Feeding Therapy for Picky Eating & Swallowing Difficulties
Feeding challenges—whether picky eating, food aversions, oral motor delays, or swallowing difficulties—can impact your child's nutrition and development. Our feeding specialists use sensory-motor approaches to address the underlying causes of feeding issues, helping children expand their diet and build positive relationships with food.
Sensory-Based Feeding Issues
Many children experience sensory sensitivities that make mealtimes stressful. Our feeding therapists use evidence-based sensory integration techniques to help children tolerate new textures, temperatures, and food presentations, gradually expanding their comfort zone at the table.
Oral Motor Skills & Swallowing
Weakness or coordination difficulties in the muscles used for chewing and swallowing can affect your child's ability to eat safely. We provide targeted oral motor exercises and therapeutic feeding strategies to strengthen jaw, lip, and tongue control for safer, more efficient eating.
Picky Eating & Food Aversions
Extreme picky eating goes beyond normal childhood preferences. Our therapists use a child-centered, play-based approach to reduce food anxiety, introduce new foods without pressure, and build positive mealtime routines that help your child develop a healthier relationship with eating.
