presentation
Introducing myself, I’m Céline Ruysschaert
Iam a speech therapist specializing in pre-speech therapy and OMFT. I coordinate my practice, which has four locations in West and East Flanders, working with both children and adults. In addition, I provide guidance to parents on
feeding, oral motor skills and language development
Expertise
Ik ben gespecialiseerd in
mondmotoriek, zuigen, slikken, kauwen en voeding bij baby’s en peuters. In mijn
werk en in mijn boek “De essentiële gids over mondmotoriek en voeding bij
baby’s en peuters” bied ik ouders en professionals praktische handvatten om
de eet- en drinkontwikkeling van jonge kinderen te ondersteunen. Door mijn
kennis en ervaring kan ik effectief begeleiden bij vaardigheden die voor veel
kinderen niet vanzelfsprekend zijn. Zoals ik zelf zeg:
"Veel ouders worstelen met
vragen rond eten en drinken. Niet omdat hun kind ‘moeilijk’ is, maar omdat elk
kind op zijn eigen tempo ontwikkelt. Met de juiste hulpmiddelen kan je
frustratie voorkomen en het leerproces ondersteunen."
My background
I trained as a speech therapist, specializing in pre-speech therapy and
OMFT. My focus is on supporting the early development of oral and language
skills, giving children a strong foundation for feeding, speaking and chewing.
My experience working with children and adults allows me to combine theory and
practice to provide parents and professionals with targeted guidance.
What I know best
I have extensive experience guiding parents, children, and healthcare
professionals in the development of oral motor skills and feeding. In my book,
I offer clear explanations, helpful charts and practical tips for every stage
of development, from sucking to chewing. I also frequently reference Difrax
products as tools that parents and professionals can use to support the
learning process and reduce frustration.
In addition to one-on-one guidance, I organize webinars and symposia for
parents and healthcare professionals, sharing my knowledge on oral motor
skills, feeding and developmental stimulation. These interactive sessions
provide practical tools and inspiration to help children thrive in their growth
and development.
