  • Small Feeding Groups

    • Lunch Bunch and Snack Attack are designed to encourage healthy eating habits and increase the variety of foods your child is willing to eat. Once you and your child have mastered the skills in Lunch Bunch/Snack Attack, you will have the option of moving forward with either Garden Groupies or the Body Builders. Both programs are designed to provide an additional 6 weeks of feeding therapy. Garden Groupies focuses on increasing fruits and veggies, and the Body Builders works towards incorporating additional proteins and grains into the diet. This is accomplished through:

      • Parent and child education

      • Fun sensory based activities

      • Positive peer influence

      • Child participation in making their own meals

    • Once a week for 6 weeks, small groups of 3-4 children will meet with our feeding therapists and participate in fun and creative food-based activities that will educate them about different food groups, various types of healthy foods, and how we can make eating and trying new foods an enjoyable experience. There will be a different theme each week and parents will partner together to discuss how they can carry the theme and strategies into their mealtimes at home. Are you ready to get started? Let's Eat!!
