Meet Connie, a licensed OT with a lot of Feeding training under belt. She is one of the BEST in the industry and we are so excited to have her host our Feeding Course. Buckle up because Ms. Connie will help you bring the fun back to mealtime.

Ms. Connie discusses physical vs. behavioral feeding difficulties. This is a great first step into discovering what your child needs. As a mom Ms. Connie sympathizes with what you are going through, and is here to be part of your village.

Connie breaks down a few things that parents/guardians can do at home in order to benefit their child at mealtime. She recommends a few minor lifestyle changes on the parent/guardian side that can assist in making mealtime enjoyable again!

Take a field trip to our very own feeding kitchen in our clinic to see our set up of feeding visuals and learn the importance of these visuals for children. We have attached the visuals we use if you would like to use them in your own home, there are many ways to do this so don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun!

In this lesson Ms. Connie shares her favorite feeding tools. Every child is different so it is all about finding what works best for your family. Some of these may seem a little silly but it is all about making mealtimes fun and less scary.
