Speech and Language Therapists will see infants and children who have eating, drinking and/or swallowing problems (dysphagia). This might be as a result of  physical or mechanical feeding difficulties and there is a higher incidence of swallowing difficulties with people with learning difficulties.

Once your child has been seen by a  Speech and Language Therapist, they will make make recommendations to support your child’s eating and drinking. These recommendations may include: messy food play; texture development; positioning of your child or the use of different utensils or ways of feeding.

*******Please note that we do not provide a service to children or young people who:

• Present with feeding difficulties as a result of sensory and/or behavioural issues affecting their eating and drinking.
• Are ‘fussy’ eaters
• Refuse to eat lumpy/chewy foods
• Generally refuse to eat
