Feeding Therapy to Make Mealtime Joyful Again
We know how stressful feeding issues can be for families. At Talcott, we’re here to help your child overcome feeding challenges, transforming mealtimes into stress-free experiences filled with comfort, exploration, and enjoyment.
Our therapists use a gentle, play-based approach designed to build your child’s confidence around food while addressing underlying sensory, oral-motor, or behavioral challenges.
Together, we’ll create a nurturing environment where your child feels safe trying new foods.
We support families facing challenges such as:
- Food aversions due to taste, texture, or smell
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Anxiety or frustration around eating
- Limited food variety impacting health and nutrition
