Brooklyn Feeding Academy is a family-centered practice that helps children and their families address feeding and swallowing challenges. Founded by Adam Kolesar, a speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders, the practice supports children ranging from picky eaters to medically fragile children who may rely on tube feeding. Its approach considers the child as a whole and involves the family in understanding mealtime difficulties and developing practical ways forward.

Services include feeding consultations, individualized evaluations, therapeutic planning, and support for oral motor function, which can benefit both eating and speech development. Assessments and therapy are conducted in the child’s home, where familiar routines and surroundings can inform the process. Depending on a child’s needs, the practice may use the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach, including individual or group work in twelve-week cycles. Some families may need a focused consultation, while others may benefit from a more involved therapeutic plan.
