Our Philosophy

Potomac Feeding and Speech believes the best way to tap into a child’s innate curiosity and motivation is through child-led, play-based interactions. By letting the child guide activities through play, it helps foster language development, social interactions, and even feeding skills. This approach allows children to practice their skills organically, resulting in effective and meaningful progress.
