Child receiving feeding therapyProgram Overview

Children with feeding disorders and eating problems need a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to start their journey to independence. Our program is individually tailored to the needs of each child and their family.

To begin the program, each child is evaluated and assessed to determine if the feeding disorder is caused by medical, oral-motor, sensory, appetite or behavioral problems. A variety of treatment options are available including outpatient and follow-up care.

 

Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team that includes:
  • pediatric gastroenterologists
  • developmental pediatricians
  • pediatric psychologists
  • occupational therapists
  • care managers
  • pediatric dieticians
  • nursing
  • rehabilitation technicians
  • speech and language pathologists
  • social workers

Based on each child's needs, the team will design a treatment plan incorporating goals and objectives. The treatment plan will be adapted to your child's home environment.Services are provided on an inpatient, outpatient or day treatment basis.
