HMS & Associates
Heidi Miller, MS, CCC-SLP, COM
Health Services
What inspired you to start your business?
A true passion for what I was doing and the belief I could make a difference in the lives of children as a therapist. My private speech clinic came first and the other companies followed. I have three businesses in total: HMS & Associates, HMS Feeding, and Callspots.
What do you love most about what you do?
Giving children the power to communicate and the challenge of helping children who are fearful of eating overcome that and celebrate the joy of eating.
What are your businesses best known for?
HMS & Associates helps children and teens with feeding problems, childhood apraxia of speech, and treating everything speech and language related. HMS Feeding educates other speech therapists and occupational therapists on how to treat picky eaters and children with ARFID. Callspots is a new product. It’s a programmable sticker that can be scanned by mobile phones to instantly call a parent, emergency contact, or the owner of a valued possession.
What’s next for each of your businesses?
HMS clinic continues to grow! So many children reach their potential and learn to talk and eat one session at a time. HMS Feeding recently got ASHA CEU’s which means clinicians can earn credit for taking the course. As for Callspots, that is in its infancy and is such an extraordinary product.
