  • Has your doctor told you that your child has “failure to thrive”?

  • Is your child a picky eater?

  • Does he or she frequently gag or choke when eating?

  • Is he or she having difficulty transitioning to solids?

It’s not your fault—nor is it likely to be a behavioral issue on your child’s part. These feeding issues are often the result of sensory motor dysfunction and potential structural issues (such as tongue tie and high palate), and can be treated with the appropriate intervention.

With 20+ years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, 10 prior years in education, extensive experience as a clinical supervisor, and a degree in Educational Leadership, Dina offers expert-led live trainings for therapistsseeking deeper clinical understanding and meaningful, real-world application.

Dina provides live, interactive myofunctional and airway-focused trainings for speech-language pathologists and allied professionals working with children and adults who are not making progress with traditional therapy approaches.

Her trainings emphasize root-cause evaluation, airway health, and orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT)—helping therapists connect oral function, breathing, sleep, posture, and speech in a clear, clinically relevant way.
