Our ONE Goal

Eating is a life long activity that brings people and families together. It is our comfort, our traditions, our family that is completely immersed in food. It follows us from the moment you take your first breath to your last. It is how you survive, thrive, and grow.
​
When this complex skill is compromised and full of challenges, tears, gagging, and fear, it will affect every member of your family, and every part of your day. Our goal is to break down those walls and barriers and make it easier for everyone to enjoy their family meals together.

Everyone should have a seat at the table. 
         What is Feeding Therapy?
​
Feeding therapy helps children learn to accept new foods, increase the amount of food they are eating, and accept new textures of food.  Approximately 25-35% of average children will have mild feeding problems (Leung, 1994). Children with Autism have an extremely high rate of feeding difficulty, with 90% of children with Autism having some reported difficulty with feeding or foods, and 70% reported as at least picky or very selective eaters (Kodak & Piazza, 2008; Keen, 2008). 

Feeding Therapy in infants and small children may look different and involve more oral motor exercises and techniques to facilitate appropriate movement of the jaw, tongue, lips, palate, and cheeks. Sensory tools may be used to stimulate and train the muscles involved with feeding.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Cove Speech Language And Feeding Therapy. They helped my son go from not wanting to put any solid foods even close to his mouth, to trying all sorts of new foods in just a few months. The therapists worked with him on his sensory issues, on self-feeding, and on learning to chew. They were patient and friendly, and through play, made it a very enjoyable experience for my son. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs speech and/or feeding therapy. I will never forget how much they helped my son and I am forever grateful to them." -Sheena R.
