Helping families achieve stress free mealtimes        

Treatment 

During the assessment appointment we will aim to explain your child’s eating pattern and to give you some practical advice to take home. We will also discuss with you whether further treatment options are both possible and appropriate, depending on your child’s age and developmental stage. A treatment plan would include specific goals and a timescale to work with. Follow-up support may involve further face to face appointments, and/or advice over the telephone or via email.  

Here are some examples of what we may be able to do:

Work with your child

• messy play to help with sensory sensitivity

• teaching them techniques to manage their anxiety around food and eating situations
• helping them try new foods

Work with you

• increasing your knowledge of your child’s eating behaviour
• improving your confidence with managing your child’s eating
• working on more in-depth strategies to help your child

Work with other professionals

• helping to develop a shared understanding about the nature of your child’s eating difficulties
• involving them directly in specific treatment plans e.g. nursery staff carrying out a messy play programme
