Brave Wings Therapy is a caring pediatric practice specializing in speech therapy, feeding, OT, baby feeding, and autism support services. Our therapists are highly trained in various therapeutic techniques which include PROMPT, sensory integration, body work/CST, SOS Approach to Feeding, Oral Placement Therapy, TOTs/Myofunctional Therapy, AAC, Infant Feeding, and Voice Therapy. We also offer a center-based Autism program which provides child-centered, strength-based support services to autistic individuals. We work with babies and kids of all ages and abilities!
What We Provide:
PROMPT/Speech Therapy
PROMPT is a tactile-kinesthetic approach that uses touch cues to a patient’s articulators (jaw, tongue, lips) to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase or sentence.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a muscle-based approach which focuses on improving oral function (movement of jaw, lips, and tongue) for optimal breathing, speaking, and eating.
Infant Feeding Therapy
A comprehensive approach to identifying and treating infants with significant feeding difficulties. We help parents identify and treat issues such as difficulty latching, feeding frustrations, and more.
Oral Motor & Feeding
Oral motor for speech and feeding is designed to be used with clients who present with oral motor deficits related to poor muscle control, reduced coordination, and agility of the oral structures.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children gain independence while also strengthening the development of fine motor skills, sensory-motor skills, and visual motor skills.
Therapeutic Preschool/Autism Program
Our child-centered, strength-based program uses the scientific principles of learning in order to effectively teach functional life skills, communication, and overall independence. We incorporate the child’s interests into their treatment plan.
“I highly recommend brave wings. My child received speech with Rachel and OT with Nicole. And they were the dream team!!! They were experienced, skilled, and dedicated. They always had a smile on their faces and were cheerful. My son was always so excited to go into therapy. Within a year my son reached his goals! We’re so grateful to Nicole & Rachel!”
