What is Feeding Therapy?
Feeding Therapy is a specialized service designed to address difficulties in eating, swallowing or feeding behaviors. Children and individuals who struggle with food aversions, texture sensitivities, chewing difficulties or swallowing disorders benefit greatly from this therapy. Feeding issues can arise from developmental delays, sensory processing challenges or medical conditions.
At Aaradhya Rising Foundation, our feeding therapy focuses on creating a safe and positive environment where children can learn to enjoy mealtime and improve their feeding habits. Our experienced therapists use a multidisciplinary approach to address both the physical and behavioral aspects of feeding challenges.
