Does your child have difficulty swallowing when eating or drinking? Crumbs and Smiles provides evaluation and treatment for feeding and swallowing disorders for children up to 18 years of age. We work with children with various health conditions and medical conditions to reduce the risk and occurrence of swallowing problems.
With over twelve years of experience as a
speech pathologist working with families and
their children with feeding and swallowing
disorders, I am educated and certified
in a variety of treatment evidence based
approaches to support your child’s
success during mealtimes.
Crumbs and Smiles’ mission is to support the growth of healthy and independent children by providing a family-centered approach to therapy. Children with feeding and swallowing disorders may be at higher risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety. We collaborate with allied professionals (e.g.,mental health professionals, behavioral health therapists, dentists, occupational therapists) to ensure quality of care.
