Our Heart and Soul is Our Team of Feeding Therapists
Our feeding therapists are some of the most highly trained feeding therapists around. We have taken extensive coursework in feeding. While many claim to be feeding therapists, they usually lack most of the foundational courses in feeding therapy, and sometimes don't have any specialty training in feeding at all. Unfortunately, not all Speech and Occupational therapists can or should be providing this extremely detailed and delicate therapy. Because of the fragile natures of the sensory system, our picky eaters are vulnerable to actually become worse with the wrong type of treatment approaches.
Our Approach
We use a play based approach using the SOS approach to feeding, which is the most widely researched and successful model for feeding therapy. We never force children to eat foods they are not ready to handle. Doing do can result in catastrophic regression and worsening of their condition. We also are all trained to provide oral motor therapy to remediate poor chewing and tongue skills. WE used a combination of oral motor and sensory to get to the root issues of why your child won't eat food.
