I have been working with Madden Therapy Solutions for over three years now and have had an amazing experience. My son has a rare genetic disorder, which caused poor feeding/failure to thrive as well as various developmental delays. We first worked with founder Kristina Madden to support our son’s feeding. At age 3, he was still only eating purees, and Kristina had him eating solids in no time, which has been an absolute game changer for our family. When our son was preparing for Kindergarten, we also noticed he needed support with handwriting and addressing other sensory issues. We have been working with Amanda for over a year now, and she has been amazing. Amanda always takes time to explain the science behind her sessions and offers ways we can continue to improve on what he’s learning by implementing it in the home setting. Our son adores Amanda and looks forward to each session, which, if you’ve ever done pediatric therapy, know isn’t the case with all therapists. Thanks Madden Therapy Solutions … You have been an amazing resource for our family!

“I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. They were absolutely amazing. My son loved loved loved Miss Cara. She was sweet and patient and adapted her sessions with my son to align with his interests. Kristina, the owner was so wonderful and flexible with the schedule especially considering all of the craziness with covid. Unfortunately we moved and had to part ways but even after the move Kristina and Cara worked with us to do virtual sessions to help transition, sent all of my sons records right away and even recommended places in our area. Besides being such a pleasure to work with my son has made great strides in his speech and is now saying more with so much more confidence! I 100% recommend!”

“Taylor has been treating our son for about 2 months now, and it’s hard to even describe the strides he’s made! He’s struggled with feeding aversion and oral dysphagia for his whole life and we can see his life changing by the abilities he’s learning and the shift towards a positive association that he has with food and eating. He’s already picked up a few new foods and learning motor skills we haven’t seen before. I’m so proud of him and thankful for the Madden team!”

“Madden Therapy has been a lifesaver!! They’ve done so much for our son (and in turn our whole family) with the work they’ve put in to help our son gain the confidence and skills to try new foods. We found out, at age 7, he had a very severe tongue tie and, although highly functional, he was an EXTREMELY picky eater – there were only a few items he would eat! Meal planning was difficult, frustrating and often ended in tears (for my son and myself )!! The work that Ms Stephanie has done to help him identify ways to break down each component of a meal to where he’s comfortable trying it and sharing his thoughts on what he does and does not like about taste and texture have been just AMAZING!! The recent holidays were so enjoyable with him feeling comfortable to TRY everything and finding foods he LIKED and feeling a part of the festivities! Meal time is no longer painful and tearful – we can have discussions about what we do and don’t like and can give options where he’s comfortable making a choice that doesn’t cause tears! I can’t thank them enough!!! If you need help – don’t look any further!!! Madden Therapy has everything you need!!!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Madden Therapy Solutions and specifically SLP Andrea. My son only had the opportunity to have sessions with her for a little over two months before we relocated to a new state but made so many gains in a short time due to Andrea’s expertise. She quickly built rapport with him and quickly found ways to engage him in each session. Watching her and how she interacted with him each week gave me plenty of ideas for how to carry over what she was working on with him at home. She would always send us home with some things to focus and work on which kept us on target and making progress each week. We are really sad we won’t be able to continue with her as we moved to a new state but I’m confident I can help him continue to improve while we search for a new therapist who will be as caring and knowledgeable as Andrea.”

“I’m giving Kristina 5 stars only because I can’t give her six. Kristina has been working with my daughter Erica for about 2 years. I have watched Erica use her speech more to express herself. We had been seeing a different speech therapy group and the setup wasn’t conducive to getting Erica involved. She hated getting out of the car when we went to their office. Erica loves going to her appointments with Kristina. Most appointments are filled with laughter, speech and hugs. Thank you, Kristina, for all that you do for us.”

“I am so grateful for Kristina’s help with breastfeeding!! I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. I utilized her teletherapy for a virtual lactation consult and couldn’t be happier. My son was having issues with latching and feeding initially, and she set up a Zoom virtual consult to provide lactation support (which was especially helpful since we were quarantined at home with a newborn in the setting of COVID-19 and unable to access in person lactation services). We were struggling through every feed prior to the consult, and our baby was losing too much weight despite our very best efforts. She gave new, individualized, and unique tips/techniques to try, which ALL worked! He latched and fed perfectly during our consult and with every subsequent feed!!! I appreciated that she provided real-time personalized advice and tips during the consult. She is clearly extremely knowledgable about lactation and genuinely cares about her clients! She is a miracle worker, and I (as well as my now happy and chunky 5-week-old son) could not recommend her more!”

“We went to Kristina to help with our son’s ARFID issues. I had called a lot of other clinics and pro-grams in the Tampa area, and all had suggested therapy sessions with other eating disorders, not specifically focused on ARFID. Within 5 minutes of calling Kristina, it was obvious she understood the problem clearly in ways generic answering services at other programs couldn’t give insight on. Kristina had one of her therapists (Stephanie) meet with our son over the summer and the transition has been dramatic and welcome. She got through to our kid and the progress he’s made in a few short months is far greater than anything we’ve seen in the cumulative time of the last 10 years.”

“My daughter works with Taylor. I can’t say enough positive about Taylor. She is able to keep my seven year old daughter engaged for more than two hours at a time and my daughter is excited to come back again the next time! Taylor is so enthusiastic and encouraging that my daughter is excited to work hard to please her. If my little one has an off day Taylor is able to modify her routine and still do productive speech exercises. Over the last few months my daughter has begun chaining words together and her speech has gotten much clearer and more understandable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Taylor or Madden Therapy!”

“Christy provided invaluable advice regarding sleep for my little guy! I was getting lost in the google world and she was able to provide direct, clear solutions while remaining flexible with sleep schedules. She is knowledgeable and encouraging. Her advice gave me hope for a clear path forward. I would absolutely recommend her for all those tired parents out there!”
