NEW Staff Training Announcement!
Big News from Our Mighty Little Practice!
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded a grant to expand our clinic offerings through the end of the year — and we couldn’t be more grateful!
With support from Building Bright Futures, we’re enhancing our services in two exciting ways:
Staff training for local childcare providers to help identify young children who may benefit from support with speech, language, and/or feeding development.
The launch of a clinic-based garden, where we’ll offer garden-based therapy — a beautiful, hands-on extension of the work we do inside our clinic walls.
If you’re affiliated with a local childcare center and interested in boosting your team’s knowledge around early communication and feeding development, we’d love to connect! We offer tailored workshops based on your needs, along with free on-site early screenings for the families you serve.
A heartfelt thank you to Building Bright Futures for helping us grow — and for supporting Vermont families alongside us.
Pediatric speech, language and feeding therapy
Building confidence in our future generation to make their voices heard.
Feeding is our jam.
-
Our clinical staff have years of experience treating children with varying degrees of feeding skills. Throughout the years we have invested in high-level training opportunities led by experts to help hone our craft. AEIOU is one of those opportunities.
Areas of Specialty
Speech
Difficulty with producing clear speech sounds may present as utilizing a sound in place of another, having difficulty planning and executing speech sounds, leaving out sounds, and generally having a hard time being understood by others.
Expressive Language
The ability to generate age-appropriate phrase and sentence-level utterances may be hindered by producing errors in grammar, use of gestures, asking questions, or learning songs and rhymes.
Receptive Language
Difficulties in the area of receptive language present as challenges in understanding communication (spoken, gesture or otherwise).
Stuttering
Stuttering is characterized by interruptions in the flow of spoken utterances. These interruptions may be perceived as atypical rate and rhythm. An individual may also produce repetitions of sounds, syllables within words, and phrases.
Feeding
A child with a feeding disorder may present with a limited diet, refusal to try new foods, and, in some cases, concerns regarding their physical growth.
Early Intervention
Early intervention is therapy that is designed for children birth to three years of age and targets play skills, early development of speech and language and social communication.
