 Hi Hillary!We LOVED PIP for our daughter! The staff
 were very attentive and nice. The program is a great
 precursor to Pre-K and the kids do well with the
 structure. When my daugter was there it started with a
 tactile activity at a table, open play, music, then
 active play w/ PT while the parents met w/ a social
 worker for support group. It's a small group of about
 8-10 kids w/ 1:2 ratio almost. I also appreciated the
 specific rules/ policy about leaving your kid home when
 they're sick & then defines what "sick" means
 (discharge any other color than clear or white, fever,
 etc). You can msg me if you have more questions.

 My older daughter was a tongue thruster and my older
 twin boy was a tongue thruster. With my daughter we
 used a Haberman bottle/nipple (made by Medela) in
 conjunction with a specific way to hold her chin plus
 oral therapy w/ a Nuk brush. I highly recommend
 Marjorie Palmer, Speech Therapist & Feeding Specialist.
 For my son we're seeing a speech therapist through
 Kaiser& used a regular Dr. Brown bottle. His issues
 were more apparent when we started first foods. He is
 high functioning and only knew to ask fo an eval
 because we saw similarities to our daughter showing he
 has low tone in his mouth (dribbling when drinking from
 a bottle, continued tongue thrusting after a few months
 in to starting 1st foods, biting down on the spoon
 during feeds, & it would be hard to put the spoon in
 his mouth due to his tongue pushing & mouth closing to
 early). It was very slight. Have you had an oral eval
 w/ a Speech Pathologist/Therapist? This is a good place
 to start if you haven't yet. There are several possible
 scenarios that could be happening (even slightly) and
 an eval is good to have. Hope this helps. You can msg
 me if you have any questions about what we've done w/
 our kids.

 One other thing is she might just need a slow flow
 nipple (turn the bottle over and you shouldn't see
 leaking or very minimal leaking). She may be thrusting
 from just that alone. I found Born Free bottles w/
 stage 1 nipples to be very good. Also feed her with her
 sitting up on your lap
