Feeding therapy: Our Feeding and Speech-Language Pathologists have not just received training in the area of oral motor skills, but are daily using and helping children learn to effectively bottle feed, straw drink, chew, swallow and enjoy eating with their families. Several of our staff members are former hospital professionals and are specifically trained in Dysphasia (swallowing).
Our highly skilled speech-language pathologists and feeding therapists are specifically trained in helping babies and children who have reduced or limited intake, food refusal/selectivity by type and/or texture, dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), oral motor deficits, and delayed feeding development.
We work closely with families to assist with G-tube weaning while collaborating with dietitians and physicians always seeking a team approach for cases that are medically complex. Our feeding therapists are trained in a variety of feeding techniques including the SOS Approach to Feeding, Food Chaining, as well as the Talktools Sensory-Motor Approach to Feeding thereby developing a comprehensive and individualized approach for each child.
