What are the goals of Feeding Therapy?
-
Recognise and assess crucial milestones in areas such as oral-motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive understanding, and emotional aspects of feeding. Tailor interventions to target specific developmental aspects for comprehensive progress.
-
Foster the development of essential feeding skills, including self-feeding and positive mealtime behaviors. Introduce a range of foods gradually to broaden the child's palate, encouraging acceptance and exploration.
-
Concentrate on improving children's nutritional intake by addressing specific dietary needs, preferences, and any obstacles that may hinder proper nourishment. Ensure a balanced diet that supports overall growth and development.
-
Work closely with families to establish and attain personalised feeding objectives. Offer support, education, and practical strategies to empower both caregivers and children in achieving their desired outcomes for successful feeding
