If another child or adult would attempt to play then, Winston would simply grab his toys and walk to another area to be alone. Winston has been working for several weeks on parallel play with an adult and has improved with every session. Winston played a pig game, with prompting, for 15 minutes with another child today!!! 🙌🏼 This is such a huge milestone for you, bud!! We are so proud!! 💗

Picky Eaters & Problem Feeders

🌳Picky Eaters & Problem Feeders🌳

Is your child a picky eater or problem feeder? We understand the mealtime stressors, worry over nutrition, grocery store meltdowns, and desperation for your child to just eat. We are dedicated to help find the underlying reason why your child is having these challenges to get addressed by the right specialists. Occupational Therapy Providers are the right fit for children with sensory challenges who hate certain textures in their mouth, avoid things on their skin like messy/sticky and just the look at certain foods cause a melt down. OTs also help when there is an adaptation needed because of a motor skill or deformity so a child can help physically feed themselves such as a spoon with a built up handle, plate that sticks to the table or other so many other adaptive feeding equipment. Speech Language Pathologists are the best fit when a child has difficulty swallowing (choking, coughing, gaging) or poor oral motor skills and mouth strength that make chewing and moving food around in their mouth difficult. Behavioral Therapy helps to break down those barriers when your child gets stuck on certain foods, has tantrums at mealtime, or has developed undesirable behaviors around mealtime (throwing, avoidance etc) without a physical cause that OT & ST can address. Mental Health Therapy addresses the emotional aspect of feeding that often develops when a physical problem has occurred. Children who have has pain of acid reflux, a choking experience, body dysmorphia and more have have developed fears around eating. Often children with complex feeding challenges may need a team of difference therapists to address all aspects of their feeding.
