Pediatric Feeding Therapy

There are many reasons your child may need feeding therapy here in the Frederick, MD area. Some children have difficulties eating including:

• Food refusal
• Oral motor deficits
• Food selectivity based on type or texture
• Delayed feeding development
• Limited nutritional intake
• Fine motor skill issues

These eating difficulties are distressing to the family as well as the child. Basal Therapies’ skilled therapists start by identifying the underlying causes of feeding difficulties through comprehensive feeding evaluations.

Once the underlying causes are identified, each child receives an individualized treatment plan that uses evidence-based techniques including sensory, motor, and behavioral models.
