Make Mealtimes More manageable for you and your child
Feeding challenges may stem from oral motor delays, chewing problems, sensory issues or fine motor difficulties. Our team can provide insight, practical recommendations, and hands-on feeding therapy to support your child’s individual needs.
We help kids who struggle with eating build feeding skills
The Feeding Group can address many of the challenges that come up during mealtimes.
We can help with:
- Children who have trouble using utensils or feeding themselves
- Struggling with drinking from cups
- Overstuffing food in their mouth
- Gagging during mealtimes
- Difficulty chewing food
- Throwing food or other difficult mealtime behaviours
- Difficulty staying seated during mealtimes
We’re there for every part of your feeding journey
By working together, we will address your child’s unique feeding challenges, so you can feel confident they’re getting the support they need.
Our services
The Feeding Group is a team of registered healthcare professionals offering a uniquely collaborative approach which allows us to work together to support your child.
OT/SLP Consultation
This consultation includes an assessment and recommendations from an Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). Ongoing feeding therapy sessions may be recommended to further address your child’s concerns.
60-minute initial consultation: $180
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy builds feeding skills using a play-based approach with one of our therapists and occurs weekly or biweekly. Children are required to have completed an initial consultation before booking feeding therapy sessions.
We recommend booking 5-8 sessions at a time, as this allows us the time needed to build a trusted relationship, work on specific skills and help transfer these skills to home.
45-60 minute therapy session: $135-180
