We reach families across 6 states with virtual teletherapy services, including Arizona, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, and Tennessee (in-person therapy is available upon request; please contact us for more information). Let us show you just how fun, convenient, and effective online therapy can be for your child!

EVALUATION & THERAPY SERVICES For Feeding, Speech, & Myofunctional Disorders

Recognizing parents and caregivers play a vital role in every client’s therapy journey, we take a collaborative approach to therapy. Whether we meet in person or online, caregivers are involved in our sessions with dedicated time for coaching and questions.

FEEDING THERAPY

TOTs • Talktools • SOS Approach to Feeding • Pediatric Dysphagia Management

Feeding therapy makes mealtimes enjoyable for the whole family. Your child will explore new foods, build their oral skills, and learn to swallow safely during fun and encouraging therapy activities.

You don’t have to do this alone. We will join you at the family table and make progress together through tiny, achievable steps!

SPEECH & oral motor THERAPY

PROMPT • DTTC • ReST • Kaufman Apraxia Approach

Whether your child is hard to understand or struggles to make any sounds at all, we can help! Speech therapy will focus on helping them say what they want to say, use accurate speech sounds, and communicate with less frustration.

We specialize in treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and articulation disorders through dynamic and personalized activities.

MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY

PROMPT • Talktools • TOTs • SOS Approach to Feeding

Myofunctional therapy optimizes the movement patterns of your child’s face and mouth muscles, resulting in better breathing, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and speech sound production.

We work alongside parents and other medical professionals to achieve our goals and use music, games, and toys to keep myofunctional therapy sessions motivating!

PARENT COACHING & Professional Trainings

At Jabbermouths Therapy, we recognize that YOU are your child's most important teacher. Parent coaching sessions provide you with hands-on training and practical tools to help your child overcome communication barriers, mealtime struggles, or feeding challenges during your daily routines. Consultations, presentations, and training programs are also available to other professionals who wish to further their knowledge in pediatric feeding, swallowing, or orofacial myofunctional treatment. Contact Jenn to further discuss your needs.

Jennifer Buck, M.A., CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

Jenn is a compassionate and energetic speech therapist with over 17 years of experience supporting children with complex needs, from birth through young adulthood. She has gathered a wide range of clinical skills from her time in pediatric hospital settings (inpatient and NICU), Talktools travel clinics, and private practice.

As a niece to an uncle with cerebral palsy and a big sister to a sibling with Down syndrome, Jenn’s passion for supporting families is both personal and professional.

Jenn is committed to helping families achieve their communication and feeding goals, no matter how many obstacles they face. She finds ways to help every child succeed, even in the most challenging situations— showing her clients that nothing is “too big” or “too hard” through small, achievable steps.

Outside of work, Jenn loves to test her own limits by completing ironman triathlons, marathons, and long distance outrigger canoe races! She enjoys playing in the ocean with her husband and two young children, and often volunteers with Make A Wish and Special Olympics.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

  • The work YOU do and YOUR approach are what allow us to have experiences like this one. They are priceless!!!

    “This is one of those moments that we’ve wondered if we would ever see, so it is very special. Pete and I cannot stop smiling listening to Isaiah play with his friends. His goal was to be able to play video games and be understood without bullying. It is happening, FINALLY. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for what you’ve done to help with his progress. The work YOU do and YOUR approach are what allow us to have experiences like this one. They are priceless!!! “

    ~ Samantha M, Iowa

  • Working with Jenn was a wonderful experience

    “Working with Jenn was a wonderful experience. Our daughter is extremely shy, but she took to Jenn immediately. It is obvious that Jenn loves children and her career. Thank you for your expert advice and helping us make a plan that feels achievable.“

    ~ Beth S, Tennessee

  • Your support and small steps are making such a difference

    “Jenn, I appreciate your human touch. It is common for providers to think of kids just as "patients" or "clients", but it is individuals like you that make such a difference. Our journey has been hard with so many therapists unable to help us, saying our goals were too hard or not possible. Your support and small steps are making such a difference. It has been a true pleasure working with you.”

    ~ Meghan B. Arizona

  • Jenn was wonderful at showing us what to do and how to do it

    “This is the most helpful therapy session I have ever received on how to help my son. Jenn was wonderful at showing us what to do and how to do it. My therapist and I were very impressed. This clinic was very helpful to pinpoint areas my son needs to work on. I finally feel like I know what to do to help him. Our therapists are excited about learning this new information and are already seeing results.”

    ~ M. Elliot, California
