Jessica’s Speech & Feeding Therapy | Hoboken Pediatric Feeding & Speech Therapy
About My Practice:
If you are looking for a pediatric feeding therapist in Hoboken, Jessica Aleman, MSEd, CCC-SLP, provides expert, holistic, and evidence-based care right in the comfort of your home. At Jessica’s Speech and Feeding Therapy, the mission is to uncover the root cause of feeding and speech challenges rather than just treating the symptoms. Whether your infant is struggling with bottle feeding or your school-aged child needs support with articulation, Jessica provides a personalized path toward wellness.
Service Areas (In-Home, Daycare, & Virtual):
I provide specialized in-home and daycare-based therapy within a 2-mile radius of Hoboken, including:
- Hoboken: All neighborhoods.
- Jersey City: The Heights (East Side) and Newport.
- Weehawken: South Weehawken, Waterfront, and Port Imperial.
- Virtual Coaching: Available for families outside the immediate local area.
Specialized Feeding Therapy (Ages 1 Month – 8 Years):
- As a SOFFI® Certified therapist, I specialize in infant-guided feeding. My approach is perfect for parents seeking help with:
- Specialized Bottle Feeding: Support for infants with reflux, complex medical needs, or transitions.
- Starting Solids: Expert guidance for a smooth, stress-free transition to purees and finger foods.
- Tongue Tie (TOTs) Support: Comprehensive functional therapy pre- and post-frenectomy (tongue-tie release). I focus on oral rest posture and tongue function to ensure lasting results.
- Picky Eating & Oral-Motor Skills: Strategies for chewing, swallowing difficulties, and expanding food repertoires.
Speech and Language Therapy Using a holistic lens, I address the foundational connections between breathing, eating, and speaking. My speech services include:
- Motor Speech Disorders & Articulation: I am PROMPT-trained, utilizing a hands-on tactile-kinesthetic approach to help children physically find the right movements for clear speech.
- Language Delay & Late Talkers: Targeted support for meeting communication milestones.
- Oral-Motor Therapy: Addressing mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and high/narrow palates that impact speech and sleep.
The Holistic Difference: Why Choose Jessica?
Unlike traditional clinics, I look at your child’s entire well-being including how they sleep and breathe. If your child snores, grinds their teeth, or sleeps with an open mouth, these are signs that their airway and oral development need attention. I collaborate closely with a network of Hoboken and Jersey City-based ENTs, airway-focused dentists, and orthodontists to provide a 360-degree care plan.
Credentials & Qualifications:
- MSEd, CCC-SLP (Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA)
- SOFFI® Certified (Supporting Oral Feeding in Fragile Infants)
- PROMPT Trained (Tactile-kinesthetic speech therapy)
