Behavioral Feeding Therapy

Behavioral Feeding Therapy is a systematic approach designed to help individuals, often children, who struggle with eating or have feeding disorders. It focuses on changing negative behaviors and reinforcing positive eating habits through structured routines and strategies. Therapists work with families to create supportive eating environments, gradually introducing new foods and reducing anxiety around mealtimes. The goal is to improve nutrition, reduce food selectivity, and promote a healthy relationship with food, all while addressing any emotional or sensory sensitivities related to eating.
