Unlike other programs that require families to uproot their lives, we designed ours to fit your busy life. Even our most intensive program can be done with low to no disruption to your daily routines
We support your day-to-day environment
Unlike hospital-based programs that can be cold, medically-focused and not reflective of real-world environments, our programs are completed from the comfort of your own home
We focus on your entire family
While other feeding programs focus solely on the child, we involve the entire family to preparer family you for long-term success
Whether you’re seeking proactive strategies to encourage successful eaters or support for established, complex feeding challenges, Focused Approach provides solutions to help children thrive!
Explore the Levels of Support We Offer
Get Started!
Before starting a program, we require an evaluation / intake appointment to determine the most appropriate level of support for your child’s specific needs.
The evaluation appointment will last a total of 90 – 120 minutes. We use this time to discuss your challenges, concerns, and questions. We will then observe your child eat, drink and play, as applicable. At the conclusion of our time together, we will outline and agree on the goals for your child’s therapy program and schedule you / your child’s first therapy session.
At 8 months, my son struggled to eat, spitting out food due to tongue movement issues. The therapist quickly identified the problem, and within a few sessions, his food intake doubled. I learned how to teach him to chew and swallow, and now, at 11 months, he’s an eating machine. I highly recommend this program!

Dinnertime is much less stressful now—our daughter knows she can handle it and understands the impact of her choices. With commitment to the program, your child will eat new foods and feel less anxiety around meals!
Lila C. Parent of 12 year old
Focused Approach transformed my daughter’s life, helping her overcome ARFID and emetophobia. She went from a feeding tube to eating over 2,000 calories a day, orally, in less than three months. This program was truly our family’s lifesaver!
Carolyn Witrock, BCBA, Mother of 12 year old
Prior to using Focused Approach we were at a standstill. Our son was not chewing and we were going from clinic to clinic. Since working with Dena, we are actually able to go to restaurants. We have a life now!
