Over the past decade, the need for feeding therapy has surged, with more children AND adults facing challenges related to eating, swallowing, and sensory aversions. At Speech Budds and Taste Budds, we recognize this growing need and have expanded our services to provide comprehensive, holistic care for every child with inclusivity.
We take a full-body approach from birth, pregnancy, delivery and milestones to get to the root of the problem, not just from the surface level. Our stellar services provide feeding, speech therapy, and myofunctional therapy to assess everything from tongue ties and chewing mechanics to swallowing difficulties and sensory sensitivities. Our goal is not just to help children eat but to ensure they experience food; building confidence, expanding diets, and fostering a lifelong healthy relationship with eating at home and in the community.
At Speech Budds and Taste Budds, we are more than therapy… we are partners in your journey. Let’s chat and eat! Contact us today to begin.
Lauren is the absolute BEST!!
As a surgeon who deals with the laser surgical treatment of infants through adults with tethered oral tissues (tongue ties, lip ties, etc) I trust Lauren to be my guiding light!
Lauren encompasses everything we look for in a healthcare professional, she lives and breathes her patients. Lauren is one of those human beings that has limitless bounds when it comes to making sure that her patients and their families achieve success. Whether it’s an infant, child, adolescent or adult, from soup to nuts Lauren will go above and beyond what is ever expected to make sure that they will thrive under her care. Success is the only way forward for Lauren’s patients. One example is how she is present during her patient’s surgical appointments with me, not only being there to support her families but to also help guide the functional aspects of the surgical procedures I perform so that we may be able to achieve optimal results as a team. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. She is clearly the Best of the Best of the Best!!! I am honored to have Lauren as my colleague.

YEARS of feeding therapy and no progress. Until I finally found someone that understands my son and his feeding issues. Lauren Budd of As Burgers Go Inc. is the ABSOLUTE best!!! Jake made more progress in the first 20mins of feeding therapy than he has ever made in the many years of feeding therapy at other places. I highly recommend Lauren!!
If anyone has a child with picky eating or ARFID I highly recommend Lauren Budd. My son is almost 6, only 36 pounds and literally only has 3 safe foods. He has a ton of issues with food, from anxiety, sensory, and some medical issues on top of that. All of that makes eating a massive problem. I’ve been hesitant to try feeding therapy since I’ve never read or talked to anyone with a feeding therapy success story about a child who is legitimately afraid of food, but after our first session, my son ate 4 new foods!! He gave a lot of push back and resistance at first, but Lauren was able to deescalate his meltdown in about 30 seconds which no therapist has ever been able to do before I know eating is a problem for a lot of us, so if your child is like mine, highly recommend!
My son is 8 and has been having trouble with eating since 6 months. Thank you Lauren Budd for working with him the last 4 weeks to tolerate and play with food and textures he never has. We appreciate you greatly.
When my grandson was born he had a tough time latching on while trying to nurse and actually lost a few ounces which is a lot for a newborn. The nurses tried to show my daughter how to have him latch on and so did her doctor. Neither helped. My daughter was beside herself. It wasn’t until Lauren Budd met my daughter a few days later and showed her the proper nursing technique. From that day forward my grandson became an adorable little chub and nursed until he was 2! Thank you Lauren! No one better to help with feeding issues
