Is your child a 'picky eater' or 'messy eater'? Feeding therapy may help to improve their feeding skills!
Feeding skills impact nutrition, meal times, socialization with caregivers, and more. We assess feeding skills from a sensory and motor approach, since both sensory and motor skills are used when eating.
A child may present with a motor feeding difficulty if they presented with very limited to no chewing of their food. Feeding therapy would target increasing those motor skills and expanding upon them. A child may present with a sensory feeding difficulty if they refuse to eat a certain texture of foods.
Our speech pathologists specialize in working with infants and young children that present with frequent coughing and/or gagging, difficulty chewing, limited tongue movement, and a limited diet during feeding therapy.
Do you think your child may benefit from pediatric feeding therapy? Contact us to set up a free 10 minute phone consultation.
Our speech therapists have specialized training in oral motor and tethered oral tissues and work with infants with breastfeeding and bottle feeding difficulties. If your infant presents with the following symptoms, an infant feeding and oral motor evaluation may be warranted: difficulty latching at the breast/ painful latch, baby falls asleep before finishing a feed, infant has frequent spit-up or reflux, excess gas, lip blisters, and a lip tie and/or tongue tie.
