Your child may have been referred for an oral motor/feeding evaluation secondary to concerns that your child is refusing to eat or has difficulty chewing or swallowing. Frequent concerns that warrant a feeding evaluation are as follows:
During the feeding evaluation, Shine feeding specialists will take a thorough medical and feeding history. Your child will further be observed with a feeding in order to fully assess your child’s oral musculature and feeding skills during a meal. Our experienced feeding team looks at the whole child during the evaluation in order to fully address the feeding concerns. Following the feeding evaluation, feeding therapy may be recommended. Shine therapists are experienced with a range of ages and feeding concerns including infant feedings, transitioning children to an age appropriate diet level, as well as addressing picky feeding. Our feeding team specialists work when necessary with other providers in the area, including pediatric gastroenterologists, dieticians, and a wide range of medical specialists following the evaluation to help families and their children who are struggling to have successful mealtimes.
