Feeding Therapy

[Add a description of this service.]

What to expect

Our feeding team brings together clinicians with extensive experience in paediatric feeding, swallowing, nutrition, positioning and mealtime participation. We look beyond the food itself to understand the full picture, including oral motor skills, chewing and swallowing, positioning, sensory needs, nutrition, fatigue and the child's physical ability to participate in mealtimes. Depending on the child's needs, support may involve Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics and Physiotherapy working collaboratively. This depth of knowledge across disciplines allows us to develop practical, individualised strategies that support safer, more comfortable and more successful mealtimes.
