If you have been to our parent coaching sessions or your child is currently in feeding therapy, you will know all about family meals and therapy meals. We've put together a list of all the things you will need for each.
Family Meals
- Fun Sponges can be used when washing hands before family meals. This can help provide sensory preparation.
- We have discussed that adequate seating is important during mealtimes. Our favourite chair is the Tripp Trapp chair.
- Placemats should be used as a positive environmental cue. These should be a block colour. These are only used at family meals and not therapy meals.
- A learning plate can be used if your child does not want certain foods on their plate. This should be a white plate.
- A small bin or tupperwares may be helpful as part of your clean up routine.
Therapy Meals
- Bubbles for sensory preparation
- A bucket, soap and fun sponges for washing hands
- A large bag for all the food
- A small towel or face cloth
- White plates
- Clear cups
- A small bin
- Stickers!
