Whether you’re a Speech-Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist or Physical Therapist dreaming of becoming a Pediatric Feeding Therapist…
you already know one thing:
You want to make a real impact for the children who need you most.
Feed The Peds® gives you the in-depth training, assessment skills, and mentorship you have been missing so you can grow your clinical confidence, expand your caseload, and become the competent pediatric feeding therapist you set out to be.
You have always been capable.
You are already changing lives in schools, hospitals, clinics, and private practices.
But when a child presents with feeding challenges, everything shifts.
But when you were faced with a patient who has feeding issues, you'd freeze.
“What if something goes wrong and they choke?”
“What if I accidentally trigger a feeding aversion?”
“What if this is just beyond the education I have?”
Factor in the fear of working with children under 3 years old and most people are ready to book their patients a one-way ticket to Referral City.
Good-bye, patient!
Good-bye, family!
Good-bye, impact!
And good-bye new opportunity!
Ugh. I hate to see it, but I totally get it.
No one taught you pediatric feeding.
SLP graduate programs provide under 1 percent of coursework in pediatric feeding and swallowing.
You were trained to work with adults.
You were not trained to evaluate and treat the children who need help the most.
Workshops rarely address infants and toddlers.
Comprehensive pediatric feeding training has been almost impossible to find.
You are left searching for answers, piecing information together, and hoping you do not miss something important.
All of this happens before you even begin building a treatment plan or feeling confident in your assessment.
**You were not the problem.
Your training was incomplete.**
Feed The Peds® fills that gap with the structure and mentorship you have been looking for.
Here's what past Feed The Peds® students have to say!
Hear from a school based SLP on how Feed The Peds® changed her entire caseload.
"Fast forward...all I do is feeding!"
Hear from a graduate who created a Pediatric Department.
"Feed The Peds® changed my life professionally and personally!"
Imagine feeling fully prepared for every pediatric feeding and swallowing case that comes your way.
Wouldn’t it be great if…
- You knew exactly what to look for during assessments and understood what each finding meant
- You felt confident creating realistic goals and helping children make measurable progress
- You became the go-to clinician that other therapists and pediatricians refer their patients to
- You grew your client list and helped even more children and families thrive
- You stopped leaving money and opportunity on the table and stepped into the income level your expertise deserves
This is what becomes possible when you stop guessing and start knowing.
This is the future you step into when you finally receive training built specifically for pediatric feeding and swallowing.
All you need is Feed the Peds®:
The Foundations of Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing!
A comprehensive 12-module course to becoming a Pediatric Feeding Therapist.
We’ll be focusing on the foundational development of children from birth through 3 years old, but this training will apply to older patients too! Sounds great, right?

For years, the only way to get real pediatric feeding training was to travel from workshop to workshop.
You already know how it used to be.
If you wanted comprehensive education in early pediatric feeding, you had to chase down seminars all over the country and hope they covered what you needed.
Then you were left trying to piece everything together on your own.
And while those instructors were incredible and the content was valuable, the cost was even higher.
- Plane tickets
- Rental cars
- Hotel rooms
- Meals on the road
- Time away from patients
- Time away from family
It all added up fast.
Sometimes the travel cost more than the training itself.
And that does not even include the income you lost taking days off work or the stress of leaving kids, partners, or pets behind.
Feed The Peds® was created to change all of that.
The biggest thing I learned
There are not enough Pediatric Feeding Therapists to help the children who need support today.
I saw it everywhere:
-
Too many children needing feeding support
-
Too few clinicians trained to treat them
-
Too many therapists wanting to help but lacking real training
-
Too many families waiting far too long for care
I knew something had to change.
So I created Feed The Peds® and The ELEVATION Movement to give SLPs, OTs and PTs the identity, skill set and confidence they need to stop dreaming and finally become competent Pediatric Feeding Therapists.
Feed The Peds® combines digital hands-on learning, structured mentorship and a first-of-its-kind training approach that is transforming our industry.
It takes more than another course to become a Pediatric Feeding Therapist.
A lot of SLPs and OTs think that if they just had another course or the “right” course they could treat feeding patients.
But so many of these therapists took courses and still dreamed of being confident calling themselves a Pediatric Feeding Therapist.
That’s why I created The ELEVATION Movement, which you’ll experience in action inside Feed the Peds®.
The ELEVATION Movement is about bringing you a comprehensive approach to developing everything you need to stop dreaming and actually become a pediatric feeding therapist.
