FEEDING AND SWALLOWING ASSESSMENT

Our trained therapists specialise in assessing and treating feeding difficulties in infants and children, as well as conducting swallowing assessments for adults. Feeding issues can stem from structural differences or sensory challenges. Early assessment is crucial, especially for fussy eaters, children with poor weight gain, or those experiencing mealtime struggles. Feeding therapy may benefit children who gag, avoid certain textures, or have limited food intake. We collaborate with dieticians and other professionals to develop tailored strategies for improvement. Assessment can be delivered in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin.

進食和吞嚥評估

在 Blackburn Speech Pathology，我們有經過培訓且經驗豐富的治療師，可以幫助有餵養困難的嬰兒和兒童，並為成人進行吞嚥評估/檢查。

由於結構差異或感官困難，可能會出現餵養困難。如果您的嬰兒在餵養方面有困難，或者您有一個非常挑食的孩子，那麼完成評估非常重要，以便我們可以治療潛在的問題。

如果您的孩子：

  • 是個挑剔的食客

  • 體重增加很差

  • 吃東西時吐出食物、嘔吐物、嘔吐物或從鼻子裡流出食物或飲料

  • 有頻繁的進餐時間戰鬥

  • 在 12 個月大時難以從果泥過渡到固體

  • 到 18 個月大時還沒有斷奶過嬰兒食品

  • 厭惡或避免特定質地或營養組

  • 不和家人吃同樣的飯菜

  • 在用餐時間經歷崩潰或哭泣

  • 攝入量非常有限或受限（少於 20 種食物）

我們的治療師與營養師和其他專業人士合作，幫助孩子改善和解決餵養困難。

請聯繫以安排初步諮詢。
