Dr. Amanda Graves,
SLPD, CCC-SLP, CLC

Dr. Graves is a Speech-Language Pathologist that works in Lubbock, Texas. She completed an advanced degree program and received a clinical Doctorate of Speech Language Pathology with a focus on Pediatric Feeding Disorder in Infants. She has over 18 years of experience in pediatrics with the more than 15 years specifically in pediatric feeding. She is a certified lactation counselor and has completed courses in myofascial release, craniosacral, and orofacial and myofunctional therapy. Providing quality education for pediatric feeding, specifically to therapists with limited access to mentoring support, became her passion after moving from a large urban area to a geographically isolated area of Texas. Seeing the difference in the care that her own premature daughter received and the lack of learning opportunities, led her to begin helping her community by providing education and mentorship to therapists that lacked this support. Dr. Graves serves as a volunteer for Feeding Matters (www.FeedingMatters.org) as a part of the Medical Education Task Force as well as on the TSHA Webinar Series Committee.

When not mentoring or providing education, Dr. Graves can be found providing support to children and caregivers that are faced with difficult situations such as prematurity or medically complex infants and those that are navigating post-frenectomy care. Her understanding of individualized care and her depth of knowledge, provides caregivers with many potential options and resources so they can make their own informed decision that are right for them and their little one without judgement!
