Feeding Therapy
Food is at the center of our lives. Mealtime help us build strong family relationships. It can be a source of pleasure, celebration, and sometimes challenges! At Big Blue Canopy, our Occupational Therapists and Speech-Language Pathologists have extensive training in feeding and swallowing to meet the specific needs of your child. Our approach works on improving oral motor skills necessary for safe/efficient intake, increasing the variety of foods tolerated within a child’s diet, and increasing tolerance with various textures of foods.
