Feeding Intervention

Does your child need feeding intervention?

Children who have difficulties transitioning between feeding stages (i.e. bottles to purees to soft solids to table foods), oral defensiveness, decreased tolerance for textures and children with limited oral feeding exposure due to other nutritional sources such as a gastrostomy tube, nasograstic tube or total parenteral nutrition, may need feeding intervention.

Diagnoses can include failure to thrive, prematurity, cleft lip/palate, and many gastrointestinal diagnoses.

Many children with feeding difficulties are treated in conjunction with speech and language pathologists.
