Pediatric Feeding Therapy

Feeding difficulties are frustrating.

Mealtimes have become an exhausting event. You know that a healthy diet is essential for growth and development in your child but you are struggling to get your child to eat a variety of foods. This has caused you to become concerned about your child’s nutritional health and developmental progress.

Difficulties with feeding raise many questions for parents

Are they eating enough?
Is something wrong?
Is dinner time always going to be this stressful?
Can pediatric feeding therapy help me?

Individualized Feeding Therapy

Our pediatric feeding therapy evaluation can help identify whether your child is a picky eater or has a feeding disorder. Sometimes, what is actually a feeding disorder is overlooked by a parent as a preference or dislike for certain foods. Feeding disorders can include difficulty eating in a noisy environment, only wanting to eat foods with a certain texture, or refusal to eat an entire food group (like vegetables).

At Advantage Therapy Services, we will provide effective and individualized pediatric feeding therapy for feeding disorders. We can help expose your child to new foods in a fun and positive way to encourage acceptance. Our feeding therapist can also assist with sensory difficulties that may be contributing to an underlying feeding disorder.

We are here to guide you through the process of pediatric feeding therapy. Together we can improve your child’s feeding abilities, reduce the stress around mealtimes, and encourage a healthy diet that supports developmental growth.

Pediatric feeding therapy can help. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
