ABA Feeding Therapy at Falcon ABA Care
At Falcon ABA Care, we understand that feeding challenges can significantly impact a child’s health, development, and family dynamics. Our ABA Feeding Therapy program is designed to address feeding difficulties, including limited food preferences, difficulty transitioning to solid foods, and behaviors that interfere with mealtime. Using evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies, we help children develop healthier feeding habits in a positive and supportive environment.

What is ABA Feeding Therapy?
ABA Feeding Therapy is a specialized approach that applies the principles of behavior analysis to address feeding issues in children. This therapy focuses on identifying and understanding the behaviors contributing to feeding difficulties and implementing strategies to encourage positive eating habits.

Our program is highly individualized, beginning with a comprehensive assessment to determine your child’s specific challenges, such as food aversion, oral motor skill deficits, or sensory sensitivities. Based on this assessment, our team develops a tailored intervention plan designed to meet your child’s unique needs.

How Does ABA Feeding Therapy Work?

1. Assessment and Goal Setting:
   A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the root causes of feeding challenges and establish measurable goals.
2. Individualized Treatment Plans:
   Each plan is customized to address your child’s specific feeding needs, such as increasing the variety of accepted foods, improving chewing and swallowing skills, or reducing negative mealtime behaviors like refusal or tantrums.
3. Positive Reinforcement Strategies:
   Using positive reinforcement, our therapists encourage your child to try new foods, maintain appropriate mealtime behaviors, and build confidence during feeding.
4. Gradual Exposure and Desensitization:
   We use gradual exposure techniques to help children overcome sensory sensitivities and food aversions.
5. Parental Collaboration:
   Parents are an integral part of our program. We provide training and guidance to ensure consistency in implementing strategies at home, helping your child generalize their skills across environments.

Who Can Benefit from ABA Feeding Therapy?
ABA Feeding Therapy is ideal for children who:

• Have a very limited diet or severe food aversions.
• Experience sensory sensitivities related to textures, smells, or tastes.
• Struggle with oral motor skills required for chewing or swallowing.
• Display challenging mealtime behaviors, such as throwing food, refusing to eat, or tantrums.
