FEEDING/SWALLOWING THERAPY

CHILDREN MAY NEED FEEDING/SWALLOWING THERAPY FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING:

• THEY ARE NOT GAINING AS MUCH WEIGHT AS THEIR DOCTOR WOULD LIKE

• THEY EAT A LIMITED NUMBER OF FOODS 

• THEY DEMONSTRATE AN AVERSION TO CERTAIN FOOD TEXTURES (CRUNCHY, GRITTY, CREAMY, ETC.)

• THEY LOOSE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FOOD OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AS THEY ARE CHEWING

• THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF ASPIRATING OR CHOKING ON THEIR FOOD

​

OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE VARIETY OF FOODS YOUR CHILD EATS, INCREASE THEIR COMFORT WITH EATING, AND MAKE MEAL TIMES MORE ENJOYABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD.
