Understanding Your Child's Speech and OT Needs
2026-05-19 19:30 - 20:30 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83536184400?pwd=[REDACTED]
Do you have concerns around your preemie’s developmental abilities and growth? Are you worried about their speech and communication?
Join us and our guest presenters, Annmarie Janes, licensed pediatric occupational therapist specializing in fine motor delays, and Drake Hastings , licensed pediatric speech-language pathologist specializing in feeding and speech, for Tiny Miracles’ next After the NICU Education Series. Both therapists maintain their own private practice and work with Birth to Three.
Purpose of this presentation will be to help parents recognize the signs that OT and/or speech may be needed.
Occupational Therapy
OT helps infants and toddlers develop their fine motor, cognitive, and processing skills which are all needed to complete tasks such as lifting their heads, sitting, and grasping toys. Skills needed to help your little miracle explore their world.
Speech Therapy
Infant speech therapy helps babies learn to feed properly and develop better communication skills.
