Helping Picky Eaters & Mealtime Struggles Across Lakewood Ranch & Sarasota County
If you’re searching for feeding therapy in Sarasota or Bradenton, you’re likely exhausted.
Mealtimes feel stressful.
Your child eats the same 5–10 foods.
You’ve tried bribing, negotiating, “just one bite,” and nothing works.
You are not alone — and this is more common than many parents in Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota realize.
At Edge Therapies, we provide pediatric feeding therapy in our Sarasota office to help children expand their diet, improve oral motor skills, and make mealtimes peaceful again.
Does Your Child…
Eat fewer than 15 foods?
Refuse entire textures (no mushy foods, no mixed foods, etc.)?
Gag or vomit with certain foods?
Take over an hour to finish meals?
Have difficulty chewing?
Struggle transitioning to solids?
Only eat “beige” or crunchy foods?
Melt down at the table?
These are signs your child may benefit from feeding therapy.
