Feeding Therapy
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy provides skilled services to children with difficulties eating. These may include problems sucking, chewing, or swallowing age-appropriate food safely and easily.
Feeding disorders may also include difficulties in a child’s relationship to food. A resistant eater may limit intake enough to result in illness, malnutrition, or poor growth.
Pediatric feeding therapists work with children to improve:
- Sensory aversion to foods.
- Oral motor delay/weakness/coordination.
- Behavioral issues involving food.
- Enable independence.
- Increase the ability to participate in meal time activities at home, school, and in the community.
- Encourage and strengthen family routines and culture that affect feeding.
- Decrease anxiety around foods.
