Why does sensory play matter? 🌈🫧🖐️
Sensory play helps children explore the world through touch, movement, sound, sight, and smell… all while building important developmental skills.

This week we spiced things up in our feeding group! 🇲🇽This week’s group was all about a Mexican-themed feeding adventure for our picky eaters! From exploring new textures to trying bold flavors, our little learners practiced tasting & expanding their food horizons in a fun, low-pressure way. 🌮

We 🩷 school holidays! Swipe for some great ways to encourage language development over the break or on the weekends. 👶🏻👧🏻

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter & safe long weekend! 🐣 A reminder that our clinic is closed, and will re-open on Tuesday 7th April. 🐰

Textures! 🥪 🍎
We know that food aversions are often linked to texture, not just taste. This week, we focused on building texture awareness during feeding therapy, to increase understanding & reduce fear of trying new foods. 🍪

We tried a range of textures, discussed individual preferences and documented the food on the whiteboard, highlighting how different mouthfuls can impact comfort and enjoyment. 🍦

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ We celebrated by having a green themed feeding session! 🥑🥝🥦🥒 Colour themes are such a fun way to explore new foods. We ate some safe foods (grapes) as well as new foods (broccoli)!
