Mealtime Group

This group is for children with oral defensiveness.

As a parent, you may see them as fussy eaters, refusing certain foods based on colour, texture or temperature. This can lead to whole food groups being excluded and their diet becoming quite restricted.

In the group, we explore different foods in a fun, non-threatening way.  We explore food through play, encouraging the kids to touch and interact with the food items. The ultimate goal is that they become familiar with a  certain food, and eventually develop the confidence to try new foods.

As with all our groups, parents and caregivers are provided with strategies and ideas to practise at home to continue the learning and ensure lasting change.
