  My son has been working with the feeding therapists for over a year now. They are all so amazing!! He has had and still has some sensory issues, particularly with food. We really have seen a change in him and his ability to interact with and eat a variety of foods. He loves to be in the kitchen! I can’t even express how thankful we are to have found Foodology.

  Worth every second, and every penny.
  
  I was introduced to Cove Speech Therapy when, after trying every bottle on the market, I could not get my daughter to drink milk while I was away. After months of frustration, our baby continued to drink only 4-5 ounces of milk through the 8 hour work day. Compounded with numerous GI issues and a dairy intolerance, and I was simply at a loss as to how to help my child grow. I worked with lactation consultants, feeding therapists, and every mom that I knew. Nothing worked…
  The team at Cove Speech Therapy met virtually with my daughter and I. She completed a very thorough evaluation including nursing, drinking from a cup and straw, and eating solids. My first notice was that the providers were incredibly comforting through the process, both for my daughter and I. They utilized creative ways to assess the skills without putting any undue stress on my child. The team was very knowledgeable, and explained the process and interpretations through a holistic approach. While the specialists I had worked with previously explained pieces of the puzzle, the Cove team was truly the first and only to find the route of bottle refusal. They worked to explain the interaction between physiology and behavior/ experiences, all of which created the aversion and subsequently would lend to the solutions.
  I am so thankful that I found Cove Speech Therapy. For any parent out there who is at a loss as we were, I highly recommend this company. While there are ample providers out there, I can tell you that you will walk away from Cove with deeper knowledge and relief for your child. Good luck - and don’t worry! You will be in good hands.

  We started feeding therapy with Christine since my child was about 5 months. Her evaluation was comprehensive and through. Each appointment she was fully focused on my child and always listens to what I’m saying as a parent. I never felt like I wasn’t being heard. She is always available to help in between appointments. She has been with our family through pre and post tongue tie release as well as feeding therapy. I have learned so much from her. She has a great deal of knowledge and is always willing to help. I moved from NY and she was able to help us virtually. She would always send us handouts with pictures of what exercises we should be doing with our child and links to toys/tools needed for my child to make a stressful experience a little better. From tummy time, to oral play, to feeding therapy, suck/swallow exercises and more - Her advice is valuable and comes from experience.
  Christine truly genuinely cares about her clients, understands a parent’s struggle and we’re so grateful for all that she has done and continues to do for our family.

  I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Cove Speech Language And Feeding Therapy. They helped my son go from not wanting to put any solid foods even close to his mouth, to trying all sorts of new foods in just a few months. The therapists worked with him on his sensory issues, on self-feeding, and on learning to chew. They were patient and friendly, and through play, made it a very enjoyable experience for my son. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs speech and/or feeding therapy. I will never forget how much they helped my son and I am forever grateful to them.

  As a first time mom, I had several pediatricians and lactation consultants downplay my concerns. My 4 month old daughter who was 3 months old at the time would only consume 1-2 oz during a feeding. She was never fussy or seems to be in discomfort at first. But over a period of time she grew an aversion to eating and would cry if I even approached her with a bottle. Her pediatrician told me that she is just small and is growing on her own curve and to not worry. Well needless to say I worried and my baby was having more and more issues with gaining and growing. I tried so many different bottles, colic medication anything and everything I could think of and nothing was working. I finally as a last resort reached out to Christine and she was absolutely amazing. She was able to get me in for a virtual appointment the next day to assess my baby. Just by listening to my concerns and assessing my baby she was able to give me an educated diagnosis. And sure enough after getting the medical work up she was correct. My baby had both tongue and lip ties that caused my little girl to have sever colic, silent reflux and a high arched pallet. She explained to me how all her eating issues were related to the ties. I have now since gotten her oral ties revised and put my babes on reflux medication and my 9 pounds 3 oz baby is now drinking 4 oz bottles no longer had an aversion to eating and is growing. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Christine and her expertise. Without her my baby would be put on a feeding tube and further behind on the charts. Not only did she diagnose my baby but she made me feed validated as a mom. And she has been so amazing with answering any questions or concerns that I had had since my baby had her revisions. I will always recommend Christine 💗
