With a robust clinical background, Kyarra specializes in pediatric speech and feeding disorders. She has a passion for helping breastfeeding mommas as well as infants and children who experience eating and/or drinking difficulties, poor weight gain, delays in communication, decreased cognition, and sensory challenges. Her years of experience are hilighted by her work at a pediatric hospital aiding children with medical complexities (e.g., bronchopulmonary dysplasia, genetic disorders, traumatic brain injury, prematurity, stroke). With Kyarra’s ability to facilitate speaking valve trials, she has played an integral role in many lives, successfully helping children work towards decannulation and feeding tube removal.
