Janine Segner, Speech Therapist, M.Ed., M.S., CCC-SLP

Expressive Speech and Feeding is a Reston / Herndon VA children’s speech therapy and feeding therapy private practice.

We help children, from birth to 18 years, speak clearly and cultivate human connection by better expressing their needs, personality and love. Oh, and we help them become less picky eaters too!

Janine has more than a decade of experience as a speech pathologist treating children across school, outpatient medical and private practice settings. She is fully vaccinated.

She is licensed in speech therapy in Maryland, Virginia and Texas; certified by ASHA and served as a lead teacher for children with emotional-behavior disabilities early in her career.

She has been trained in PECS (picture exchange communication system), PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets), the Beckman Oral Motor protocol, and the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) approach to feeding.
