About Holly E. Knotowicz

Holly Knotowicz, M.S., CCC-SLP is a certified speech language pathologist who specializes in the complex field of feeding assessment and therapy. She believes in supporting her patients and their family as a whole to make mealtimes efficient and fun.

Holly was the pioneer in providing feeding therapy virtually, seeing her first patients in 2015 via telehealth. She holds multiple state licenses and is well versed in Telehealth.

She is an international speaker and published author on feeding development and dysfunction including specialized treatment strategies in the areas of eosinophilic esophagitis, IgE mediated food allergies and FPIES.

The key to Holly’s approach is her, “no stress, decrease anxiety, making mealtimes fun” style. Her belief is that children need to feel safe and secure, and in order to earn their trust, families need to be at mealtimes together. The right feeding support and fit to your family’s values is imperative to your child’s feeding success. Let her individualize a plan specific to your child’s needs.

Holly’s goals for each child are to:

 - Promote and build a positive and interactive foundation for mealtimes and relationships with foods

 - Understand and honor mealtimes from the perspective of the child and their family

 - Identify and create strategies for treatment specific to each family and their child’s needs

 - Help children master mealtimes by building their confidence and skills all while teaching them that mealtimes can be fun!

 - Support caregivers and their roles during mealtimes
