Our Feeding and Swallowing Clinic professionals serve children aged birth to 18 years, who have feeding and/or swallowing issues. Problems addressed include challenges with eating safely and/or significant restriction in tastes and textures, which have physical, developmental and/or sensory-based cause.
Selective eaters are eligible for the clinic if they would be classified under extreme picky eaters and/or problem feeders, in line with Dr. Kay Toomey’s research – see chart: https://sosapproachtofeeding.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Picky-Eaters-vs-Problem-Feeders-Color-white.pdf for these definitions.
Please note that we do not address feeding concerns that are solely the result of behaviour issues and/or related to nutritional intake. We suggest families contact their family doctor and/or dietician for information on these areas, respectively.
