EAT PLAY LEARN
FFamily Goals are Therapy Goals.
EAT PLAY LEARN is a private practice servicing children with communication and oral-motor/feeding difficulties. We use customized, multi-modal techniques tailored to accommodate your child's and family's needs and promote growth to match your child's greatest potential.
A fitted approach
If therapy does not relate to a child's personal needs and relationships, it does not serve its purpose. While therapy can be hard work, it should be enjoyable and a positive experience for the child and therapist. We tailor services and goals to target areas of need for the individual's success-not compared to the success of age-expected peers.
Meet Molly
Molly is a pediatric speech-language pathologist from Southern New Jersey. She graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and Master's of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Loyola University in Maryland in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
During Molly's time at Loyola University, she had the opportunity to complete her clinical externship at Kennedy Kreiger Children's Hospital where she worked closely with feeding specialists on an interdisciplinary team in the Pediatric Feeding Disorders Clinic. While studying, she gained knowledge and a unique skill set focused on helping children increase oral intake of foods, improve oral motor skills, and expand diets.
Upon graduation, Molly accepted a Clinical Fellowship position at Weisman Children’s Hospital, where she worked with children with communication disorders ranging in ages from birth to 21. She took a special interest in medically-fragile infants and toddlers, as part of the hospital's Medical Daycare Program, and concentrated on oral motor and feeding challenges related to feeding-tube dependency.
Over the course of her career, Molly has worked across many clinical settings, including home-based and center-based early childhood education programs. Molly also has experience supervising and training speech-language pathologists.
Molly holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence in speech-language pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is currently licensed to practice speech pathology in New Jersey. She lives in Collingswood with her husband, Mark, their son, Sebastian, and their Basset Hound, Lottie.
