Mealtime Connections,
LLC brings together a group of professionals who are passionate about
understanding and treating infants and young children with complicated
eating issues. We partner with families to discover the child's strengths
and weakness and construct strategies that will foster trust and confidence
in children with these special issues. In our experience, we have found
this partnership to be essential in creating enjoyable, safe and healthy
mealtimes.
Mealtime Connections offers occupational therapy, speech therapy and
developmental support for children with feeding challenges. We support
infant and childhood eating issues influenced by prematurity, neuromuscular
or genetic issues, visual impairments, developmental and experiential
issues. We see children with multiple variations of sensory challenges
including children who are "picky eaters", nervous about foods and mealtime
sensations, those on the autism spectrum, and those who are fed by tube
and moving in the direction of oral eating.
Our support services include:
- Feeding evaluations
- Feeding consultations
- Comprehensive developmental evaluations
- Direct occupational and speech therapy for feeding and mealtimes
- Mealtime groups for children
- Support groups for families
- Mealtime continuing education series for professionals as well as
parents
- Seminars for professionals and parents on mealtime issues.
