Specializing in private, in-home, and telehealth feeding therapy for infants, children, teens and adults with eating difficulties.

Eating is one of the most complex activities we do. It involves several processes in the body including sensory, oral-motor, muscle, neurological, digestive and behavioral systems. Difficulties with feeding can arise from any one of these systems, often involving more than one. Holly Knotowicz, M.S., CCC-SLP can help you identify those problem areas and develop a plan to best address them.

 

Schedule a session to explore any of the following potential feeding issues:

  • Picky Eaters

  • Difficulty with bottle feedings (challenges with sucking, swallowing and breathing coordination)

  • Difficulty with transition to solids

  • Difficulty with chewing (swallowing whole or spitting out bites after trying to chew)

  • Acceptance of purees

  • Transition from feeding tube to oral

  • Food allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and all Egids

  • Gagging/vomiting or avoidance/sensitive to certain food textures, temperature and/or flavors

  • Challenges surrounding oral management of food (moving food in their mouth)

  • Fear and refusal around new food presentations

  • Maladaptive mealtime behaviors (tantrums, throwing, hitting)

  • Prolonged mealtimes (longer than 30 minutes or preference to graze on foods all day)

  • Repairing relationship with eating following choking incidents

  • Pill swallowing and more…
