Introduction

Donna has been a pediatric speech and feeding therapist for the past 25 years, specializing in Pediatric Feeding for ages 0-5 yrs, but has experience with children of all ages, and motor speech/articulation issues ages 2 and up! She has a medically based background, and works with patients with: aspiration risk, transition from tube feeds to oral feeds, extremely “picky” eating, inability to chew or tolerate different textures, and Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD). She uses a fun, musical and child led approach, and includes parents in the treatment session. Donna respects cultural and dietary food choices unique to each family. She provides feeding therapy services in your home, in the following areas: Pacifica, Daly City, San Francisco in the Sunset district and Excelsior district. The majority of Donna’s appointments are between 9:15-1:00 pm, although there are a few spots in the afternoon before 5:00 pm. Please contact Donna via email. Please include a description of your child’s diagnosis specific to speech or feeding, and where you are requesting services. If you are in her service area, please include your address or street with zip code. If you are looking for online services, please specify this.

Once confirmed, Donna will provide a 15 minute phone consultation, to see if her skills and therapeutic philosophy are a match for your family.
