Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy can help kids to eat a varied and healthy diet, overcome sensory-based fears of food, and improve fine motor and oral motor skills in order to successfully participate in mealtimes.

Feeding therapy with a speech language pathologist or occupational therapist can help with:

  • Picky Eaters (less than 10 fruits/vegetables, 10 sources of protein, 10 grains/carbs, or less than 20 foods total in diet)

  • If food falls out of your child’s mouth

  • Slow mealtimes

  • Frequent vomiting or reflux

  • Avoidance of specific textures/flavors

  • Coughing after swallowing

  • Avoiding mealtimes and food

  • Slow or limited weight/height gain

Our Philosophy

At ICAN, our feeding therapists are trained in child-led, strengths-based therapy that fosters connections between therapists and children in order to accomplish goals together. Our feeding therapists acknowledge your child’s developmental, sensory, and communicative needs and adapt accordingly.

We provide one­-on-one therapy sessions with frequent socialization opportunities with peers, and utilize a comprehensive interdisciplinary developmental framework by collaborating with families, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapists, BCBAs, psychologists, school teams, and more.
