BIOGRAPHY: ABOUT ALLIE
Allie Glazer, M.S. CCC-SLP/L holds a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Loyola University Maryland, and has been a practicing SLP since 2012. She has worked across the lifespan in school, medical, and home health settings. Founder of alliemslp Speech Therapy Group, Inc., she provides in-home /virtual speech and feeding therapy on the San Francisco Bay peninsula through a strengths- and routines-based lens. EI is her passion population, and championing tiny humans and their grown ups is her favorite part of the job. Her dysphagia and feeding interest started in adult medical speech pathology, and branched out to Early Intervention during her first job where she learned she could combine her love of babies with her love of snack time.

Feeding Foundations for all Early Intervention Professionals: Supporting the Family Mealtime
Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) affects more than 1 in 37 American children under the age of 5, making it as or more prevalent than well-known conditions such as Autism and cerebral palsy. As early interventionists, you are often the first line of defense in supporting holistic development and caregiver-child relationships, and may field burning questions about mealtimes like “how much should my child be eating/drinking?”. Because 70-89% of children with developmental delays experience feeding difficulties, you’ve likely experienced PFD, even if you didn’t have a name for it.
