“They have ARFID, so imaging with SLP isn’t indicated.”

But here’s the question I keep coming back to: How do we know what we haven’t assessed?

ARFID is often discussed through a behavioral and psychiatric lens—and appropriately so. But when feeding skill or swallowing concerns are present, how do we know that fear or refusal is occurring in the absence of an underlying physiologic challenge if we haven’t looked?

Not every child with ARFID needs an instrumental swallow study. But were they incorrectly diagnosed ? Or properly diagnosed but there are comorbidities?

What we should be asking as SLP’s is

“ Is ARFID the whole picture?”

Tonight, we’re digging into the overlap between ARFID, choking fears, phobias, feeding skill, and swallowing—and why interdisciplinary assessment matters. 👀

Learn with us tonight for our course “ARFID, Choking, and Phobias Oh My!: Understanding Fear Based Food Refusal in Children and Adults”

What a powerful way to kick off Black Maternal Health Week! Yesterday morning, we had the honor of speaking at the National Black Association for Speech-Language and Hearing Conference in Atlanta.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to speak on issues that deeply impact Black mothers, babies, and families and what we can do as SLP’s to support.

Thank you to everyone who showed up engaged, connected, and shared their stories. There is so much more work still needed to provide families with the care they deserve, but the more we educate and advocate the closer we get !

2 years. Countless families. Endless love. 💕

Justice for Infants is officially 2 years old! 🎉🎂

From a vision to a movement—we are so proud of what these past two years have brought: families supported, clinicians trained, and consulting partnerships that have strengthened feeding + swallowing care in schools, clinics, and communities. 👶🎓

It hasn’t been easy—this journey has taken blood, sweat, tears, and plenty of sleepless nights—but every moment has been worth it to build something bigger than ourselves.

Thank you to every family who trusted us, every child who inspired us, and every colleague and partner who believed in the mission. The best is yet to come 💪🏽✨

If you’ve been part of this journey in any way, we’d love to hear a memory or message below.
