Who We Help | Infants

Tongue Tie Babies Speech Language Therapist Orofacial Myologist for Infants NYC Westchester

Top Issues We Treat in Infants

  • Tongue tie, medically termed as ankyloglossia, occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too tight, limiting the tongue's movement. This can lead to difficulties in breastfeeding (such as difficulty latching/sucking, low milk supply, feeding all day, your baby falling asleep whilst feeding, drooling, or a small blister on your infant’s upper lip), speech development, and oral hygiene.

    As a Speech Pathologist who is also a Certified Lactation Counselor with feeding and oral motor training, we offer a research-backed method for tongue tie that uses gentle, specialized techniques to improve tongue mobility and functionality. We also help support families through the process with before and after care.

  • Feeding difficulties in infants can present in various ways, from difficulty latching during breastfeeding, to struggling with bottle feeding or transitioning to solid foods.

    We specialize in assessing and treating feeding difficulties, providing tailored interventions to improve oral motor skills, swallowing coordination, and feeding behaviors. Our goal is to get your child to eat a wider variety of food and decrease behaviors, anxiety, and any other negative habits or issues around feeding.

  • Oral motor issues in infants can manifest in difficulties with sucking, swallowing, open mouth, drooling, chewing, and overall oral coordination.

    Our team of professionals specialize in assessing and treating oral motor issues in infants, providing personalized interventions to enhance oral motor skills, improve feeding efficiency, and promote overall oral health.

  • Speech and language delay in infants can manifest as a delay or difficulty in reaching typical speech and language milestones for their age, such as babbling, pointing, following simple commands, saying first words, or forming simple sentences.

    Our team of Speech Language Pathologists are trained to evaluate infants’ unique needs and design individualized therapy plans to enhance their communication skills. We focus on supporting infants in reaching their full communication potential, offering reassurance that they can thrive and excel in their verbal expression.
