Simmons OTRL

Judith Simmons OTR/L is a pediatric occupational therapy and infant feeding consultation practice serving families in Redmond, Washington. Led by Judith Simmons, an occupational therapist and infant feeding specialist with more than 35 years of experience, the practice supports infants aged 0–6 months who experience challenges with feeding, eating, swallowing, or oral-motor skills. Its approach combines compassionate, individualized care with collaboration among families and the broader medical team.

Services begin with an intake form and a free 15-minute phone consultation, with the practice aiming to connect within 24 hours of receiving the form. A comprehensive, two-hour oral-motor feeding evaluation includes a medical history, developmental screening, and hands-on assessment of feeding function and swallowing safety. The evaluation may address breastfeeding and bottle-feeding strategies, positioning, nipple flow, oral support, feeding aversion, and oral-motor exercises. For breastfeeding families, a pre- and post-feed weight check may also be included. Follow-up care can involve a seven-day phone check-in, an in-person re-evaluation, or referrals to other professionals as needed.