On my mission to help more children, I realized that there are three elements that are essential to take someone from SLP, OT or PT to a confident and competent feeding therapist…
The Framework
Three Pillars of Transformation
Identity
This is the foundation.
Before you can treat confidently, you must see yourself as the clinician who can.
Skill Set
Competence creates confidence.
You need a clear framework that shows you exactly what to look for, how to interpret your findings and how to treat safely and effectively.
Mentorship
Where knowledge becomes clinical judgment.
You need mentors who can guide your decisions, confirm your thinking and help you apply your skills correctly.
Without identity, you hesitate. Without skill set, you guess.
Without mentorship, you stay unsure.
And Here's the Part Most Clinicians Don't Realize…
You live by your commitment to do no harm. But holding yourself back can become its own kind of harm when families need help now.
Referring a child to far-away specialists with long waitlists can: Increase the family’s anxiety, delay the help the child needs, leave parents feeling confused or alone, and even cause worry with a simple local referral.
Families want answers.
They want support.
They want you.
Now Imagine This Instead…
You invest in your skill set. You adopt the identity of a Pediatric Feeding Therapist. You embrace mentorship inside Feed The Peds®.
And suddenly:
-
You know exactly what to do in session
-
You help families get support right away
-
You become the confident, competent therapist they’ve been searching for
Your caseload grows.
Your impact expands.
Your income follows.

unprecedented access to:
This course is approved for 4.05 ASHA & AOTA CEUs.
In other words, it’s everything you need to gain the mindset, confidence, and skills to begin taking on pediatric feeding and swallowing patients!
The Decision Is Yours...
You can decide to join Feed The Peds®, and become THE confident and competent therapist for children with feeding concerns…
...and start making a MUCH bigger impact and income by helping the most vulnerable (and least served) patients
OR
…you can keep doing the same ol’ thing and lose out on the opportunity to grow within your role as a therapist and reputation in the community...
Either way, remember: you’re protected by my 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee!
As a new grad with a passion for pediatric feeding and swallowing, I knew I wanted to continue my education in this area. Throughout grad school and my internships I learned several little important pieces in the pediatric feeding world, but this course gave me the comprehensive knowledge from utero and beyond I needed to be successful and knowledgeable in this area! This course has given me so many phenomenal resources, materials, mentorship, and great researched-based information. While this course was extremely dense, it was easy to work through with being able to do the videos on your own time (being able to start and stop when needed), and to have your questions answered when you didn’t totally understand something! I feel more confident in my feeding knowledge and abilities! As a new grad almost done with my CFY, I know I have the resources to continue to soar in my pediatric feeding therapist goals! Let me tell you, I’d take several more courses by these amazing, caring, knowledgeable SLP’s and OT’s! I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to become a pediatric feeding therapist or to continue your education in the pediatric feeding and swallowing area!

For an aspiring feeding therapy practitioner...
This 12-module course is designed for you if you're an SLP or OT dreaming of working with pediatric feeding and swallowing patients with a focus on the foundations of early development.
(And to be very honest, it is NOT designed for anyone else.)

Feed The Peds® Is An Investment In Yourself.
Have you ever purchased something that changed your life and allowed you to increase your skill set and confidence so you could better serve your patients before?
Your graduate degree perhaps. ;)
I get it, Feed The Peds® is a serious investment in yourself because it’s only for SLPs and OTs who are serious about making a bigger impact in the world.
This course was more than I had hoped! I have been out of grad school for too long to mention. I felt like I was starting from scratch. I learned so much more about early development. I didn't even receive this much information in my courses in grad school. I had no experience in identifying tethered oral tissues. I now feel fully confident in assessment and how to refer if I feel it is needed. Not to mention the importance of pre and post op care. I have gained knowledge and confidence in talking to parents about what I see in their child's feeding development, skills and treatment. I am more knowledgeable regarding orofacial myology and the effect on feeding and speech. I am even considering certification! I just can't say enough about this course. So much is included- Live Q&A, case studies, forms, resources, research. I love the fact that I can go at my own pace and come back to the trainings when needed. Worth every penny!
Michelle Hendrick, MS, CCC-SLP
This course is comprehensive, so you don’t have to piece together a strategy to implement what you’ve learned into your business.
You get the assessment forms, screeners, intake forms and more so that you can immediately focus on treating patients and not let administrative tasks like creating documents hold you back.
And if making a bigger impact in the lives of children and their families isn’t already enough, then consider that as a Pediatric Feeding Therapist you’ll be able to charge more for your services, attract more patients, and refer out less patients, making your investment back quickly with a great rate of return over the course of your career.
