What Is Infant Feeding Therapy?
Infant feeding therapy helps babies who are having trouble eating, drinking, or swallowing safely. A speech therapist works with your baby and your family to figure out what's causing the trouble and teaches you simple strategies to make feeding times easier and safer. This support can happen at the hospital, at home, or through virtual visits.
A speech therapist can help with:
Trouble latching or feeding at the breast or bottle
Coughing, choking, or gagging during feeds
Slow weight gain or trouble finishing bottles
Difficulty moving from a feeding tube to eating by mouth
Signs that a baby may be swallowing unsafely (including support with swallow studies)
Transitioning to solid foods
Picky eating or strong reactions to new textures
Coordinating sucking, swallowing, and breathing during feeds
Transitioning to thickened liquids
Weaning from thickened liquids
Bottle refusal
Bottle flow rate assessment
We believe in meeting every child where they are. When a feeding concern calls for additional specialists or hands-on care, we'll help guide you through exactly who to see and why.

Comprehensive Evaluation:
Every great treatment plan starts with a thorough evaluation. Our comprehensive assessment combines standardized testing, structured observation, and detailed caregiver interview to identify the root of your child's speech, language, feeding, or communication concerns. Results are documented in a written evaluation report that includes diagnostic findings, functional impact, and individualized recommendations.
Therapy Session:
After your child's evaluation, we'll sit down together to walk through their results, explain our clinical recommendations, and map out a personalized plan of care that targets their specific goals. We'll also recommend the ideal session frequency and length based on your child's needs and our clinical findings. Every treatment plan includes caregiver education and a customized home exercise plan; so that you feel equipped and confident supporting your child's growth between sessions. From there, we'll check in regularly, celebrate progress, and adjust the plan as your child reaches new milestones.

Is Virtual Therapy Right for My Child?
Teletherapy offers convenient, effective one-on-one speech therapy for children through secure video conferencing. Services support voice, speech, language, and cognitive-communication needs. Research shows that teletherapy can be as effective as in-person care, while providing families with greater access to specialists, eliminating travel time, and offering flexible scheduling.
Prefer to be seen at home? In-home and hybrid services are available throughout Mecklenburg County and select surrounding areas in Charlotte. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.
Even children who are shy, anxious, or have sensory sensitivities can benefit from virtual therapy because sessions take place in a familiar, low-stress environment. Caregivers play an important role in supporting attention, helping with activities, and reinforcing skills between sessions, which can increase the effectiveness of teletherapy.
If you’re wondering whether virtual therapy is a good fit for your child, we encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to discuss your child’s needs and determine the best approach.
