Feeding Therapy
The feeding program works with children between infancy and 18 years old. We provide evidence-based feeding intervention that will teach improved oral motor abilities and reduce problematic behaviors during mealtimes. Goals targeted in this program often focus on efficient oral motor skill acquisition, reduction in hypersensitive gag reflex, improved cooperation with eating, and increased diet repertoire. We will focus on family-centered goals and provide interdisciplinary care throughout your child's intervention.
