Picky Eaters Therapy

Extreme picky eating can impact nutrition, growth, family stress, and social participation. When a child eats fewer than 20 foods, refuses entire food groups, or has significant mealtime anxiety, professional intervention helps.Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists address the sensory, oral motor, and behavioral factors contributing to picky eating. We use a systematic, child-paced approach to increase food variety while reducing mealtime stress.Treatment includes sensory play with food, oral motor exercises, graduated exposure to new foods, and parent coaching for positive mealtime interactions. We work closely with occupational therapists and dietitians when needed for comprehensive care.
