Brave Wings Therapy Practice Owners
Dr. Jennifer Moore, EdD CCC-SLP, PC/I, COM
Jennifer Moore has a Doctoral degree in Speech-Language Pathology. Her specialty is pediatric muscle and motor-based speech disorders. Dr. Moore is a PROMPT Certified Instructor (PROMPT Therapy) and Certified Orofacial Myologist (IAOM). In addition to PROMPT, Jennifer has also completed training in various therapeutic techniques for infant feeding, reflex integration, and Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT).
Her approach is unique as it integrates principles of motor learning and effective components of motor speech intervention with the neurophysiological (sensory and motor) needs of each child. She works with her patients on developing and improving the connection between the oral-facial muscles and the neuromotor system.
Dr. Moore serves on the International Consortium of Ankylofrenula Education Committee (ICAP).
Jennifer holds national certification from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), licensure from New Jersey and New York, and certification from the NJ Department of Education.

Naomi is currently on track for certification as a Certified Orofacial Myologist. She has successfully remediated articulation errors consisting of “s,” “r,” and “l” sounds through various therapeutic techniques.
Naomi is certified in both the SOS Approach to Feeding and the AEIOU Feeding Program. Naomi has studied directly under Dr. Kay Toomey, the founder of the program, and has extensive knowledge on how to build food hierarchies, work on desensitization to food textures, flavors, and temperatures, and teach sensory-based problem solving skills for children who struggle transitioning from various food textures.
