TABLESPOON TALK

Founded in 2024 by pediatric speech and feeding therapist Amanda Pluchino, Tablespoon Talk was created to bring families back to the table. Built on a passion for children’s health and wellness, Amanda focuses on turning mealtime into a space for connection, conversation and growth. As an in-home care service in Staten Island, New York, Tablespoon Talk incorporates speech and language support in a natural, family-centered environment. Every shared meal is a chance to nourish the body and heart- fostering healthy habits and deeper connections within families.

Amanda’s Philosophy

I believe that every child has the potential to thrive through compassionate and personalized care. My philosophy centers on nurturing each child's unique strengths and addresses their individual challenges with evidence-based techniques and support. I collaborate closely with families to create a positive, empowering environment where children can develop their communication and feeding skills, while fostering confidence and joy in every milestone achieved. By combining professional expertise with heartfelt dedication, I aim to support every child in reaching their fullest potential and leading a fulfilling, communicative life.
