Toddler feeding therapy can address areas including continuation of transitioning to solids, bottle weaning, straw and open cup drinking, increasing variety of foods, oral motor concerns, and tethered oral tissues (tongue, lip, and cheek ties). Our therapist has specialty training outside of her degree in these areas to best assist you and your family.
