Assential Therapies’ feeding clinic is a unique multidisciplinary practice that offers feeding and swallowing therapy for children from birth to 21 years of age. We work collaboratively with other professional disciplines such as occupational therapists, physical therapists, dieticians, and medical specialists including GI doctors, ENTs, and your pediatricians to address your child’s oral feeding development in a holistic manner. We look at feeding and swallowing issues not as an isolated breakdown within the mouth, but as a breakdown in the interaction of multiple body systems, which is necessary for a successful and enjoyable eating experience. Feeding issues not only take a toll on the child but on the entire family. Often parents ask what feeding treatment approach we use. Years of experience of treating children with feeding problems have taught us that it is not a specific treatment approach that leads to a successful feeding outcome, but it is an accurate assessment of where the systemic breakdown is and a plan for addressing those breakdowns.