Ask yourself; Where will I be 12 months from now if I don’t invest a bit of time and money into Pediatric Feeding Therapist training now?
You might think that 12 months from now you’ll be in the same place you are today, but that’s not true...
You’ll be 12 months further behind with your confidence and skills, with a reputation of referring patients out instead of being able to treat them and you might find yourself developing an ever growing longing to have more impact and even more stories about how you don’t know enough and aren’t competent enough, yet.
And where will your patients be? Sitting on waiting lists for some other therapist, traveling long distances for treatment and worried about their ability to get the help they need?
And let’s not forget that even with the best intentions, sometimes a referral makes parents more stressed and worried about what’s happening with their children.
Or ...
12 months from now you could have completed this course, and spent 9 months serving the patients that need you most, and started to build a reputation as the therapist who is highly competent and that patients and other professionals refer to.
So you can choose to say in doubt or you can decide to step up, get this career changing training and have a bigger impact on the patients who need you most.

As a 20+ year veteran in the field of Speech Language Pathology, I am moving from mostly school-based services to private practice. I felt that refreshing my skills in infant feeding evaluation and therapy would be important for this new venture. I am so thankful that Hallie popped up in my Facebook feed. After doing the screener training and the first few weeks of the "Feed the Peds" class, I was able to utilize some skills that supported the kids and families I already had on my caseload. I was able to discuss physical supports, straw vs. sippy cup, and child-lead feeding progression. It has also opened my eyes to see how all of a child's systems are connected and how the airway is the center and the most important. This training is so packed with information, I am thankful I will be able to access it for reference forever!
Megan C. Mauch, MS, CCC-SLP
“Hallie provides informative and interactive trainings in a relaxed and welcoming environment. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to her trainings, and incorporates videos and examples of real-life clients. She provides step-by-step processes for evaluation and treatment, as well as relevant handouts for reference. I highly recommend her trainings to anyone who is looking to gain confidence in treating feeding or orofacial myofunctional disorders.”
Lauren Polovoy, MA, CCC-SLP
Allison gained the confidence to call herself a pediatric feeding therapist!
Kathleen, a new grad is implementing what she learned in her CF year!
Ginny shares how learning about TOTs and Myo is a game changer; "all the kids I couldn't make as much progress with all had Myo or TOTs issues."
Jennifer feels more confident. She loved testing her knowledge in the case studies and having the Zoom sessions afterward to ask questions and get clarity.
The best CEU course I have ever taken.
More comprehensive and helpful than any class I paid for in grad school to become an SLP! Extremely satisfied to have taken this course.
Sheelah Peterson M.S. CCC-SLP
Feed the Peds has been the best decision. During my CF, I had a caseload of patients with feeding and swallowing disorders and little knowledge in how to effectively treat them. My hope for joining FTP was to increase my toolbox of therapy ideas and treatment techniques for this population, which I learned plus so much more. The FTP team provided us with so many useful handouts, assessment and screening tools, etc. that I will be able to use throughout my career. The clinicians were all wonderful teachers who generously provided all of their expertise when working with this population. I feel better equipped, confident, and competent to assess and treat the pediatric feeding population. I would recommend this to anyone interested!
It is hands down a must take course that will change your life and practice! You will not regret enrolling!
Morgan Mackley, M.A. CCC-SLP
Feed the Peds has been amazing for me as a practicing Pediatric Early Intervention OT, who was always careful to advise parents that I could work on sensory processing difficulties and fine motor skills for mealtimes, but could not provide feeding therapy. I have found the training to be very comprehensive overall, and I LOVE the fact that I have lifetime access and can revisit any or all of the training information at any time as I start working as a feeding therapist. Unlike with a live course, I feel that I really benefit from being able to go back and review something I needed to think about, or didn't absorb the first time through. I love that I can now jump into working as a feeding therapist, with tools at my fingertips from Feed the Peds like screeners, assessment forms, intake forms and other resources. I have found Hallie and the other mentors to be so responsive and eager to use their experience to help, and that gives a real confidence boost!
