Some food selectivity is normal in toddlers, but a diet restricted to fewer than 15–20 foods, especially if causing nutritional concerns or extreme distress at mealtimes, warrants evaluation. ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a real condition that responds well to feeding therapy.

Feeding therapy addresses the underlying reasons for food refusal — sensory sensitivities, oral motor weakness, anxiety, swallowing difficulties. It uses systematic, evidence-based techniques to expand food acceptance in a positive, pressure-free way.

Some gagging during the introduction of solids (6–8 months) is normal. However, frequent gagging, vomiting, arching, or significant distress during feeding warrants evaluation. We assess whether the issue is sensory, oral motor, or a swallowing problem and design the appropriate program.
