How Fox Health can help
Families may seek support for picky eating, food refusal, sensory responses to food, gagging, or concerns about safe and adequate eating.
- Food variety and acceptance
- Texture and sensory challenges
- Mealtime participation
- Chewing and oral-motor skills
- Caregiver strategies and routines
What to expect from an evaluation
The therapist considers medical and developmental history, caregiver concerns, eating routines, and observed skills. We coordinate with the child’s healthcare team when needed.
What therapy looks like
Feeding therapy is individualized and paced around safety, trust, and practical family routines. Caregivers receive strategies they can use between sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Is picky eating always a feeding disorder?
Not always. A feeding evaluation helps distinguish common preferences from concerns that affect safety, nutrition, growth, or family participation.
Can caregivers participate?
Yes. Caregiver involvement is central because mealtime strategies need to work in the family’s real routines.
