Pediatric Feeding Disorders

The Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program provides an interdisciplinary approach to the assessment and treatment of feeding disorders. Our feeding team includes experts from medicine, psychology, nursing, nutrition, speech and/or occupational therapy, and social work. The interdisciplinary team works with you to develop specific goals for your child’s feeding behavior. Feeding behaviors are objectively measured and treatment decisions are data based. Outcomes are assessed regularly throughout the program. A primary goal is to establish feeding patterns, which can be maintained by the caregivers in the home and in other environments. Thus, caregiver training is an essential component to the success of the program.
