We utilize a responsive approach to support feeding.
This means that we believe the relationship between you and your child is the foundation from which they will learn, and we will support and utilize that relationship to help your child build lifelong mealtime skills. We focus our support on both child and caregiver as we understand that both of you are equally important players in mealtimes. Our Feeding Therapists will work with you to identify your child’s unique strengths and challenges in order to provide individualized care. We recognize that you are the expert on your child, and will help us tailor our expertise to best fit the needs of your family.
