Feeding Therapy
Our feeding clinic aims to help your child establish a positive relationship with food and mealtimes. We strive to help children experiencing various feeding challenges from sensory sensitivities and picky eating behaviors, to oral motor difficulties. We are a team of Speech-Language Pathologists and Child Development Specialists who have received training on the feeding intervention of Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS).
If your child presents with any of the following, they may benefit from feeding therapy:
- Diet limited to a restricted number of foods
- Food aversions due to texture or sensory issues
- Gagging or choking on food
- Slow or poor weight gain
- Taking longer than 30 minutes to eat a meal
- Throwing food
- Refusing to eat
