Feeding Intervention

Expert pediatric occupational therapy tailored to your child's needs to promote developmental milestone acquisition. 

Initial Evaluation

  • A comprehensive two-part evaluation that begins with observing a family meal time to closely examine behaviors, sensory response, and reactions among family members. This is followed by an oral motor assessment to evaluate related functions.

  • Targeted questionnaires to understand your child's safe foods, tolerated foods, and food jags. 

  • Comprehensive written report detailing all clinical observations, child's current skills, and the plan of care that will be addressed.

  • Detailed spreadsheet of your child's preferred foods and the categories they fall in. 

Treatment

  • Collaborative review of initial findings and development of plan of care that targets your child's next steps.

  • Play based targeted intervention sessions to maximize therapeutic outcomes. 

  • In-home suggestions for environmental modifications aimed at fostering a more positive feeding atmosphere.
