Our
Approach

Feeding is a complex process that goes beyond the act of simply eating food. We consider various aspects of feeding and provide individualized feeding plan that works at your home. 

We are aligned with BITES®, The Behavioral InTEgrated with Speech approach, that emphasizes the multidisciplinary collaboration among Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) when assessing feeding difficulties and develop individualized feeding plan.                       

Components of Behavioural Intervention

Appetite 

Manipulation

Optimize the child's appetite by structuring their daily routine

Simultaneous Presentation

Pair preferred food with target food to increase successful consumption

 Choice

Offer choices and allow the child some control to promote more active participation in eating

Systematic 
Desensitization

Break the process into steps and gradually shape the child's eating behavior

Fading

Slowly fade out the preferred food while increasing the consumption of the target food

Reinforcement

Apply positive or negative reinforcement to encourage the desired eating behavior

Non-contingent Reinforcement

Create a positive connection with eating by combining it with a pleasant environment

High Probability Sequence

Encourage trying a new or more challenging food after eating few bites of an easy and preferred one

Escape

Prevention

Utilize trauma-informed approaches to help the child successfully engage in desired eating behaviors without distress
