We understand how stressful mealtimes can become when your child struggles with feeding or swallowing. Whether your child is an infant learning to latch, a toddler refusing foods, or an older child with medical or sensory challenges, our Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs) are here to help.
Our team specializes in evaluating and treating a wide range of feeding and swallowing concerns using evidence-based, compassionate, child-centered approaches.
Who We Help
We provide feeding and swallowing support for children of all ages, including those who experience:
- Difficulty latching or coordinating suck–swallow–breathe
- Slow or inefficient bottle or breastfeeding
- Gagging, coughing, or choking during meals
- Trouble moving to age-appropriate food textures
- Food refusal or limited food variety (picky eating)
- Sensory aversions to textures, smells, or temperatures
- Oral-motor weakness or discoordination
- Prolonged mealtimes
- Difficulty chewing
- Weight gain concerns
- Medical or developmental conditions affecting feeding
- Tube-feeding transitions
When to Seek Feeding or Swallowing Therapy
Consider reaching out if your child:
- Frequently coughs or gags while eating
- Refuses entire food groups or struggles with textures
- Takes longer than 30 minutes to finish meals
- Has difficulty breastfeeding or bottle feeding
- Has a history of aspiration or pneumonia
- Avoids eating with others
- Relies heavily on smooth or pureed foods
- Has difficulty chewing or managing food in their mouth
Early support can prevent long-term difficulties and reduce stress for both children and families.
