Mission
To provide expert, evidence-based care for infants with feeding and swallowing challenges. Through thorough evaluation, individualized treatment, and family partnership, we support healthy growth and development no matter how a baby feeds.
About the practice
Built to support infants, families, and the people caring for them.
Infant Feeding Associates of North Texas was created to give families clear, practical support rooted in strong clinical care. The practice is built around one idea: families deserve answers, direction, and support they can actually use.
Why this practice exists
Feeding challenges affect more than a single meal. They affect routines, confidence, and the day-to-day rhythm of family life. Parents often find themselves sorting through conflicting advice, uncertainty, and the weight of feeling like something isn't working.
This practice was built to meet families in that space — therapist-led care that's clear, grounded, and practical. The goal isn't more information to sort through. It's understanding what's happening, knowing what to do next, and feeling supported through the process.
- Clear recommendations families can understand and use
- Honest, practical plan of care
- Respect for family routines, limits, and real life
- Support that carries beyond the therapy room

Approach
Practical, therapist-led evaluation and treatment planning — so families understand what's happening and how to carry progress into everyday routines. Strong clinical reasoning in plain English.
Values
Clarity. Compassion. Strong clinical reasoning. Collaboration. Follow-through. These aren't marketing words — they're the standard we work to provide in every session.

How we work
Care that is clear, honest, and actually useful.
Good care means listening, looking at the full picture, and explaining what we're seeing in a way families can use. We focus on what's happening at home, what's realistic to carry over, and what kind of support will actually help.
When appropriate, care is collaborative. We work alongside pediatricians, lactation providers, and other specialists — so families have a team, not a pile of disconnected opinions.
The people behind the practice
Therapist-led care with a family-centered mindset.
Infant Feeding Associates of North Texas is led by Ally Gore, SLPD, CCC-SLP, CNT and Brittany Shockley (Rush), MS, CCC-SLP, CNT, CLC. Together they bring advanced clinical training, thoughtful care, and a strong commitment to helping families work through feeding challenges with more clarity and confidence.
Families often come to us wanting to know who's behind the care and whether they can trust the people guiding the process. That trust is built through strong clinical judgment, clear communication, and support that helps families feel seen and understood.
