Who will pay for services?  

Our admission specialist will help you figure out your benefits and whether your insurance will pay for the service.

Your child’s team will include a licensed psychologist or board certified behavior analyst and a trained feeding therapist.

We individualize treatment, but generally:

  • discourage refusal behavior; and
  • make eating easy and fun.
