Helping children with sensory, speech, feeding, and developmental challenges succeed. Explore our neurodevelopmental therapy programs designed for every milestone.
Occupational Therapy
Here at Sense Able Brain, our Occupational Therapists specialize in the treatment of:
- Sensory Processing Disorder
- Sensorimotor deficits
- Fine motor challenges
- Coordination difficulties
- Self-help skills (dressing, feeding, bathing, hygiene, etc.)
- Emotional & behavioral regulation
- Attention & focus
- Reading skills

Direct treatment is a hands-on approach between the therapist and the child. Each session typically lasts 1 hr, depending on the child’s tolerance. We include telehealth sessions as a way to support you at home and help with carryover.
We utilize our neurodevelopmental Therapy Path to Success to help children succeed. We understand that if certain milestones aren’t met, especially neurologically, those gaps act as an anchor that delays or prevents a child from succeeding in school and life.
Speech & Language Therapy
When a child struggles with communication, eating, or reading skills, it can be frustrating for everyone involved, especially the child.
We understand this. Our Speech Therapist can help your child learn the skills to be able to communicate more clearly, safely eat a greater variety of foods, and improve reading and writing skills. (For more information on Feeding Therapy, go here.)

Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy is more than just “teaching a child to eat.” Our therapists work closely with children and their families to determine the source of the child’s difficulties and develop very specific therapies to make the entire process of eating easier and more enjoyable, and bring increased peace and harmony to mealtime in your home.
Our Feeding Therapy Services
We offer feeding programs for all ages and stages of childhood development
Infants Under 1 year
Bottle Feeding, Breastfeeding & Lactation Coaching
We offer Lactation Coaching for those who are struggling with breast feeding, and can work with you and your infant to help them nurse or take a bottle with more ease. We will look at their oral motor skills, inspect for possible oral tethers, and assess for other fascial, muscle, or organ misalignments that would make feeding a challenge for these very little ones. They often need some fascial release and bodywork to be able to relax enough to nurse. We can help.
Transitioning to Solids
Infant feeding therapy includes an initial assessment of oral skills, sensory processing, and freedom of movement, and body alignment. Then we work with you and your baby in sessions to help your baby feed successfully.
Indicators your infant would benefit from Feeding Therapy:
- tongue tie/lip tie (pre- and post-revision)
- difficulty with breast or bottle feeding
- arches away from bottle/breast/food
- difficulty coordinating the suck/swallow/breathe pattern during bottle or breast feeding
- feeding takes longer 30 minutes
- frequently vomits during or after eating
- fussy or irritable with eating
- the infant seems congested during or after eating
- failure to gain weight/decline in growth curve
- reflux/GI issues
- tube feeding dependent
- prematurity
Children & Teens Over 1 Year
Our Feeding Therapy for children includes an initial assessment of oral motor skills, sensory processing, postural control, freedom of movement, and body alignment. Then we work with you and your child one to three times a week to help them be able to eat more foods safely and without distress. We understand the disruption in the daily routine of the home when a child can’t eat.
Your child may benefit from feeding therapy if they experience the following:
- feeding takes longer 30-40 minutes for toddlers and young children
- difficulty transitioning to pureed/solid foods
- difficulty chewing food / swallows food whole
- eating and swallowing difficulties
- gagging and/or coughing with eating or drinking
- pocketing food in the mouth
- sucking or spitting out food
- frequently vomits during or after eating
- fussy or irritable with eating
- the child seems congested during or after eating
- failure to gain weight/decline in growth curve
- “picky eater”/ limited food repertoire

- drinks calories
- resists meals; prefers to snack
- has sensory integration disorder
- reflux/GI issues
- tube feeding dependent
- tongue tie/lip tie
- prematurity

Sound Learning Therapy
When learning is hard, it’s often not about intelligence—it’s about regulation. If a child’s nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, their brain simply can’t focus, connect, or retain new information. Sound Learning is a neuroscience-based therapeutic program designed to help children calm their bodies, regulate emotions, and build the brain-body readiness needed to thrive academically and socially.
At the heart of Sound Learning is the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)—a gentle, music-based intervention that uses filtered sound to support emotional regulation, attention, and learning readiness. When the nervous system feels safe and steady, the brain becomes more open to learning, listening, and growth.
We begin with a foundational in-person session with you and your child, to introduce you to the SSP in a supportive, therapeutic environment. After that, you continue the program at home with the remote SSP access, the therapeutic interventions we designed for your child, and our support through 11 optional parent support sessions at no additional charge. You providing this intervention at home allows your child’s nervous system to regulate in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
The 11 optional free parent support sessions will be with our skilled Occupational and Speech Therapists, who will guide you in integrating strategies that help your child transfer calm into focus, and focus into learning. We strongly encourage your child to be present in these sessions so we can fully support your ability to utilize the strategies at home and recognize your child’s subtle signals of dysregulation. These sessions can be virtual, in-person, or can be asynchronous emails — designed to fit your schedule and support your child’s success.
Sound Learning builds the foundation your child needs to grow—not just emotionally, but academically. When regulation comes first, real learning can finally follow.
Laser Light Therapy
If your child struggles with focus, emotional regulation, sensory challenges, or learning delays, this therapy offers a powerful starting point for change.
Through the gentle and effective QRI Laser, we target retained reflexes that often interfere with a child’s ability to learn and self-regulate.
Not only will your child receive individualized support during the session, but you’ll also take home your own laser – the same therapeutic tool we use in the session – along with an online training program to continue promoting growth and calm at home. It’s a smart, science-backed way to build stronger neurological foundations for learning and daily life.
Continued support through a consistent therapy schedule will accelerate the progress, and reduce the guesswork surrounding how to recognize the changes in your child’s brain and what next steps to take.
When reflexes are integrated, the nervous system can finally focus—paving the way for emotional balance, attention, and real academic progress.
