Meal times

All children sometimes need a little extra help to master a new skill like using a knife and fork.

In our video we show you a fun, evidence based approach, that helps you support your child to feel confident whilst learning new skills and having fun.

If you are concerned about the physical aspect of eating, drinking and swallowing please refer to speech and language therapy - feeding and swallowing.

For more information about how sensory processing differences can effect children's eating please go to the Fussy feeders workshop.

Please note that our service does not accept referrals for children whose difficulties are solely related to restricted eating as a result of sensory processing differences.
