What Is Home Health Care Feeding Therapy?

Home health feeding therapy brings skilled occupational or speech therapists directly to your home, creating a comfortable and familiar environment for your child to learn and improve eating habits. Tailored specifically for each child’s needs, whether they face sensory or motor challenges, our therapists devise personalized strategies to overcome eating barriers, enhancing mealtime experiences right where you live.

The Most Common Types of Feeding Difficulties

Recognizing the different types of feeding difficulties can be the first step toward unlocking the joys of mealtime for your child. Our licensed and certified medical professionals draw upon a diverse array of pediatric feeding therapy techniques to devise solutions as unique as your child. The Daisy Kids Care feeding therapy program helps improve a variety of difficulties your child may struggle with, including:

• Food Aversions – A strong resistance or negative reaction to specific foods, which can greatly limit the variety in a child’s diet.
• Picky Eating – A reluctance to eat certain familiar foods, a hesitation to try new foods, and a tendency to have very specific food preferences.
• Oral-Motor Difficulties – Challenges with effectively using the mouth for critical functions like speaking, eating, chewing, blowing, or producing certain sounds.
• Swallowing Disorders – Difficulties with swallowing specific foods or liquids, which can impact nutritional intake and mealtime comfort.

How Feeding Therapy Will Help Your Child

In-home pediatric feeding therapy with Daisy Kids Care offers a child-friendly approach to overcoming feeding difficulties. Imagine your child mastering the art of eating in their own dining room, nurtured by the safe and supportive environment of home. Our specialized therapists introduce a variety of techniques directly into your living space.

These methods include gentle desensitization to new foods, engaging oral-motor exercises like bubble-blowing or tongue games, and rewarding behavioral strategies that encourage bite-taking and utensil use. This personalized, in-home care fosters not just skill development but a newfound joy in eating, making each meal a victory.
