Céline Ruysschaert

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Céline

I am a speech therapist, specializing in pre-speech therapy and OMFT therapy. I coordinate my practice with four branches in West and East Flanders, working with children and adults. Additionally, I offer parents guidance on nutrition, oral motor skills, and language development.

Expertise

I specialize in
oral motor skills, sucking, swallowing, chewing, and feeding in babies and toddlers. In my
work and in my book "The Essential Guide to Oral Motor Skills and Feeding in
Babies and Toddlers", I offer parents and professionals practical tools to
support the eating and drinking development of young children. My
knowledge and experience allow me to effectively guide skills that are not self-evident for many
children. As I say myself:

"Many parents struggle with
questions about eating and drinking. Not because their child is 'difficult', but because every
child develops at their own pace. With the right tools, you can
prevent frustration and support the learning process."

My background

I am trained as a speech therapist, with specializations in pre-speech therapy and OMFT therapy. My interest lies in supporting the early development of oral and language skills, so that children have a good foundation for feeding, speaking, and chewing. Through my practical experience with children and adults, I know how to combine theory and practice to provide targeted advice to parents and professionals.

This is what I know all about

I have extensive experience in guiding parents, children, and healthcare professionals in the development of oral motor skills and nutrition. In my book, I provide clear explanations, useful diagrams, and practical tips for every developmental stage, from sucking to chewing. Additionally, I regularly refer to Difrax products as tools that parents and professionals can use to support children's learning process and reduce frustrations.

In addition to individual guidance, I also organize webinars and symposiums for parents and healthcare professionals, where I share my knowledge about oral motor skills, nutrition, and developmental stimulation. These interactive sessions offer practical tools and inspiration to optimally support children in their growth and development.
