With more that 20 years of clinical experience working in the field of pediatric feeding disorder, Carol Elliott, OTR/L is now providing private feeding services through Pediatric Feeding Services, Inc. Carol follows the TR-eat Model of intervention that melds oral motor, sensory, medical and behavioral interventions to help your child develop the skills and confidence to eat. Systematic treatment techniques and home programming/parent training are used to create the “just right challenge” to help your child develop functional feeding skills using a “child guided” approach. Treatment is guided by the child’s response and then led by the experienced therapist. Collaborating with other medical professions to address any underlying medical issues affecting eating is an essential part of the treatment plan. Once medical well-being has been established, your child can then develop skills and confidence to eat, not refuse, play with or just lick their food. Services include evaluation and treatment -in home direct- as well as Telehealth in select states.
