Feeding

 Advanced Therapy Clinic is proud to be a leader in Feeding services for children with feeding difficulty or aversions.
 2 times a month we conduct a FEEDING CLINIC to assess children with feeding challenges. This includes

• Newborns with breast feeding difficulty

• Children who aspirate or when chocking is common

• Children transitioning to solid foods, such as a child who eats purees but won’t eat foods with texture.

• Children with sensory issues with food, such as not liking certain textures/colors/temperatures.

• Children who have difficulty chewing.

• Children who are picky eaters and have very limited food choices.

Children with a feeding disorder may have a past history of…

• Delayed development

• Failure to thrive

• Difficulty swallowing

• Picky Eating

• Reflux

• Behavioral/Emotional issues

• Difficulty gaining weight

Our feeding clinic brings together a team to asses and create a Plan of Care for each child.
Our interdisciplinary treatment team includes

• Occupational Therapist

• Speech Therapist

• Nutritionist

• Behavioral Therapist

• Social Worker/Counselor (if needed)

• Lactation Consultant (if needed)

After the initial assessment at the clinic, ongoing treatment with one of our feeding therapist will be scheduled to continue to work on feeding milestones.
