Feeding Therapy

Using a multidisciplinary feeding therapy evaluation, our trained therapists create a plan that meets each child’s individual needs.

Our non-invasive, supportive approach helps resolve feeding issues while incorporating parent education and home practice, which are a vital part of the treatment.

Feeding consultations and therapies are available for children of all ages.

Recognizing Feeding Problems in Children

A referral for feeding evaluation may be warranted if a child exhibits two or more of the following:

• Ongoing poor weight gain or weight loss
• Ongoing choking, gagging or coughing, vomiting during meals
• History of nasal or gastric reflux
• History of a traumatic choking incident
• Inability to make age-appropriate food transitions
• Aversion or avoidance of all foods in specific texture or food group
• Eats fewer than 20 different foods
• An infant who cries and/or arches at most meals
• Family mealtimes feel like battles
