Who This Mentoring Is For

This mentoring is designed for clinicians who support infants and children with feeding challenges and want to strengthen their clinical reasoning, confidence, and decision-making.

Clinician mentoring may be helpful if you are:

  • A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) working with pediatric feeding cases

  • An early-career clinician building confidence in feeding assessment and treatment

  • An experienced clinician seeking consultation on complex feeding presentations

  • A therapist supporting infants, toddlers, or school-age children with feeding challenges

  • A clinician looking for guidance on when to treat, when to pause, and when to refer

Mentoring is tailored to your experience level, practice setting, and professional goals.

A Consultative, Supportive Approach

This mentoring is collaborative and not evaluative or supervisory.

The goal is to support your clinical thinking, not to tell you what to do. Sessions are designed to:

  • Create space for thoughtful discussion and reflection

  • Explore multiple clinical perspectives

  • Strengthen your ability to explain feeding challenges to families clearly

  • Help you feel more grounded and confident in your clinical decisions

Mentoring respects your professional autonomy and clinical judgment while offering guidance, insight, and support.

Mentoring Formats & Structure

Mentoring is offered in flexible formats to meet the needs of working clinicians.

Options may include:

  • One-time consultation sessions

  • Ongoing mentoring for continued support

  • Case-based discussion sessions

  • Review of clinical questions or feeding scenarios

Sessions are typically conducted virtually and scheduled based on availability. The structure and frequency are determined collaboratively based on your goals and needs.

Why Mentorship Matters in Pediatric Feeding

Pediatric feeding is complex. Many clinicians report feeling underprepared or uncertain when navigating feeding cases—especially when progress feels slow or unclear.

Mentorship provides:

  • Space to think through complex cases without pressure

  • Support in developing clinical confidence and clarity

  • Guidance in navigating uncertainty and nuance

  • A sounding board for decision-making and ethical considerations

Mentorship is not about having all the answers—it’s about building confidence in how you think through feeding challenges.

The best outcomes in pediatric feeding come from collaboration, knowledge, and confidence. When we support each other as clinicians, we strengthen our ability to make a meaningful impact on the children and families we serve.

  • [Argie] recently provided an in-service for speech therapists and occupational therapists at the company I work for to help the team understand orofacial myofunctional disorders in greater depth. Argie is knowledgeable. She knows how to explain information, and she provides tangible strategies and resources from clinical care to networking across interdisciplinary teams. We were so fortunate to have her speak, and I would highly recommend her services. Thank you so much, Argie!

Argie is an extremely approachable, knowledgeable, helpful, motivating, and all-around compassionate individual. Argie listens to your questions, answers with well-thought-out responses, and is committed to ensuring your understanding of every component of feeding development and therapy.
