Feeding Therapy

Pediatric Feeding Therapy in Fort Worth

Helping kids feel more confident, and less stressed around food.

Does my child need feeding therapy?

If mealtimes have become a daily struggle, your child will only eat a few food choices, gags easily, or you’re worried about how little they’re eating, pediatric feeding therapy can help.

At Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic, our licensed therapists take a sensory-informed, child-centered approach to feeding. We help children improve oral motor skills, increase food variety, and feel more at ease at the table.

What We Help With

We support children who experience:

Picky eating or food refusal
Gagging, choking, or difficulty chewing
Sensitivity to certain textures, temperatures, or flavors
Delays in transitioning to solids or table foods
Trouble moving food around in the mouth
Anxiety or stress around eating

Creating Positive Mealtimes

Feeding therapy isn’t about forcing bites. It’s about creating positive food experiences rooted in trust, safety, and small wins. Our therapists combine sensory integration techniques with oral motor skill-building to help children expand their comfort with eating—at their pace.

We also coach parents and caregivers on what to do at home to reduce stress and support long-term progress.

Is Feeding Therapy Right For Your Child?

If your child avoids certain foods or eating feels like a constant battle, you’re not alone. We’re here to help you understand what’s normal, what’s not, and what steps to take next.
