FEEDING EVALUATIONS
Early support is key. Addressing feeding concerns as soon as possible can help prevent short-term struggles from becoming long-term difficulties.
Evaluations include observation, caregiver discussion, clinical analysis, and possible feeding or swallowing diagnoses to guide next steps.

FEEDING THERAPY
Feeding therapy includes skilled interventions and parent coaching. Both help give you the confidence to build on your child's current skills and practice them at home.
Therapy may include swallow strategies, oral motor exercises, and techniques to improve coordination between breathing and swallowing.
