  • Feeding tube dependence and weaning

We treat both infants and children.  Evaluation consists of taking an extensive medical and family history and observing current feeding patterns and issues. This enables us to determine the "big picture" issue(s), develop a holistic and effective treatment plan, and optimize the patient and family feeding experience.

  • Feeding (oral motor management, postural control, assessing for core strength, whole body alignment, muscle tone, use of utensils & cups, sensory processing related to textures, tastes, smells, & visual stimuli)

  • Social challenges

Comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations are conducted with a family and client-centered approach. Objective/standardized testing measures, subjective observation, and parent reporting are used to evaluate the “whole child” and develop an individualized treatment plan. All evaluations include collaboration with other specialists as needed.
