If your kiddo is a picky eater, if your family meals require you to cook separate foods for your child, or if you are concerned about your child's nutrition because of the foods that they are refusing to eat, Feeding Therapy might be an option for you.
A few targets of Feeding Therapy include:
🥦 Increasing the ability to touch, manipulate, and eat foods of different textures, colors, tastes and temperatures.
🥕 Increasing the types of foods eaten (vegetables, fruits, etc.)
🍎 Increasing the ability to eat foods which are mixed.
🍍Self-feeding using utensils (rather than being fed by parents or self-feeding using hands)
🍇 Proper posture and form
🥑 Oral motor concerns during feeding tasks
