Becky Birkenfeld, M.S. CCC-SLP

NY & NJ Licensed Speech and Feeding Therapist

My goal is to help children communicate with their families, one word at a time.

 

Receiving speech and feeding therapy should be easy! And children learn best in their home environments. That’s why I travel to your home, making therapy convenient and accessible. I help provide families with the language and feeding tools they need to help their children thrive!

“Becky gave our daughter an amazing head start! Her dedication and patience were exactly what she needed. She is now a thriving 7-year-old, and we owe it to Becky!”

— Amy H.

This is a 3D scan of my daughter at 28 weeks gestation. The technician happened to catch a picture of her yawning. Something at the time seemed off about it, and before I even extensively knew about tethered oral tissues, the thought of a tongue tie
A lot of times, parents tell me, “The pediatrician had her stick out her tongue, everything is fine, she doesn’t have a tongue tie!” However, tongue protrusion may not always be affected by a tie! So many pediatricians dismiss paren
