Our concerns brought us to a speeth therapy practice where we were fortunate to meet and begin working with Jill. She was very knowledgeable from the beginning in identifying and understanding the challenges our son was facing when it came to eating.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of 6 &#8211; 8 months, with Jill&#8217;s guidance and the tools she provided, he was able to step by step transition entirely onto whole foods as well as use a sippy cup properly. With the challenges he was facing he would not have been able to transition on his own, but with Jill we received the help we needed in a fun and connected way!<\/p>\n<p>It was bittersweet when we graduated from needing her help, but we truly appreciate all of her guidance and her sweet personality along the way!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'    itemprop=\"name\" >Nichole<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
