Feeding Therapy For Kids

Our pediatric occupational therapists take a comprehensive approach to help children develop healthy eating skills. We focus on:

✅ Identifying the Root Cause: Is your child’s feeding challenge sensory-related or behavioural? We assess the underlying factors.

✅ Assessing the Whole Picture: We evaluate how your child’s body, environment, and eating habits interact to influence feeding.

✅ Oral & Motor Development: We look at posture, oral motor skills, and fine motor coordination to ensure your child has the foundation for successful eating.

✅ Food Progression & Texture Transitioning: We help children move through oral motor milestones, such as transitioning from:

• Liquids to solids
• Smooth textures to mixed textures

✅ Skill Building for Independence:

• Learning to use utensils (fork, knife, spoon)
• Transitioning from bottle to cup

✅ Expanding Food Variety: If your child has a limited diet, we work on increasing the number and types of foods they are willing to eat.

✅ Adapting Feeding Strategies for Success: Every child is unique, so we tailor feeding strategies and mealtime routines to help them feel more comfortable and confident.
