About Us
When your patient struggles with feeding, it can create significant stress for both the child and their caregivers. Pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders can manifest in many ways, including difficulty latching or sucking from a breast or bottle, trouble transitioning to solid foods, difficulty using age-appropriate feeding tools, or extreme pickiness and food refusal. If left untreated, these issues can result in nutrient deficiencies, growth delays, developmental setbacks, family stress and social isolation.
We focus on identifying the root cause of these challenges and developing a customized treatment plan tailored to your patient’s needs. By addressing any underlying structural issues, medical conditions, behavioral concerns or sensory challenges, our feeding and swallowing therapists work to resolve feeding problems and support your patient in eating, drinking and thriving.
