Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy is a collaborative approach to help find and treat the root cause of feeding difficulties, while implementing strategies to make mealtimes more enjoyable and productive for everyone in the family. Feeding therapy can help children with very limited diets learn to accept a broader variety of foods. There is always a root cause to feeding difficulties, let us help you find those!

Mealtimes feel like a consistent struggle
