This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial, called Let's E.A.T., is testing whether virtual therapy sessions can help young children (under age 3) who have feeding tubes and tracheostomies learn to safely eat by mouth. Your child would join weekly group mealtime sessions with a therapist and other families, plus personalized one-on-one therapy at least twice a month. The therapy team includes speech therapists, occupational therapists, and nutritionists who specialize in helping children with complex medical needs.
Many young children with feeding tubes and tracheostomies struggle with eating safety and development. This trial exists to see whether structured virtual therapy — where families can participate from home and connect with other families in similar situations — can help these children progress toward eating by mouth in a safe, supported way.

You would start with an online consent meeting with the research team to review your child's medical history and feeding records. If your child is appropriate for the program, you'll join either the active therapy group or a social support group. The active therapy group attends a weekly virtual mealtime session with other families and a therapist, plus at least two personalized virtual therapy sessions per month tailored to your child's needs. The social support group meets weekly to connect with other families but receives less intensive therapy. All sessions happen online, so you participate from home.
