"SLEA feels like a family to me! When you love what you do, it never really feels like work. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have amazing mentors and leaders who have supported and guided me over the past 11 years. Finding a company filled with people who are just as passionate as I am about providing these services and supporting our clients and families feels like I’ve truly hit the jackpot!"

Before a child takes a bite, there are many important steps along the way. 🍎🥄

Children may be overwhelmed due to:
➡️Sensory sensitivities
➡️Anxiety
➡️Motor challenges

That's why our OT team often use the Feeding Hierarchy—a gradual, child-centered approach that helps children build comfort and confidence with food at their own pace.

Every stage is meaningful:
🩵 Tolerating – Being near food without distress
💜 Interacting – Playing with or exploring food without pressure to eat
💙 Smelling – Getting familiar with different scents
💚Touching – Exploring food with hands or utensils
💛 Tasting – Tiny tastes, licks, or kisses
🧡 Eating – Taking bites and enjoying a variety of foods

Progress doesn't always begin with taking a bite—and that's okay!

At SLEA Therapies, our occupational therapists partner with families to create individualized strategies that support safe, enjoyable, and successful feeding experiences 💙
