Answers to Your Questions about Helping Your Child Develop Healthy Eating Habits.
Our feeding clinic and therapy service is dedicated to helping children overcome feeding difficulties and develop healthy eating habits. We provide comprehensive assessments and personalized therapy sessions to address a range of feeding issues.
If your child experiences challenges with eating, such as difficulty swallowing, refusing certain foods, choking, gagging, or failure to thrive, they may benefit from feeding therapy. Consulting with a pediatrician or feeding specialist can help determine if therapy is appropriate.
The assessment process typically includes a thorough evaluation of your child’s feeding history, medical background, oral motor skills, sensory responses, and nutritional intake. We may also observe mealtime behaviors and conduct specialized assessments to identify specific feeding challenges.
The duration of a feeding therapy session can vary depending on the individual needs of the child. Typically, sessions last between 30 minutes to an hour, but this can be adjusted based on the child’s attention span, tolerance, and progress.
The frequency of therapy sessions will be determined based on your child’s unique needs and treatment goals. Initially, sessions may be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, with adjustments made as progress is achieved.
