What Are Feeding Difficulties?
Feeding difficulties can range from challenges in oral movements to behavioural concerns. These may include:
Dysphagia: Difficulties caused by delayed or impaired oral skills (e.g., chewing and swallowing) or medical conditions affecting safe eating and drinking.
Fussy/Picky Eating: Challenges related to sensory sensitivities that affect the type and quantity of food intake, as well as emotional well-being and behaviour.
How Can Feeding Therapy Help?
Feeding Therapy provides practical and impactful solutions, such as:
Developing oral skills necessary for safe and effective eating and drinking.
Implementing strategies to prevent choking and manage food or drink safely.
Addressing sensory needs that may influence food intake.
Promoting healthy and positive relationships with food, encouraging enjoyable mealtime experiences.
