At Therapeutic Learning Center, we offer feeding and swallowing therapy for children birth to 18 years. Whether your child is having difficulty breastfeeding or bottle feeding, transitioning to solids, refusing certain textures, or expanding their diet, we provide individualized interventions to promote a healthier relationship with food. Our feeding therapy techniques have been effective in treating a wide variety of disorders.
Your child may receive Feeding Therapy from an Occupational Therapist or Speech-Language Pathologist trained in feeding and swallowing.
Feeding therapy may be beneficial for the following difficulties:
Difficulty transitioning to solids
Oral motor/swallowing issues
Trouble meeting caloric and nutritional needs
Nasogastric tube weaning
Gastronomy tube weaning
Tongue Tie and Lip Tie
Breastfeeding difficulties
Bottle feeding difficulties
Restricted diets
Sensory concerns/Texture aversions
We work directly with the caregivers of our patients, as they are a very important part of the feeding therapy process. Our therapists will begin by completing an in-depth evaluation then will provide an individualized plan of care. If you have any concerns about your child's feeding or swallowing, call our office to schedule an evaluation today.
