Feeding Therapy

Helping children build positive, confident mealtime experiences

Feeding therapy helps children develop the skills they need to eat safely, comfortably, and successfully, while helping families create more positive mealtime experiences.


At Little Communicators, we take a supportive, individualized approach to feeding therapy that considers each child's unique developmental, sensory, oral-motor, and feeding needs.

  • Have difficulty chewing or swallowing
  • Have difficulty drinking from a cup or straw
  • Avoid foods with certain textures, smells, or appearances
  • Take a very long time to eat
  • Require separate meals from the rest of the family
