Yes. Many speech pathologists are trained to assess and support children with feeding and swallowing difficulties — a field known as paediatric dysphagia. Therapy may address:
-
Difficulty chewing or swallowing safely
-
Gagging or choking during meals
-
Oral motor development (tongue, jaw, lips)
-
Transitioning from tube feeding or purees to solids
-
Picky eating due to sensory issues
Therapists work alongside families and medical teams to ensure your child eats safely and comfortably.
