Feeding &
Swallowing
Eating and drinking are essential to health, growth, and quality of life. When swallowing or feeding isn’t working as it should, it can affect safety, nutrition, development, and daily routines—for infants, children, teens, and adults.
Swallowing and feeding therapy supports individuals across the lifespan by addressing the skills, coordination, and habits involved in eating and drinking safely and comfortably.
