Feeding Therapy
Feeding Therapy is a specialized intervention designed to help individuals overcome difficulties related to eating, drinking, and swallowing. At Iris CDC, we work with individuals who face challenges with feeding, including food refusal, texture aversions, swallowing difficulties, and mealtime behaviors. Our pediatric therapists, trained in TalkTools, USA, use specialized techniques to help children expand their diets, address feeding difficulties, and ensure safety throughout the process. After a thorough assessment, we create a personalized therapy plan based on the child’s age, abilities, and specific challenges. Our goal is to make mealtimes a more enjoyable and safe experience while addressing specific feeding challenges.
Oral Placement Therapy
Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) focuses on improving oral motor skills necessary for speech clarity, feeding, and overall oral motor function. By enhancing muscle strength, coordination, and awareness, individuals can improve speech production and swallowing abilities. We start with a thorough assessment of the individual’s oral motor skills, speech patterns, and feeding abilities to identify areas of weakness. Based on this assessment, our speech-language therapists create personalized intervention plans using OPT techniques and tools, such as Z-vibes,straws, chewy tubes, and jaw graders which are carefully selected based on the individual's needs and goals.
