strength and tone are essential for healing and long-term results.

Company History & Philosphy

Established in 2017.

I worked for over 10 years in the hospital setting, both inpatient and outpatient, serving many different types of patients. When I decided to transition to private practice, I was one of the lead feeding therapists at a local children's hospital training incoming staff on evaluation and treatment of feeding/swallowing and speech-language disorders. I established this practice in 2017 with the goal of bringing more personal, customized service to my patients and their families. I am deeply proud to have personal contact and involvement with every member of the Madden Therapy Solutions "family," and to be invited into their homes and their lives. Every member of my staff has been hand-picked by me to ensure that the quality of the care every patient receives is exceptional, and that every therapist shares the same philosophy and devotion to personal attention, genuine caring, and incredible service. Madden Therapy Solutions looks forward to helping your child and your family in any way possible!
