What is Feeding Therapy How can Talk About Therapy help?

Feeding therapy can address many different difficulties faced by you and your child, such as: breastfeeding, increasing oral intake, food aversions, strengthening the oral motor muscles, and moving from tube feeding to oral intake. Feeding therapy typically takes place during mealtime. We work directly with the parent during mealtime to ensure the family is also learning the therapeutic techniques as we implement them. At Talk About Therapy, we pride ourselves in involving our families to help create customized goals for our children. We will sit down with you to discuss what outcomes you hope to see from your child, and help you implement techniques and strategies for life-long success.
