Our initial assessment is a joint session with the speech pathologist and dietitian that includes talking to you about your concerns and meeting your child.
We will talk to you about your child's feeding, nutrition, and development, as well as assess their oral motor skills, observe a mealtime and assess their nutritional status and growth.
At the end of the assessment we will work with you to decide your child's goals to help them succeed at mealtimes.
Your therapists will recommend a plan for feeding therapy in the initial assessment.
Our therapists use evidence-based therapy approaches to help your child achieve their goals.
Therapy sessions will be individualised and focus on strategies to help your child progress with their feeding and nutrition.
We use coaching to support the parent-child feeding relationship and help you to build successful mealtimes.
Therapy session will occur regularly and will include ideas for you at home, to help your child get the most out of therapy.
