Services begin with an initial 60-minute feeding consultation. Your child does not need to be present for this visit. Instead, we ask that the primary caregivers involved in feeding and daily care attend, so we can gain a full picture of what’s been happening at home.
Before the consultation, families complete an intake form that reviews your child’s medical and feeding history, current concerns, and how feeding challenges are impacting your family. This allows the consultation to focus on understanding your experience and identifying meaningful next steps.
-
Yes. Virtual and in-home feeding evaluations are offered for infants and children. Evaluations require a food journal log and home feeding videos, and when needed and oral motor exam, to support a thorough assessment.
Following the feeding evaluation, families are provided with a written report that includes evaluation findings, clinical impressions, and an individualized plan of care.
-
Services are individualized and depend on your child’s age, developmental stage, and the nature of their feeding challenges. Some families feel supported after a single consultation with clear guidance and next steps, while others benefit from ongoing sessions for continued support and progress. The recommended level and duration of care are always discussed together and adjusted as your child’s needs evolve.

Optional add-on supports, available for an additional fee, include email support, home video review, and food journal feedback.
