Take the Next StepFeeding Therapy Services at Next Wave Kids

At Next Wave Kids, our feeding therapy services are designed to help children who struggle with eating and swallowing.

Our experienced team works to address the underlying causes of feeding challenges, providing personalized care to ensure your child’s nutritional and developmental needs are met.

Symptoms
Feeding issues can present as difficulty chewing, swallowing, gagging, food aversion, or poor weight gain. If your child struggles during meals or shows signs of discomfort while eating, our specialists can help identify and address the root of the problem.

Causes
Feeding difficulties can arise from a variety of causes, including medical conditions, developmental delays, sensory processing issues, or oral motor challenges. Our thorough evaluations help uncover the specific factors affecting your child’s ability to eat comfortably.

Treatments
We provide tailored feeding therapy plans to improve your child’s eating and swallowing skills. Using proven techniques, we work to build positive mealtime experiences and foster healthy feeding habits that promote growth and development.

FEES (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing)
For children with more complex feeding or swallowing issues, we offer FEES, a safe and minimally invasive procedure that provides a detailed assessment of swallowing function. This allows us to develop the most effective treatment plan for your child.
