Our Services
Our Holistic Approach To Therapy
At Noonie and Bubs Pediatric Therapy, we take a holistic approach because we recognize that every child is more than a single skill or diagnosis. We look at the whole child: cognitive, physical, emotional, social, sensory needs, etc. and how these interact with their everyday environments, including home, school, and the community.
We also believe that collaboration is essential. By working closely with families and other professionals involved in a child’s life, we aim to provide support that is consistent, thoughtful, and truly centered on the child’s overall well-being.
We are thrilled to be a private practice that is also able to provide services to children within an educational setting. This is why our service location is truly unique and we are excited to welcome the community to our space.
Speech
In speech therapy, we work on how to say sounds in isolation, words, phrases, sentences and in conversation. We want your child to be understood by an unfamiliar listener 80% of the time, by the age of 4 years old.
Language
In language therapy, we work on how to understand what we hear (i.e. following verbal directions) or read and how we use words to tell others what we are thinking. We welcome and encourage all modes of communication (verbal, signing, AAC, gestures, etc.)
Oral Motor Skills
We work on the range of motion, strength and coordination of the muscles in the mouth, tongue, cheeks, lips and jaw, to assist with feeding and speech skills. The strength, coordination and control of these oral structures are the foundation for feeding in relation to sucking, biting, crunching, licking and chewing.
Early Feeding Skills
In feeding therapy, we work on breast and/or bottle-feeding difficulties, transferring to solids, and texture/sensory difficulties with food. We use a holistic approach and collaborate with other specialists like Occupational Therapists, Lactation Consultants, Pediatricians, Pediatric Dentists, ENTs, etc. to improve feeding skills. You can find us providing these services at a local infant feeding collaborative in Lake Nona, FL.
Social Skills
In therapy, we work on social language concepts like turn taking, understanding tone, gestures, facial expressions and how to initiate, continue or repair a conversation with others.
Parent Education
We host parent-led child classes, parent classes, Q&As, and provide resources, coaching opportunities to learn more about developmental milestones, communication, feeding, interactive reading, playing, shoe tying and more.
Workshops
We host in-person and virtual training opportunities for educators and other pediatric professionals who would like to learn more about what services Speech-Language Pathologists provide and how we can collaborate and help serve the community together.
Before
After
Myofunctional Therapy
We focus on improving the strength, coordination, and function of the muscles of the face, tongue, and mouth. These muscles play an important role in breathing, eating, speaking, and overall oral development. Through individualized exercises and activities, we help children build adequate oral habits to support healthy growth and oral function.
This type of therapy is best suited for children ages 4 and up, as it requires the ability to follow directions and actively participate in specific exercises.
