✨ Help us officially welcome Ms. Grace to the FUNctional Communication & Feeding family! ✨

If you’ve been around our clinic for a while, you may already know Ms. Grace! 💛 She joined us to help while I was on maternity leave and it didn’t take long for our families to absolutely love her. So naturally we decided she needed to stay! 🥰

🎓 Ms. Grace is a proud Oklahoma State University graduate. Go Pokes! She completed her clinical rotations at Bethany Children’s Center and Firefly Pediatric Center.

She has a love for articulation, early intervention, and language, but most of all, she loves finding ways to make even the simple things fun! 🗣️✨

Outside of the clinic, Ms. Grace enjoys spending time with her family, being involved in church, working out, and spending time with her dogs. 🐶❤️

We’re so excited to have her officially on our team and can’t wait to see her continue growing as an SLP and building meaningful relationships with the families we serve.

Welcome to the team, Ms. Grace! We’re so lucky to have you! 💛🎉

🥳 Celebrating a graduate today! 👏🏼

Communication starts long before words. Through imitation, play, joint attention, and early language skills, we build the foundation for children to connect and communicate.

Early intervention matters. Strong foundations create stronger communication! ✨

If you have concerns about your child’s communication skills, don’t wait to reach out. An evaluation can help identify their strengths and the best ways to support their growth. 🗣️

Reviews like this mean so much to us. 🤍

Feeding therapy is truly one of our passions and we are so grateful to walk alongside families through their feeding journeys.

At FUNctional Communication and Feeding, we provide feeding therapy for ALL ages. From babies experiencing oral dysfunction, breast or bottle feeding difficulties, and oral motor challenges to older children navigating food aversions, picky eating, and limited food variety.

Feeding looks different for every child, which means therapy should too. We meet each child where they are and work toward making feeding feel more functional, comfortable, and positive. 🍼🥄🍓

From babies to big kids, we do it all. 🤍

ARFID vs. Picky Eating vs. Feeding Disorder: What’s the Difference? ✨

As an SLP working in a feeding clinic, I often meet families who come in feeling unsure how to describe what’s happening with their child’s eating. Is it just “picky eating”? Could it be ARFID or a feeding disorder like dysphagia? Let’s break it down 👇

🥦 Picky Eating is developmentally typical for many toddlers and preschoolers. These kids may:
• Have food preferences (often carbs!)
• Occasionally refuse new foods or textures
However, picky eaters still eat enough to meet growth and nutrition needs. Mealtimes might be frustrating, but their growth curve stays on track and they can usually expand their variety with time, modeling, and gentle exposure.

🚫 ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a mental health diagnosis that goes beyond “being picky.” It’s not about body image, it’s about fear, discomfort, or lack of interest in eating. Children with ARFID may:
• Have intense anxiety about choking, vomiting, or sensory experiences
• Show extreme distress or panic with new foods
• Eat such limited foods that growth, nutrition, or social participation is affected.
SLPs often collaborate with psychologists, dietitians and occupational therapists.

🍽️ Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) / Dysphagia involves underlying medical, motor, sensory, or behavioral difficulties that interfere with safe and efficient eating.
We might see:
• Coughing, choking, gagging, or wet vocal quality
• Difficulty chewing or moving food around the mouth
• Fatigue during meals
• Weight loss or poor weight gain
Feeding therapy for PFD focuses on strengthening oral-motor skills, supporting safe swallowing, improving endurance and helping families make mealtimes more positive and productive.

💬 In short:
• Picky eating = typical developmental phase.
• ARFID = psychological/behavioral disorder impacting intake.
• PFD/dysphagia = medical or motor-based feeding impairment

A feeding evaluation with an SLP and multidisciplinary team can help clarify what’s going on and build a plan that supports your child’s growth, safety and confidence with food. 💛
