Our Mission:
Empower.
We empower infants, children, and adults to communicate & have successful mealtimes. We teach families our strategies and encourage parent involvement to decrease time spent in therapy.

At Lekker Speech & Feeding, we believe that every client is an individual and should be treated as one. We use research to find approaches and techniques that are a good fit and effective for each client to decrease time spent in therapy. Positive experiences are created through play and parents are coached on all our strategies to decrease time spent in therapy. Every client has the potential to communicate or eat when given the right tools and we look forward to being a part of that journey!
The ability to understand and communicate to the people around you using correct sounds, grammar, social skills, and/or alternative forms of communication like high-tech devices, sign language, and picture cards.
The ability to eat a variety of age appropriate foods, liquids, and textures without anxiety, tantrums, or power-struggles during mealtimes. This includes breastfeeding, bottle feeding, g-tube feeds, and oral feeds.
The ability to breastfeed with comfort, latching, and adequate milk supply in order for baby to meet their nutritional needs. This includes helping both mom and baby to create a positive breastfeeding experience.
