What to expect from Feeding and Swallowing Therapy
Evaluation begins with a warm, play‑based assessment of oral motor skills, sensory responses, and swallowing safety. Treatment blends sensory strategies, graded exposure, and communication goals so feeding practice is motivating not stressful. We set clear, measurable goals and share progress photos and activity ideas you can use between sessions.

Parent coaching is central — we teach simple routines for mealtime, bath time, and play so progress continues at home. We also collaborate with teachers and school teams when appropriate and offer flexible scheduling to fit family life in Plantation.
