Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy is provided by either speech and language pathologists or occupational therapists who have additional training and certification in feeding therapy.

Feeding Therapy provides:

• A comprehensive evaluation including oral feeding and swallowing
• Training with families to help them understand their child’s feeding difficulties and learn necessary techniques to advance their child’s feeding skills
• The therapy necessary to progress in the ability to handle new foods, foods with different textures, chew, and drink from a cup
• Follow up visits as deemed appropriate by the treating therapist and family, with time allowed in between for the child and family to practice new skills and routines
• Support and learning opportunities for families to help their child eat as safely and efficiently as possible
