About

We provide a family centred, holistic approach utilising a range of programs to best suit the individual child and their family. This includes sensory, motor, developmental, behavioural and emotional aspects of successful feeding. Feeding is a complex issue and can not be looked at in isolation. We strive to provide functional and practical advice and therapy goals relevant to each individual family and specific to their feeding journey. Our dedicated team is made up of experienced therapists who understand the complex interaction of multiple factors on successful mealtimes. As a dedicated team we are in constant communication with each other and the family regarding goals, achievements, challenges and successes which occur. We are the only private program of it’s kind operating in Australia to provide an intensive, multi-disciplinary team approach to the assessment and management of a range of feeding issues from tube weaning to challenging eaters.
