Our Commitment at The Compass Center we are dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based support for children and families struggling with feeding difficulties.

Our Team of highly skilled clinicians work closely with families and related services professionals to identify the root causes of feeding difficulties, which may include picky eating, food aversions, selective eating, or more complex issues that include texture sensitivities and mealtime behaviors.

The therapy may include:

Comprehensive Feeding Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the child’s feeding patterns, preferences, and any barriers to healthy eating. This assessment includes input from parents, caregivers, and other professionals involved in the child's care.

Individualized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a tailored plan is developed that outlines specific goals, strategies, and interventions aimed at improving feeding behaviors and expanding food acceptance.

Systematic Feeding Interventions: Evidence-based strategies, such as positive reinforcement, graduated exposure, and discreet shaping techniques, are used to gradually introduce new foods, reduce food aversions, and improve mealtime routines.

Parent and Caregiver Training: We believe in empowering families with the knowledge and skills to support their child’s progress. Parents and caregivers are trained on how to implement strategies at home, ensuring consistency and success across settings.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment: Progress is carefully monitored, and interventions are adjusted as needed to ensure continued growth and success. Regular follow-up sessions are conducted to address any new challenges or concerns.
