I'm guessing that they are blaming breastfeeding for the child's unwillingness to engage, rather than breastfeed at all.  I get it.  Two of mine were in speech.  After the *first* session, it was obvious that my little one would prefer to breastfeed and not engage when things became difficult.  (of course he would!)  But, for therapy to be effective, I chose to *not* breastfeed during specific therapy time.   Maybe the mom can find a middle ground...just don't breastfeed *during* therapy.
