Feeding therapy is more than just “teaching a child to eat.” Our therapists work closely with children and their families to determine the source of the child’s difficulties and develop very specific therapies to make the entire process of eating easier and more enjoyable, and bring increased peace and harmony to mealtime in your home.

We offer feeding programs for all ages and stages of childhood development.

Infant Feeding Program

We offer a 4-session package for infants who are struggling to feed, to latch on to bottle or breast, or who have had tongue and/or lip tie revisions. This program includes an initial assessment of oral skills, sensory processing, and freedom of movement, and body alignment. Then we work with you and your baby over the next 3 sessions to help your baby feed successfully. (Additional sessions available if needed.)

Indicators your infant would benefit from Feeding Therapy:

• tongue tie/lip tie (pre- and post-revision)
• difficulty with breast or bottle feeding
• arches away from bottle/breast/food
• difficulty coordinating the suck/swallow/breathe pattern during bottle or breast feeding
• feeding takes longer 30 minutes
• frequently vomits during or after eating
• fussy or irritable with eating
• the infant seems congested during or after eating
• failure to gain weight/decline in growth curve
• reflux/GI issues
• tube feeding dependent
• prematurity

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN UNDER FIVE

We offer an 18-session intensive package for children from 1 – 5 years old who are struggling to eat. This program includes an initial assessment of oral motor skills, sensory processing, postural control, freedom of movement, and body alignment. Then we work with you and your child one to three times a week over the next 2-3 months to help them be able to eat more foods safely and without distress. We understand the disruption in the daily routine of the home when a child can’t eat. (Additional sessions available if needed.)
