Helping Picky Eaters in Brooklyn

At Prospect Kids, we specialize in feeding therapy services for infants and toddlers in Brooklyn, NY, focusing on overcoming challenges related to feeding, oral motor skills, and swallowing. Whether your child has been diagnosed with a pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) or is simply a picky eater, our expert therapists provide the tools, strategies, and encouragement needed to help them thrive.

We know that feeding disorders affect more than just nutrition—they impact a child's confidence, the entire family's daily routine, and overall quality of life. That’s why we create therapy plans that support the whole child and those who care for them.

Evidence-Based Feeding Therapy for Children

Our approach to feeding therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine your child’s unique needs. This includes assessments of oral motor function, language development, sensory responses, and behaviors around food.

Based on these findings, our experienced therapists design personalized sessions to address issues such as:

Tongue movement and jaw strength
Difficulty chewing and swallowing
Selective eating and limited food variety
Mealtime behavior and anxiety

Supporting Families Through Customized Feeding Plans

Feeding therapy at Prospect Kids is collaborative. Our team works closely with families, ensuring they’re part of every step of the process. Parents and caregivers receive hands-on coaching and practical tools for mealtime routines, language modeling, and food presentation strategies at home.

We understand how challenging it can be when mealtimes become a source of stress. That’s why our sessions are structured to build confidence, encourage exploration, and bring joy back to eating—for both the child and the family.

Helping Your Child Build a Positive Relationship With Food

Our skilled therapists implement a variety of techniques to promote healthy eating habits:

Oral motor exercises to improve swallowing and speech coordination
Sensory desensitization to reduce food-related anxiety
Play-based exposure to new foods, textures, and temperatures
Positive reinforcement to support progress and engagement

Whether your child is experiencing food aversions, gagging, or low oral intake, our therapy programs are designed to promote lasting change.

Feeding Therapy Sessions Designed With Care

Our individualized sessions are held in a warm, child-friendly environment where therapists use interactive techniques to build comfort with food. Over time, children develop the oral strength, coordination, and confidence to eat safely and enjoy a broader range of foods.

We continually monitor progress, update therapy goals, and work with caregivers to maintain consistency across environments—at home, daycare, or preschool.
