Pediatric Feeding Therapy in Maryland
TeleBites Virtual Pediatric Feeding Center offers remote teletherapy feeding services to residents of Maryland using a HIPPA-compliant platform. Founded by a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and feeding specialist with a passion for empowering parents to support their children in having a safe and enjoyable feeding experience. Having come from medical settings such as NICU, PICU, and inpatient rehabilitation, it became increasingly clear that families outside of urban areas have limited access to follow up services and feeding therapy. Our mission is to provide services to children and families who lack local resources by bringing them together with qualified feeding specialists. It is our belief that no child should go without services, regardless of limited community resources. From wait lists to denials, we understand all too well how challenging it can be to navigate support and service options. TeleBites Virtual Pediatric Feeding Center was created to bridge these gaps and improve access to services for all children.

We provide feeding and swallowing therapy
We believe that parents should feel confident about meeting their child’s nutritional requirements by learning to eat table foods, drinking from a straw, and learning to eat with a fork or spoon. Family meals can be enjoyable and stress-free by learning techniques to help children who refuse food or take extra long to eat a meal.
Children with sensory processing disorders can be sensitive to smells, textures, and tastes that can create a feeling of “sensory overload.” Certain textures of food can make kids have a strong reaction to or refuse to try new foods or only eat a very limited diet of preferred foods.
