Learn about feeding therapyWhy in-home therapy works
Children flourish in their natural environment - around the people they love, with the toys and tools they use every day. By working where your child lives and plays, we personalize care to your child, your family, and your home. Skills learned in real routines stick: children generalize faster when therapy happens where life happens.
- Your own toys and tools - no unfamiliar clinic equipment
- Strategies built into your real routines
- No commute, no waiting room, no meltdowns in the car
- You see every session and learn every strategy

More about SarahWhat families say
"As the first therapist to evaluate and work with our son, Sarah has gone above and beyond in the therapy world. She is easily accessible and wants the best for us. We will forever be grateful for her!"
"Not only did my daughter reach her OT goals, but she also looked forward to seeing Sarah each week, which says a lot! Sarah is kind, responsible, and dedicated to her profession. Highly recommend!"
"My son has a birth defect that delayed his feeding. It always broke my heart to see him cry with other therapists. Sarah connected with him instantly and made eating fun. He now has more food variety!"
