About Holly E. Knotowicz

Holly Knotowicz, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 16 years of clinical experience specializing in feeding, swallowing, and neurogenic communication disorders across the lifespan—from pediatrics through adult and geriatric care.

Holly earned her Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Nazareth College and has developed particular expertise in complex feeding and dysphagia. Her clinical interests include pediatric feeding disorders, oral-motor and oral-sensory feeding challenges, mealtime dynamics, dysphagia, and the intersection of gastrointestinal, allergic, and feeding disorders.

She has a particular passion for supporting individuals and families affected by eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs), including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), as well as food allergies and Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). Her work emphasizes collaborative, individualized care that considers not only feeding and swallowing function, but also the medical, sensory, behavioral, and psychosocial factors that influence eating.

Holly also specializes in the evaluation and treatment of adults and older adults with neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders. Her areas of expertise include Parkinson’s disease, including LSVT-based voice treatment and dysphagia management; post-stroke speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing rehabilitation; and communication and cognitive support following concussion and other neurologic conditions.

In addition to her clinical work, Holly is a podcast co-host for the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED), an international speaker on feeding and swallowing, an active participant in research, and a published contributor to Gastroenterology. She is passionate about advancing education and awareness surrounding feeding and swallowing disorders and improving access to specialized, evidence-informed care.

Throughout her career, Holly has remained especially committed to helping patients maintain the everyday functions that profoundly affect quality of life—the ability to eat safely, communicate effectively, participate in meaningful relationships, and remain as independent as possible.
