All sessions have a purpose and will include foods selected and prepared specifically for your child.  Foods will cover the following categories...

​

Nutrition category

• Protein

• Starch

• Fruit/Veg

Texture category

• Puree

• Hard Munchable

• Dissolvable

• Soft solids

• Hard solids

​

I provide and prepare these foods for our session, along with providing all equipment needed to play and explore.

​

Your individualised plan will be supported afterwards by a summary email, education and goals to work on at home.

​

Number of sessions can range from 6-12 depending on your child.

​

Having fun while exploring foods is critical!! Building positive experiences around food helps reduce fear therefore helping your child expand their diet.

​

During sessions we will...

• Play games

• Create food art

• Have competitions rolling, blowing or squishing foods

• I never expect them to eat (no pressure but they can eat if they choose to!)

​

Routine of the session:

• Short physical activity

• Bubble blowing

• Cleaning the table

• Lay out plates/equipment

• Food exploration one at a time (7-10 foods per session)

• Cleaning up

• Goodbye for now

​

​

For feeding therapy to work best, Parents/Carers need to be involved as well... in the session and at home!

​

During Sessions:

• Join in therapy session

• Be a role model

• Learn phrases to support your child's eating

• Learn how to avoid pressure

• Do not expect your child to eat any foods - just join in the fun of the session and see what happens!

​

At Home:

• Follow through on what is learned during the sessions

• Learn how to set up structure and routine

• Learn how to offer food - texture, nutrition and other sensory needs for your child's success

​

Communication is essential between us - I value your input at all times and will adjust my approach to suit you and your child.
