Eating & Feeding Support
Mastering the art of eating is vital for nourishing our bodies, connecting with our culture, and fostering social interactions. Yet, learning to eat can pose challenges, especially for parents of neurodivergent children striving to broaden their child's dietary choices. Our eating and feeding support services offer guidance for parents and neurodiverse children, helping them navigate mealtimes with ease, ensuring everyone enjoys happier and healthier dining experiences!
Our team can help with:
Setting up a mealtime routine
Introducing new foods
Expanding variety across food groups or food textures
Increasing independence with eating and drinking
Navigating anxiety and tricky behaviours during mealtimes
Our team work collaboratively with you and your whānau, to put together an evidence-based support plan that meets the needs of your child.
