Welcome

I’m Rowan Bupp, CCC-SLP, the owner and Speech-Language Pathologist for Alphabet Soup Feeding & Speech Therapy. I started this practice, after working for several years as an outpatient pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Lactation Counselor for a local hospital. Although the hospital provided GREAT opportunities to learn and grow, I eventually found myself wanting to take more time with families to provide the one-on-one focused attention I knew I’d want. Thus was born Alphabet Soup Feeding & Speech Therapy!

Professional experience aside, I know what it’s like to have a child with complex medical needs. I have experienced, first hand, just how much a child’s relationship with food can impact the entire family. That is why, as a 40 year old mother of 2, I returned to college to earn my Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders and Sciences–a degree that includes feeding and swallowing evaluation and treatment. Along the way, I never lost my focus on children’s feeding and have spent many years pursuing continuing education and experience related to helping children eat.

Because many of the children who need feeding therapy have medically complex bodies, I’ve found my primary passion (support for pediatric feeding disorders) has led me to explore other ways to help. As such, I’ve expanded my focus to include support for children who require orofacial myofunctional therapy and those who need augmentative and alternative communication.

Within this website, you can find information about the services I have to offer your child and family. If you read though and find yourself with additional questions or wanting to schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to getting to know you.
