Mobi Kids Feeding Therapy

Helping meal times become fun!

At Mobi Kids, we identify the root of your child’s feeding challenges and provide strategies to ensure safe, enjoyable mealtimes, making dining fun and easy for your child.

Feeding and swallowing

Addressing feeding difficulties early can help improve a child’s ability to eat a variety of foods, support proper nutrition, and enhance their mealtime experience. If your child is facing feeding challenges, speech pathologists can provide strategies and support for better feeding outcomes.

At Mobi Kids, we help your child overcome their challenges with the goal of fun, easy mealtimes. We assess your child to locate the root of their feeding disorder and provide strategies to support your child to have safe and happy mealtimes.

Our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists work closely together to help you find the right seating and equipment for your child.

What are some causes of feeding disorders?

Many infants experience challenges with feeding and swallowing which can affect the mealtime for the whole family. Feeding disorders can have several underlying causes, including:

  • Developmental delay
  • Neurological or genetic conditions
  • Children with complex medical history including tube feeding
  • Texture or flavour avoidance, and food refusal
  • Neurodiversity and Autism
  • Physical impairment

Signs that your child may be having difficulty at meals include:

  • Slow milk feeds that take more than 30mins
  • Coughing during food or drinks
  • Choking episodes
  • Food refusal or texture avoidance
  • Recurrent chest infections or pneumonia
  • A history of medical intervention involving the mouth or face
