Brave Wings Therapy

Specialty: Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Feeding Therapy, ABA Therapy

The therapists at Brave Wings Therapy believe that every child deserves the tools and confidence to breathe, eat, speak and grow into their fullest potential. The integrative, multidisciplinary pediatric practice provides speech, occupational and feeding therapy and autism services to support infants through young adults.

Unique and Innovative Treatment Plans

What makes the practice truly unique is its commitment to blending compassion with innovation. Brave Wings is one of the only clinics in the country offering ultrasound visual feedback, a groundbreaking technology that lets children “see” how their tongue moves in real time to make learning speech sounds and oral motor skills fun, engaging and effective—and helping kids make faster progress.

The therapists are also highly trained in specialized approaches. They hold certifications in SOS Feeding Therapy, PROMPT Therapy and Orofacial Myology, which focus on the building blocks of speech, feeding and oral function and allow the therapists to create treatment plans that are as unique as each child.

Therapy That’s Effective (and Fun!)

“We emphasize treating the whole child—supporting posture, airway, feeding and communication—while teaching families simple ways to help at home,” says Dr. Jennifer Moore, co-founder and speech and apraxia expert.

Therapy at Brave Wings isn’t just effective—it’s fun. The practice’s warm, inviting clinics feature therapy rooms filled with toys, games and sensory equipment, plus state-of-the-art gyms with swings, slides, a custom rock wall and a ball pit. “Children feel safe, motivated and excited to reach their goals,” says Naomi Sutton, cofounder and speech-feeding therapist.

Brave Wings is more than a clinic—it’s a community of therapists and families working together to help every child shine.
