[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't see if you posted where you live - but in MOCO Infants and Toddlers can help with feeding issues (after a medical clearance) and it's completely free if you are found eligible.  If you are in DC or VA they have early intervention services but I believe there is a sliding fee.  Dr. Chatoor at Children's in DC is an expert in feeding issues.  You could also find a speech therapist that specializes in feeding issues or an OT.  If you go to Children's, they take insurance.[/quote]

I am many years out from the FTT and food aversion period of our lives.  I am glad to hear that MoCo added feeding issues to the infants and toddlers services.  The County did not offer then when my son was little and the social worker and psychologist didn't have any recommendations.  It was a scary time.  In addition to Children's Kennedy krieger in Baltimore has a feeding program.  At far as speech therapists, The Language Experience has therapists who are trained in feeding therapy.[/quote]
