We take a holistic approach, creating a child-led therapy experience while empowering you with the skills to continue support at home.
We’re here to help you and your child, one bite at a time.
Feeding Therapy
We identify and address the root causes of the feeding difficulties your little one is having. We work on creating a positive relationship with food and ensuring every child grows up healthy and strong. Our approach goes beyond the plate, focusing on both the physical and emotional aspects of eating for a holistic and effective experience.
Oral Motor Therapy
Boost your child's eating skills with oral motor therapy—a specialized workout for the muscles in their mouth. Just like hitting the gym for physical strength, this therapy focuses on making these muscles stronger and improving coordination.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized treatment that focuses on improving the oral function for children who struggle with thumb sucking, tongue thrust, jaw pain, open mouth breathing & MORE!
Meet Your Feeding Therapist
Tiffany Zilberman, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
I'm Tiffany Zilberman, the heart and soul behind Little Eaters, LLC. I'm a dedicated speech language pathologist passionate about making a positive impact on the feeding journeys of little ones based out of the Ft. Lauderdale & Hollywood, Florida area.
My journey began in 2018 having graduated with an M.S. from Katz School of Yeshiva University working with individuals aged across the life span. Over time, my passion pulled me towards pediatrics. After becoming a mama to a toddler and twins, I understand first hand the joys and challenges of nurturing children through their feeding milestones. I give my empathy as a fellow parent alongside my countless hours dedicated in specialized trainings in the field of pediatric feeding disorders and orofacial myofunctional disorders.
I continue to always develop my skills through specialized training in feeding therapy and tongue tie treatment, having completed programs such as Feed The Peds®, TOTS (Tethered Oral Tissues) Training®, and Feeding Therapy: A Sensory-Motor Approach™. I am currently in the process of completing the Myo Method® and working towards my CMT™ (Certified Myofunctional Therapist).
At Little Eaters, the goal is to provide individualized feeding therapy through a holisitc lense that acknowledges the emotional and developmental dimensions of feeding. We work on getting to the root cause of the challenge, guiding children to flourish, and helping parents gain confidence, one bite at a time.
“Empowering children to explore and embrace new foods isn't just about nutrition; it's about fostering confidence and a sense of accomplishment that extends far beyond the dinner table.”
