Feeding and dysphagia in Diamond Bar
Eating and drinking involve more than choosing foods. Sensory experiences, oral skills and swallowing can all contribute to mealtime difficulties. Our service approach includes oral motor work, sensory-based food exploration and caregiver collaboration.
Understanding your child’s mealtime needs
Questions you can bring
- My child avoids particular foods or textures.
- Bottle, cup, utensil or solid-food transitions are difficult.
- I have questions about chewing or swallowing.
- Mealtimes have become difficult for our family.
Start with the full picture
Tell the clinic about your child’s usual foods, relevant medical history and what happens during meals. Mention coughing, choking, pain or growth concerns when arranging care so the appropriate evaluation can be discussed. Food selectivity and swallowing difficulty are different concerns; care should be based on the individual assessment.
Explore mealtimes together
In our daily living and feeding room, activities are guided by your child’s assessment and mealtime goals. For a child who avoids certain foods, therapy may include opportunities to explore and engage with those foods. The therapist considers sensory needs and comfort as the session unfolds and discusses progress with you afterward.
