Our daughter came to Kidspeech with a feeding disorder. She had been on a feeding tube since 6 months old and would only take a bottle at 18 months. Nothing was allowed to touch her mouth, especially food. We had already tried another program at a different facility to try and get her to eat with no success. When we came to Kidspeech, she would “get sick” on the way in the door, on the way back to therapy and in therapy. I was so worried about her, but the therapist reassured me she would be able to eat table food soon. Our therapist taught us how to work with our daughter to get her to accept touch and food around her mouth. She began to eat and our therapist set her goal to eat chicken nuggets. Our baby is 2 years old, and after only 6 months of therapy, has had her feeding tube removed and eats everything. Her favorite treats are Tootsie Rolls. (sticky, gooey, Tootsie Rolls) Go figure! Thanks to Kidspeech, we are on our way.
