About

At Way To Grow Therapies, we specialize in pediatric feeding and dysphagia therapy, focusing on helping infants, children, and teenagers overcome feeding challenges to develop safe and expansive eating habits for life. Our approach involves responsive feeding from breast/bottle stage through full table meals using play based feeding therapy focused on oral motor and sensory strategies. Feeding therapy is a science based art that builds and develops a loving relationship for your child with food. We are committed to establishing safe and positive eating environments. This means working hand in hand with our families to support the feeding journey of their child.
