Creating a Feeding Program for Children with ASD at Tayf Aziz Center

Key Components of the Feeding Program

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Each child undergoes a thorough assessment to identify specific feeding difficulties, sensory sensitivities, and any underlying medical factors that may affect their feeding.
2. Tailored Feeding Plans: Based on the assessment results, we create individualized feeding plans, considering each child's unique preferences, sensitivities, and goals.
3. Building Feeding Skills: Our team works closely with the child to develop and strengthen feeding skills, including self-feeding, acceptance of various textures, and appropriate mealtime behaviors.
4. Addressing Sensory Sensitivities: We focus on sensory integration, introducing new foods and expanding the child's food repertoire while addressing sensory sensitivities related to textures, tastes, and smells.
5. Parent and Caregiver Involvement: We believe parental involvement is crucial for the program's success. We provide education, strategies, and ongoing support to help parents and caregivers implement feeding techniques at home.
6. Collaborative Approach: Our interdisciplinary team collaborates closely, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive approach to feeding therapy, sharing progress and strategies.
