What is an SLP?

Thanks for the info.

You might have him evaluated by an SLP and see what they think. There

may be some therapy that would help (either from an SLP or OT), if it is

an oral motor problem, or sensory problem, or whatever it is. Or, they may

have ideas on what sort of foods might work better for him. Lynne

Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Speech language pathologist. And SLP is who you would usually see

for speech therapy, but they also help with feeding and swallowing

issues.
