Personalized therapy to support eating, swallowing, and sensory challenges.

Feeding therapy addresses a variety of feeding and swallowing challenges that may arise from developmental, sensory, behavioral, or medical conditions. Through tailored strategies, hands-on practice, and a multidisciplinary approach, we work to improve your child’s ability to eat safely, expand their diet, and foster a positive relationship with food.

Challenges We Address With Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy can help children who experience:

• Picky Eating: Extreme food preferences or aversions.
• Oral Motor Challenges: Difficulty chewing, sucking, or swallowing.
• Sensory Sensitivities: Strong reactions to food textures, tastes, or smells.
• Medical Complications: Feeding tubes, reflux, or other conditions impacting mealtime.
• Behavioral Challenges: Refusal to eat or anxiety around meals.

If your child shows signs of struggling with feeding, our experienced therapists are here to help identify and address the root causes.
