Helping Children Eat

Poor oral motor control and development, decreased oral awareness, and/or difficulty regulating are just a few reasons why a child may refuse food.  With this in mind, our approach to feeding therapy starts with working to create a safe environment that promotes a willingness to engage with non-preferred items.  Treatments incorporate several therapeutic models in order to find the best fit for success and carryover into the home environment.

We provide assessment, intervention and parent education services for children needing:

  • Expansion of limited or restricted diets

  • Oral motor development and feeding skills

  • Development of consistent meal time routines

  • Support around anxiety with new foods

  • Regulation with non-preferred or novel foods

  • Support with feeding that affects social participation

  • Expansion of diets due to medically complex concerns

 

We can help.

At Therapy Works, Kim and Ratna each have more than 30 years of experience helping children, from infants to 18 years, achieve their development goals through proof-based therapy methods.
