Feeding assessment

I offer comprehensive assessment of your child’s feeding using evidence-based tools. Feeding assessment usually includes an observation of mealtime & we will go over your child’s current and historical relationship with eating. . We will also discuss your child’s care with the other professionals involved, such as the Paediatrician, Lactation Consultant or Dietitian.

If ongoing services are indicated, I will then work with you to develop a plan to meet any short and longer term feeding goals.

Feeding therapy

I LOVE helping children with feeding. I have additional evidence-based training in helping children with mealtime challenges. Some of the reasons your child might come to Puggles Speech Therapy for feeding therapy include:​

  • Difficulty with bottle and/or breastfeeding

  • Transitioning to solids

  • Learning to chew and swallow safely and more efficiently

  • Concerns about swallow function safety (dysphagia)

  • Fussy eating

  • Mealtime differences secondary to autism and ADHD
