Children’s Speech & Feeding Therapy

Children’s Speech & Feeding Therapy, located at 464 Hillside Avenue in Needham, Massachusetts, is a health institution founded in 2003 by Arden Hill and Marnie Millington. Specializing in communication and feeding disorders, we serve children in Needham, Newton, Metro West, greater Boston, and across New England. Our dedicated team of speech-language pathologists is committed to improving children’s skills and supporting families through training and education.

At Children’s Speech & Feeding Therapy, we provide speech, language, and feeding therapy for children from infancy to adolescence. Our sessions are one-on-one, lasting one hour with fifty minutes of direct therapy and ten minutes for training, questions, and feedback to parents/caregivers. We also offer group feeding therapy sessions for two to five children, lasting 90 minutes.

Our clinicians follow best practice guidelines from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and receive continued training and education. We are Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and Harvard Pilgrim providers. Our services encompass a wide range of disorders including specific language impairment, phonological disorder, speech and language delay, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, stuttering, dysarthria, voice disorder, pragmatic language deficits, tongue thrust, and residual articulation disorders.

In some cases, speech and language conditions may be related to primary diagnoses such as neurological damage, Down syndrome, and Autism. Feeding diagnoses include feeding difficulties and failure-to-thrive. We require all eligible patients to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to receive our services, with proof of vaccination for children 5 and over by Feb 1, 2022.
