Feeding Evaluation & Therapy
Support your child’s feeding skills — with care that looks at the whole picture.
This service is for families whose child struggles with eating in a way that goes beyond typical picky phases. Whether your infant has difficulty with bottle-feeding, your toddler gags or refuses textures, or mealtimes feel stressful and limited, feeding therapy offers a thoughtful, skill-based approach to help your child eat safely and confidently.
You thought they would grow out of it - so why does feeding still feel so hard?
You’ve tried offering different foods, following mealtime advice, and staying patient — but eating still feels like a daily challenge. You may be worried about nutrition, growth, or whether something deeper is going on, yet unsure where to turn next.
Feeding therapy helps move past guessing and waiting. By understanding why feeding has been difficult, we can begin addressing the underlying skills and sensitivities that are getting in the way — and help meals feel calmer and more predictable
When your child struggles to eat, it’s normal to feel worried, frustrated, and unsure how to help.
A feeding evaluation is where we slow things down and take a closer look. We’ll assess oral motor skills, chewing and swallowing patterns, sensory responses, feeding history, and mealtime routines. From there, therapy focuses on building skills, confidence, and comfort — so your child can move forward at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

PARENT GUIDANCE & NEXT STEPS
During the evaluation, we’ll observe your child eating, talk through their feeding history, and identify what’s contributing to the difficulty. Therapy sessions are play-based, gentle, and responsive — focused on skill-building rather than pressure. You’ll leave with clear recommendations, practical strategies, and a plan you can feel confident about.
