Stephanie

For about a year and a half, Caden had another feeding therapist, Stephanie. She did such a fantastic job with Caden's oral motor skills. Even though he refused to eat anything during that time, she was so great about keeping his skills up. In fact, when Michelle came to start feeding therapy, she was amazed at how well his oral function was considering he was almost two years old and had never eaten anything. I can honestly say that was entirely due to Stephanie!

We loved having her come to our home each week to work with Caden. In fact, one time she brought her daughter to observe so she could better understand what her mom did for work. It's kind of hard to explain to most people, let along a young person, why a child won't eat by mouth and that you have to teach them. So Sydney came along with Stephanie one day and just fell in love with Caden.

A couple days before we moved, they both came by the house to say goodbye to us. Sydney was excited to see how much Caden had changed in the year and a half since she had seen him. It was really fun to be able to see them both again and to tell them goodbye. Thank you, Stephanie, for all you did to prepare the way for Caden and his eating. He wouldn't have been ready for the behavioral approach if it wasn't for all the preparation you did ahead of time.

Thank you!!!
