Feeding Therapy
Feeding Therapy is a therapeutic intervention aimed at addressing various challenges related to eating and swallowing. This therapy involves a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s feeding habits, sensory responses, and oral-motor skills, followed by personalized strategies to improve their feeding abilities and overall nutritional intake.
Key Benefits of Feeding Therapy

- Positive Mealtime Behavior: Encourages healthy eating habits and reduces mealtime stress or aversions.
