Feeding Therapy

Signs your child may benefit from feeding therapy 

  • Eats a very limited range of foods, avoiding certain textures, tastes, or food groups.

  • Frequent coughs or choking during meals, or demonstrates signs of aspiration (food or liquid entering the airway).

  • Mealtime is consistently stressful, with the child exhibiting extreme resistance, anxiety, or tantrums during feeding.

  • Slow weight gain or growth delays.

  • Gagging or vomiting before, during, or after meals. 

  • Consistently refuses to eat specific foods or food groups

  • Strong aversions to certain food textures, temperatures, tastes, or smells, indicating sensory sensitivities that impact eating.

  • Difficulty chewing, biting, or moving food around in the mouth.

  • Significantly delayed in reaching age-appropriate feeding and self-feeding milestones.

  • Difficulty transitioning to solid foods

  • Recurrent digestive issues, such as stomachaches, constipation, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems.

  • Underlying medical conditions (e.g., prematurity, developmental delays, neurological disorders) that impact their feeding abilities.

  • Signs of anxiety, stress, or fear related to food, mealtimes, or eating in social settings.
