WEBINAR: Feeding and Speech: How Feeding Skills Support Speech Development (With Heather Vukelich)

Did you know that the skills your child uses for eating and drinking also play an important role in speech development?

In this webinar, we'll explore the connection between feeding skills and speech sound development. You'll learn how the muscle movements used for spoon feeding, drinking from a cup, straw drinking, and chewing lay the foundation for clearer speech and healthy oral motor development.

We'll also review facial development, oral muscle function, and the critical feeding milestones that support speech. Through practical demonstrations, you'll learn techniques to encourage more efficient feeding patterns that can positively impact your child's communication skills.

Parents will leave with a deeper understanding of the relationship between feeding and speech, along with practical strategies they can begin using right away to support both.

Finding Calm in the Chaos: Recognizing and Responding to Caregiver Stress

November 4th @ 10 AM Central Time


If you’re a parent who’s spent too much time in hospital rooms, waiting on test results, or juggling therapies and appointments, you know how hard it can be to ever feel “normal” again. This session is a conversation between parents — not another lecture.

Elizabeth will share what she’s learned about medical trauma and why many of us stay in a constant state of alert, even long after the crisis passes. She’ll help you understand what’s happening in your body when you feel on edge or shut down, and she’ll teach a simple activity you can start using right away to help your nervous system come back to safety.


You’ll walk away with:

  • Language for what you’re feeling and why
  • A new way to notice when your body is stuck in “survival mode”
  • A small, practical tool to help you respond instead of react when things get hard
