Feeding therapy is a specialized service designed to help children and individuals who have difficulties with eating, drinking, chewing, swallowing, or accepting a variety of foods. These challenges may stem from medical conditions, sensory sensitivities, developmental delays, oral-motor difficulties, or behavioral factors.

 

Picky eating is common in early childhood but can become more complex and challenging when rooted in sensory processing differences or rigid, ritualistic behaviors. These patterns are especially prevalent among individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or anxiety-related conditions.
