In this companion part of our Let’s Eat series, our Occupational Therapist will guide you through exploring the environmental, motor and sensory factors that impact eating and provide practical strategies to improve your child’s tolerance of a variety of foods using a gradual, sensory-based approach.

Topics covered include: pre-requisite skills for eating, establishing positive mealtime routines, developing motor skills, steps to eating, food play, food chaining and sensory regulation for meal times. Resources will also be shared to support implementation of the strategies provided at home to ease mealtime stress for parents and caregivers.
