Firefly Therapy Clinic is proud to be a leader in Feeding services for children with feeding difficulty or aversions.

We provide evaluation and treatment for children with feeding challenges. This includes

  • Newborns with breast feeding difficulty
  • Children who aspirate or when chocking is common
  • Children transitioning to solid foods, such as a child who eats purees but won’t eat foods with texture.
  • Children with sensory issues with food, such as not liking certain textures/colors/temperatures.
  • Children who have difficulty chewing.
  • Children who are picky eaters and have very limited food choices.

Children with a feeding disorder may have a past history of…

  • Delayed development
  • Failure to thrive
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Picky Eating
  • Reflux
  • Behavioral/Emotional issues
  • Difficulty gaining weight

Our feeding clinic brings together a team to asses and create a Plan of Care for each child.

 

Our interdisciplinary treatment team includes

  • Occupational Therapist
  • Speech Therapist
  • Nutritionist
  • Behavioral Therapist
  • Social Worker/Counselor (if needed)
  • Lactation Consultant (if needed)

After the initial assessment at the clinic, ongoing treatment with one of our feeding therapist will be scheduled to continue to work on feeding milestones.
