In this episode of In Session, we’re diving into the world of feeding therapy — exploring how sensory, motor, and emotional factors all play a role in a child’s relationship with food.
Join Westside’s feeding specialists — Rebecca Lonkar, MHS, CCC-SLP/COM/L, Mary Smyers-Karaffa, SLPD, MS, CCC-SLP/L, and Kristalyn Turner, MS, CCC-SLP — as they unpack common challenges families face at mealtime, from picky eating and oral aversion to difficulty chewing or swallowing.
Together, they share insights into how feeding therapy helps children build confidence and comfort with food, while empowering parents with strategies that make mealtimes more positive and less stressful.
Listeners will discover how thoughtful, collaborative feeding support can transform mealtime into an opportunity for connection, growth, and joy.
