WHO THIS IS FOR
Is Feeding Therapy Right for Your Child?
This service works especially well if:
Feeding Therapy That Helps Your Child Eat Better
Mealtimes don’t have to feel stressful or overwhelming. Feeding Therapy supports your child in developing safe eating habits, confidence with new foods, better chewing and swallowing skills, and calmer mealtime routines that work for your whole family.
Your child avoids certain textures or refuses new foods
You want mealtimes to feel easier and more predictable
You’re looking for support that builds long-term healthy eating skills
We accept most insurances
WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS
What Feeding Therapy Looks Like
Feeding Therapy means your child gets support designed specifically for eating challenges, whether they’re sensory, motor, emotional, or related to limited food experiences. Your child’s therapist learns what’s difficult — like textures, chewing, gagging, food refusal, or rigid preferences — and builds a step-by-step plan to strengthen skills and lower stress.
Instead of trying strategies that only work sometimes, we guide you with approaches that match your child’s needs. If chewing is difficult, we focus on strengthening oral motor skills. If textures create sensory discomfort, we introduce them gradually in a way that feels safe. If meals feel overwhelming, we help establish routines that reduce stress and create predictability.
Sessions happen one to three times per week, either at our center or in your home, depending on what works best for your family. Your child works with a consistent therapist who understands their history, respects their pace, and celebrates progress — even the small wins.
Your Child Has Multiple Needs
They're not just struggling with behavior, or just with communication, or just with eating. It's all of it. They need support in multiple areas and you're tired of managing five different therapists who don't coordinate.
You're Drowning in Appointments
Monday: speech. Tuesday: OT. Wednesday: behavior. Thursday: feeding. Friday: social skills. Your calendar is a nightmare and nobody's looking at how everything fits together.
Previous Therapy Felt Fragmented
Your child made progress in speech therapy but their behavior got worse. Or they learned skills in one setting that didn't transfer anywhere else. You need an integrated approach—not isolated interventions.
You Want One Team, One Plan
You're tired of being the only person connecting the dots. You want professionals who actually talk to each other and create one coherent strategy for your child.
WHO'S ACTUALLY WORKING WITH YOUR CHILD
Skills We Focus On
Every program is different because every child is different. But here's what Feeding Therapy typically addresses:
Communication & Language
Whether your child is learning first words, building sentences, or working on conversation skills—we address communication in every session. Not just during "speech time" but throughout the day, with every therapist reinforcing the same techniques.
Behavior & Emotional Regulation
Tantrums, aggression, self-injury, refusal—we figure out why these behaviors happen and teach your child better ways to cope. Then we make sure every therapist uses the same approach so your child gets consistent support.
Social Skills & Peer Interaction
Making eye contact, sharing, taking turns, reading social cues, maintaining friendships. We don't just teach these in isolation—we create opportunities to practice with peers and give real-time coaching.
Daily Living & Independence
Dressing, eating, toileting, hygiene, household tasks. We teach the skills your child needs for independence and make sure they're reinforced across all therapies.
Sensory & Motor Skills
If sensory issues are affecting eating, behavior, or learning—our OT addresses that while other therapists adapt their approaches. If motor delays are holding your child back, we integrate movement into everything.
Academic & Pre-Academic Skills
Attention, following directions, completing tasks, early literacy and math concepts. We prepare your child for school success across all developmental areas.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions About Feeding Therapy
What types of feeding challenges do you help with?
We support children who struggle with picky eating, texture sensitivities, gagging, difficulty chewing, swallowing concerns, limited food variety, or stress during meals. Each plan is tailored to your child’s specific challenges.
How many hours per week is Feeding Therapy?
Most children attend one to three sessions per week, depending on their needs and insurance authorization. We’ll work with you to find the right frequency that supports progress without overwhelming your child.
Will my child try new foods right away?
Progress usually starts with building comfort. Some children explore foods visually or through touch before tasting them. We follow a gentle, child-led approach that helps your child feel safe throughout the process.
Do parents participate in sessions?
Often, yes. We show you how to support your child outside sessions, structure meals, reduce stress, and create routines that promote progress. Parent guidance is a core part of Feeding Therapy.
Can Feeding Therapy happen at home?
Yes. Many families prefer home-based sessions because real mealtimes happen there. Center-based sessions are also available depending on your location and what makes sense for your child.
