Our approach to feeding involves a disciplinary collaborative evaluation with our speech therapists and occupational therapists. The evaluation process consists of a review of documentation and relevant outside evaluations, examination of the oral and sensory components that ​may be impacting your child's eating by a qualified speech language pathologist, and consultation with an occupational therapist. Depending on the nature of deficits, a full occupational therapy evaluation may be scheduled following the initial appointment.
