Our Feeding and Swallowing Service provides assessment and therapy to infants and children throughout their feeding development, and provides therapy in managing difficulties with reflux, texture progression, chewing skill development, drooling, overstuffing and pocketing food, oro-motor concerns, coughing and choking during feeding and mealtimes, fussy and picky eaters, challenging mealtime behaviours, and implementing mealtime structures and routines.
Individualised parent and caregiver training is provided in all these areas.
After the assessment, the therapist produces a report outlining the child’s background, observations from the assessment, and recommending strategies for the family to implement around mealtimes and feeding.
