Feeding Wellness Program
Feeding difficulties are a common feature in the profiles of children we work with every day. It is an issue that threatens parenting at the very core of their beings, the ability to nurture their child. In our program we would like to take care of most of the aspects related to feeding, including the neuro-physiological, structural, sensory-motor, and emotional influences. We do not take care of medical situations that require the care of a physician.
We see feeding, as Kay Toomey (SOS program) so aptly puts it, as the tip of the iceberg with many layers of work underneath. Families complete an initial intake phone consultation and complete an extensive questionnaire to assist us in knowing where to start for each family.
We are not a strictly behavioral approach to feeding and have formed a program combined of different programs existing today. We do not believe in force-feeding or a battle of wills. Our program is designed for families that are interested in a developmental and intrinsically motivated approach to feeding.
Who Can Benefit:
The program consists of individualized sessions that may result in pairing up with other children in dyads or groups depending on the situation of each child/ family.
