Feeding Therapy

Nurturing Positive, Healthy Relationships with Food.

The Positive Impact of Feeding Therapy

Mealtime can be a source of stress for children with feeding challenges. At Advanced Pediatric Care Center Inc., our therapy program creates a positive path toward safe eating for kids who need extra medical support. Our team brings deep compassion and experience, fostering nutritional well-being in a safe, supportive space for children with conditions like Dysphagia or G-tube dependence.

Nurturing Healthy Habits from Infancy to Young Adulthood

Developing healthy eating habits is a fundamental part of a child’s growth from birth to age 20. Inside our pediatric medical daycare in Tamarac, our child and understanding approach helps children overcome feeding difficulties, making mealtimes a more positive and successful experience for everyone.

Our Feeding Therapy Program Focuses On:

  • Our skilled therapists work to improve oral motor skills, coordination, and the ability to swallow safely and effectively.
  • For infants needing specialized help, our dedicated infant feeding specialist provides gentle, expert guidance to support their earliest nutritional needs.
  • Our feeding therapist for baby and older children helps expand food repertoires and reduce mealtime anxieties in a playful, encouraging way.

 

A Partnership in Your Child’s Care:

  • We prioritize creating a calm and child environment where your child feels safe, supported by our experienced team of Registered and Licensed Practical Nurses who adhere to a strict 1:6 maximum nurse-to-patient ratio.
  • A strong alliance with parents and pediatricians is crucial, allowing us to work together to ensure consistency and success in a child’s feeding journey.

 

Accessible and Supportive Services:

  • Our facility welcomes families from Tamarac, North Lauderdale, Oakland Park, and the wider surrounding region to access our specialized care.
  • As a dedicated PPEC provider, all our services, including feeding therapy for eligible children, are completely covered through Medicaid.
