Individualized Programs
Our therapists begin the program by identifying the underlying reasons your child is having a hard time eating. Based on that, we’ll develop a manageable treatment program that addresses both the nutritional and mechanical components of your child’s issue. Our treatment programs are designed using a multidisciplinary team approach which includes the child, parent or guardian, and assigned therapists from Carlin Speech. Programs are available in English and Spanish.
