What we work on
We tailor therapy to your child’s unique needs, which may include:
Expanding Food Variety
We help children try new foods and build confidence.
Feeding Skills
We support chewing, drinking, utensil use, and oral-motor skills.
Sensory Processing
We help children feel more comfortable with the tastes, textures, smells, and sensations of food.
Mealtime Routines
We create positive, predictable routines that reduce stress.
Parent Coaching
We give you practical strategies to support your child at home.
Progress can look different
for every child
Feeding progress isn’t always linear—and that’s okay. Here are some examples of what it can look like:
Explore
Touching, smelling, or interacting with a new food.
Build Comfort
Feeling more comfortable sitting at the table or participating in a meal.
Try New Skills
Taking small bites, chewing, or trying new textures.
Grow Confidence
Eating a wider variety of foods with more independence over time.
Every step forward matters.
We celebrate progress together.
A connected team for more comprehensive care.
Feeding therapy is led by our occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists. When additional medical or nutrition support would be helpful, your child’s care can stay connected within the Belly & Mind team.
Pediatric GI
Medical guidance when GI symptoms, growth, appetite, constipation, reflux, or other health factors may be affecting feeding.
Pediatric Nutrition
Nutrition support when growth, nutrient intake, food variety, or dietary needs require additional guidance.
Your providers communicate and coordinate recommendations,
so everyone is working toward the same goals.
