Feeding Therapy

Feeding can be an ongoing source of stress for a family that can begin in infancy and continue through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. Some bumps in the road can be normal with breastfeeding or a “picky” eater. However, an underlying sensory, oral-motor, or structural issue could be the root of the problem.
