Feeding Foundations Speech Therapy

A gentle feeding reminder: tasting is not the only kind of progress. 🌱

Looking at a food, allowing it on the plate, touching it, smelling it, helping prepare it, or taking one tiny lick can all be meaningful steps toward feeling safe with food.

Invite your children into the whole experience:

📝 Plan meals together
🛒 Shop for food together
🥕 Wash, chop, mix, and cook together
🍽️ Sit down and eat together
😊 Let them see you genuinely enjoying your food

Eating is about more than nutrition—it is also social, sensory, emotional, and relational. Children learn about food through repeated, pressure-free experiences with people they trust.

Connection first. Curiosity next. Tasting may come in time. 💛

🚨 Kentucky Medicaid Reimbursement Cuts

Kentucky Medicaid has announced a 4% reduction in provider reimbursement rates beginning August 1, 2026.

This impacts speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, hospitals, schools, physicians, and many other healthcare providers across the state.

For rural communities like ours, reimbursement cuts can make it harder to maintain access to vital services for children with feeding challenges, developmental delays, autism, and other special needs.

We encourage families and providers to contact our legislators and advocate for protecting access to care for Kentucky children.

Not all formulas function the same. The ingredients matter.

I recently completed advanced training diving deeper into formula ingredients, molecular structure, digestion, and how different formulations interact with infant feeding development and regulation.

Not all formulas function the same in the body — and not all babies respond the same way. Understanding the science behind proteins, fats, carbohydrates, digestion, gut response, oral function, and how these compare to human milk allows me to better individualize care based on each baby’s unique presentation.

There is rarely one “perfect” answer for every infant. My goal is always to look at the whole picture and help families understand what their baby may be communicating through their feeding responses. 🌱

When I started my practice, I truly thought it would just be me.

I was determined that Feeding Foundations would be different.

There are many wonderful practices that serve as places for new therapists to learn and grow — and that is so important. I was once that therapist myself. But deep down, I envisioned something a little different for this space: a practice built around seasoned professionals who truly know themselves, know their passion, and genuinely love what they do.

A place focused on quality, holistic care.
A place that looks for the root, not just the symptom.
A place that supports families without judgment — simply helping them meet their goals in the way that feels right for them.

So when the opportunity came to bring another incredible therapist and dear friend onto our team, it was truly a no brainer.

I am beyond thankful to welcome Brittany LaGrange to Feeding Foundations.

Brittany is an amazing OT, an incredible human, and someone I deeply enjoy both professionally and personally. Rhonda, Brittany, and I literally began our professional careers together, and getting to work alongside women I respect so much brings me more joy than I can explain.

I know our families are going to love her just as much as we do. 🤍

Welcome to the team, Brittany!
