What Is Pediatric Feeding Therapy?
Pediatric feeding therapy is a specialized type of healthcare designed to help children overcome chewing and swallowing difficulties. Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are specially trained to help children who struggle with these areas of feeding. Additionally, our occupational therapists (OTs) can help if your child’s feeding challenges are related to sensory processing difficulties.
We can figure out why your child struggles with feeding and help them overcome their challenges with evidence-based care. Through a combination of exercises, fun activities, and proven treatments, we help children build the skills they need for enjoyable mealtimes.

Here are some signs that your child may benefit from feeding therapy:
- Refusal to eat certain textures or types of food
- Gagging, choking, or coughing during meals
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing food
- Limited variety in their diet
