🍽️ Helping Little Ones Thrive at Mealtime 💛

At Sentara Therapy Center, we specialize in pediatric feeding therapy—supporting children with utensil use, oral motor skills, and picky eating habits. Often, picky eating is rooted in sensory challenges, since eating involves all the senses!

✨ Using a variety of of approaches to provide individualized feeding therapy, such as SOS feeding, our therapists create a safe, child-led environment where kids can explore new foods through messy, fun food play—like painting with pudding or yogurt to learn shapes and textures.
One of our amazing kiddos recently hit a big milestone: he’s now independently using a spoon to eat cereal with milk! With the right tools and support, he’s also learned to open food containers—an important skill for school lunches!
💬 His mom shared: "With the help of Ms. Tammy, his fine motor skills and eating abilities have improved so much. He can now scoop with a regular spoon and eat with utensils, which he couldn’t do before. We’re so happy he started going here and can’t wait to see how he continues to improve!"

If you’re feeling stuck with your child’s feeding challenges, our skilled pediatric speech and occupational therapists at Sentara Therapy Center locations are here to help. Talk to your pediatrician about a referral today or contact us at 855-852-9066 to schedule an appointment.
