Feeding and swallowing therapy is a type of intervention that is used to address feeding and swallowing disorders in children. The goal of this therapy is to improve the child's ability to eat and swallow safely and efficiently, while also addressing any underlying sensory, behavioral, or medical issues that may be contributing to the disorder.


The therapy may involve exercises to improve oral motor strength and coordination, as well as sensory techniques to address issues related to taste, texture, and temperature. It may also include behavioral strategies to address any negative associations with feeding or swallowing, such as picky eating or food aversions.


The therapy is typically tailored to the specific needs of the child, based on a comprehensive evaluation by a team of healthcare professionals. The therapy may be provided by a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, feeding specialist, or a multidisciplinary team, depending on the child's needs.


Overall, feeding and swallowing therapy can be a very effective way to improve a child's ability to eat and swallow, which can have a positive impact on their overall health and well-being.
