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 in-home physical therapy services are tailored for children with a range of physical and developmental needs, including:
Helping children speak more clearly and effectively to improve their communication with others.
Supporting both expressive (speaking) and receptive (understanding) language skills for effective communication.
Enhancing social communication, language comprehension, and interaction skills for children on the autism spectrum.
Providing strategies and support to help children speak with ease and confidence.
Teaching children how to interact socially, understand cues, and engage in conversations.
Developing large muscle movements necessary for activities like walking, running, jumping, and climbing.
Improving stability and motor control to support safe movement and prevent falls.
Building muscle strength and endurance to support active play, participation in sports, and daily activities.
Enhancing joint and muscle flexibility to increase mobility and reduce stiffness.
Supporting optimal posture and alignment to help children sit, stand, and move comfortably.
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.
