Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy at Sanctum isn’t an afterthought—it’s a cornerstone. We’ve built one of the most advanced, collaborative feeding programs in Texas, led by highly trained occupational and speech therapists working together to support children with sensory, oral-motor, and swallowing challenges.Through our comprehensive internal training program, therapists receive the tools, mentorship, and hands-on experience needed to confidently treat even the most complex feeding cases. Whether you're early in your career or ready to specialize, there’s no better place to grow as a feeding therapist.Care is delivered in-home, in-clinic, and virtually—wherever it best supports the child and family.

Our Approach

Our approach to pediatric feeding therapy is personalized, family-centered, and play-based, making mealtimes less stressful and more enjoyable for children. We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand each child’s unique needs, including sensory preferences, oral-motor skills, and mealtime behaviors. Based on this, we create a customized treatment plan that supports their developmental stage and feeding goals. Our therapists use engaging, child-friendly activities to build comfort with food, promote positive eating experiences, and support safe, effective feeding. Parents and caregivers are essential partners in the process, and we provide hands-on coaching and strategies to encourage continued progress at home.
