I'm looking for Speech and Occupational therapist for my 3.5yr old, around the North Brunswick area. Can anyone recommend? Thanks!

We did OT through Children's Specialized outpatient center in New Brunswick. Also, NJPFA offers speech and OT (as well as feeding therapy): http://www.njpfa.com/ (my younger son saw an SLP there for PROMPT therapy for a little bit)
From Shoshana Chanales:
Does anyone have recommendations for a good feeding therapist in Northern New Jersey? (For my 11 month old son who has a g-tube because of aspiration) Thanks!

NJ pediatric feeding associates in East Brunswick. nJPFA.com Nancy Calamusa is outstanding. She practices true feeding therapy. It has been a game changer for our 11 month old son. We travel about 40 minutes to see her without hesitation, she is that good. she is a true expert on feeding issues as well as an advocate for kids. if you have any questions, please message me. also, let her know she was recommended.

Shoshana--- i 2 nd New Jersey Pediatric Feeding Association... www.njpfa.com... PLEASE DO NOT go to Children's Specialized... The therapists were inexperienced treating pediatric patients for dysphagia & feeding issues!!! I'll be happy to answer any questions... My 11 month old has dysphagia & risk of aspiration but bc of Njpfa he's overcome lots of odds
