FEEDING THERAPY

​

Feeding therapy focuses on enhancing children’s pre-feeding skills, engagement in meals, and oral-motor skills for safe and effective eating. The goal of feeding therapy is to make mealtimes and food a fun and enjoyable experience for your entire family. Our Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists work individually and, on a team, to complete comprehensive evaluations and create individualized treatment goals to address the feeding and eating needs of all children. Although some children resolve “picky eating” on their own, if your child is presenting with several of the feeding difficulties below, a feeding evaluation may be beneficial.
