How Feeding Therapy Helps

Feeding therapy is a specialized form of therapy that helps children learn to eat or improve their eating abilities. Using the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach and other evidence-based methods, we work with children to develop oral motor skills, expand food choices, build positive eating associations, and address sensory processing challenges related to food.

Laura's unique combination of speech-language pathology and orofacial myofunctional therapy expertise means she can address both the oral motor foundations and the broader sensory aspects of feeding challenges — providing truly comprehensive care.
