You are the most important member of your child's speech + feeding therapy team. Learn to feel confident using communication and feeding strategies in everyday routines.
We are in this TOGETHER!
Many of our children are not born with the tools they need for development, but with hard work and a team behind them (that's us), they learn to thrive. Abeille Speech + Feeding Therapy offers communication intervention and feeding therapy services to children between the ages of birth to 5. My programs have a strong focus on parent coaching and evidence based intervention in a child's natural environment.

The bee, of course, flies anyway- because bees don't care what humans think is impossible"

"I ABSOLUTLEY recommend Kayla for your little one's speech and feeding needs. She worked with my extrememly speech delayed son for about a year. He went from having a handful of words to having a vocabulary of over 100! She gave me helpful tips and tricks to use with him to help him continue to flourish. He just turned 4 and never stops talking! Kayla is so patient and has the magical touch to get kiddos to talk through play"

"Kayla has been my son’s feeding and speech therapist since he was 2 months old. She has worked with him on bottle feeding, spoon feeding, cup drinking and eating solids. He has been able to be successful with his eating and nutrition because of her hard work. He is now 2.5 years old and she continues to help him develop in his speech and communication skills. Kayla has always done such a wonderful job identifying and using his strengths to help him progress in struggling areas, thinking outside the box and doing additional research when needed, providing us with helpful tips and exercises, and building a relationship with him. We love how she meets his individual needs in ways that also work well for our family. We are so thankful to have Kayla as our SLP and feeding therapist!

Kayla worked with my apraxic, autistic daughter from 18 months -3 years. I learned so much from her expertise and still use her ideas to this day. Kayla is truly fluent in all things speech/language development and it is clear that she really loves what she does!

Meet the team
According to the most up to date research on early intervention, children gain the most skills when therapy is embedded into daily routines in their natural environment. I've been through years of training in the areas of communication and feeding development, but YOU are your child's world. That means, we see the most growth when we can coach parents on evidence based strategies that can be carried over into their day to day lives. I know. You're not a therapist, and this sounds like a lot of pressure. But, I promise I will be there to help you every step of the way. We are a team, and I believe in you!
