Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy is much more than just teaching a child to eat. We work on improving a child’s relationship to food and for children to accept a variety of tastes and textures. We take a holistic approach to make the entire process of eating easier and more enjoyable. Picky eaters can be caused by a number of reasons including hypersensitivity to taste, textures, and smell. Picking eating and food aversion can also be due to poor oral-motor skills or learned habits at mealtime. The purpose of feeding therapy should be to try new foods and take the battle out of mealtimes.
