Regardless of whether a child has autism or a related disorder, our specialists provides interdisciplinary assessment and behavior treatment of children between 12 months and 21 years of age with feeding disorders.

• Poor weight gain
• Feeding tube dependence
• Bottle or formula dependence
• Mealtime tantrums, or mealtimes exceeding 40 minutes
• Distress and anxiety with new foods
• Inability to increase textures
• Inability or refusal to feed oneself
