Mealtimes should be nourishing and safe.

We provide feeding and swallowing therapy in Atlanta to support children who experience difficulties eating, drinking, or safely swallowing. Our goal is to make mealtime more enjoyable while building healthy, confident habits.

What Are Feeding & Swallowing Difficulties?

Some children struggle with the mechanics of eating and swallowing, which may look like:
  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing food and liquids.
  • Frequent coughing, gagging, or choking during meals.
  • Refusing certain textures or food types.
  • Taking unusually long to finish meals.
  • Weight gain or nutrition concerns related to eating habits.
Feeding and swallowing therapy helps children eat safely, comfortably, and confidently so mealtimes can feel easier for the whole family.

Who Benefits from Feeding and Swallowing Therapy?

Your child may benefit if they:
  • Were born prematurely or with medical complexities that affect feeding.
  • Have sensory challenges that impact eating.
  • Struggle with oral motor skills needed for safe swallowing.
  • Show signs of aspiration risk (food or liquid “going down the wrong way”).
