Feeding is complex. It involves motor skills, sensory processing, oral strength and coordination, breathing, posture, digestion, communication, emotional regulation, and trust.
That is why our feeding therapy approach looks beyond the plate. We take time to understand your child’s medical history, sensory preferences, developmental needs, family routines, and mealtime environment. From there, we create a plan that supports progress without pressure.
Our goal is not to force children to eat. Our goal is to help children feel safer, more capable, and more comfortable participating in feeding and mealtimes.
No. Feeding therapy can support children with picky eating, but it can also help with infant feeding, oral motor delays, swallowing concerns, sensory-based food aversions, tube feeding transitions, and medically complex feeding needs.
We may ask you to bring foods, bottles, cups, utensils, or other items your child commonly uses. We will provide specific guidance when scheduling.
Yes. Many children struggle with certain textures because of sensory processing, oral motor skills, past feeding experiences, or a combination of factors. Therapy can help children explore textures safely and gradually.
At Beyond Function, we embrace an integrative approach to our service offerings. We believe in the concept of treating the “whole child” and can tailor a plan to fit your needs. If your child’s medical care professional has recommended a multidisciplinary evaluation, you can get it all done here by our certified, expert team.
We cannot guarantee your insurance plan will pay your bill, and if coverage is denied for any reason, the responsible party on record will be billed.