Allison Johnson MS OTR/L
I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this course! I got my “Advanced Certification in Pediatric Dysphagia” and after going through 3 semesters of school and paying 18 credits worth of tuition, I still felt like I didn’t know where to start or what to do when it came to treatment. After completing the Feed the Peds course and having a wonderful mentor to help guide me along the way, I truly feel like a “feeding therapist” and can confidently go out and assess and treat my pediatric dysphagia students and educate my fellow co-workers and parents in this area. I loved how interactive this course was and I feel like I can apply everything I learned to my population of students. Also thank you to everyone for being so caring and supportive during our case studies calls. It was nice feeling comfortable asking any questions and not have to worry if it was a stupid question to ask or if it was something that a feeding therapist should already know. Thank you again for your time, kindness, and sharing all your knowledge with us and for making me feel confident as a pediatric feeding therapist. It was so greatly appreciated!

On whether the investment is worth it...
On whether Feed The Peds® will help you in a variety of settings (school; hospital, outpatient etc)...
I had very high expectations for this course, but it far exceeded my expectations. Ramya, Caitlin and Hallie are amazing speakers. The modules each week were FULL of new information. I am eager to go back and start studying my amazing notebook for ALL of this information to solidify in my brain and allow me to effectively use it in my treatment sessions. LOVED the course. Thank you to Feed the Peds for offering it!!
Deborah Jerome
On whether ALL of your questions get answered (yes, they do!)...
This has been an amazing course! I definitely feel more prepared to go out and start assessing and treating children with feeding challenges.
Melanie Regier MSc SLP, R.SLP, SLP (C)
This was a fantastic course! I feel that I will be ready when my first feeding client comes along now. I wish this course was offered in grad school since the information provided is a very pertinent to all kiddos!
Erika Goodman, M.S., CCC-SLP
Thank you for the time and effort that each of you put in to creating this course! I am finishing up my CF, and I am so thankful to have had access to this course early in my career.
Rachel Steele, M.A., CCC-SLP
Feed the Peds is an amazing experience! I had very little exposure to pediatric feeding disorders and pediatric dysphagia in grad school and this course really helped me grow in my confidence as a pediatric feeding therapist. Ramya, Caitlin, and Hallie are SO amazing and SO knowledgeable. Every module was clear and the case study calls really help solidify what we learn. It's worth EVERY PENNY!
Candice Surh, CF-SLP
Absolutely LOVED this course and it was worth every cent! I started with the free 5-day feeding screening and Hallie's knowledge and presentation style hooked me. All presenters were fabulous and so encouraging. Loved being able to ask questions as I completed the weekly content in the facebook group and then listening to the weekly case call for more! Also loved being able to complete the weekly content on my own time. The content was so thorough and presented in perfect timing! If you're on the fence, JUMP!! Feed the Peds is AWESOME!!!
Lisa Shallenburger, OTR/L
I took this course as an OT in a clinic where mostly SLP's performed the feeding. I now feel empowered that I can have a seat at the table and be able to reach more kids than before. I am so thankful to FTP for the confidence and the boost to further my training. Thank you to the FTP team for the very beneficial coursework and case studies.
Sarah Smith MS, OTR/L
I am obsessed with this course, it was the greatest thing I ever signed up for. I love the flexibility of doing it at my own pace because like most SLPs I have a crazy schedule. I love that I will continue to have access to all of the resources to review over and over again! Thanks FTP team
Alyssa Fisher M.S., CCC - SLP/ TSSLD
This course helped me learn how to work with a wide variety of pediatric patients and helped me gain confidence to assess and treat kids with feeding difficulties.
Melody White OTD, OTR
This course was thorough and the presenters made learning easy with lots of resources so I can feel more confident to help my kids with feeding disorders.
Alisa Schwegerl, CCC-SLP
Just one more thing…
If you’re still deciding that Feed The Peds® is right for you, try to imagine how much this course can help you make a bigger impact on the lives of the children you treat… and their families.
I know exactly how intimidating it can be to consider stepping up in your specialty and working with pediatric populations -- but I also know how rewarding it can be.
Imagine being able to spare children from the fate of feeding tubes and providing the possibility for countless happy and healthy family dinners. I have the absolute privilege of knowing that I’m making a difference every day, and you can, too.
A part of you feels a calling toward this work, otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this and deciding if enrolling in Feed The Peds® is right for you.
You may or may not know this, but right now there simply aren’t enough Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing Therapists to fill the growing need of children in this county and in the world.
It would mean the world to those children who need you (and to me) for you to join us on this journey to providing the best possible outcomes for their development.
If there are any questions that weren’t answered on this page or if you’re still on the fence about whether signing up now if right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to support@feedthepeds.com for extra guidance.
You’ll be glad you decided to step up and help children in your community.
That’s my promise to you.
