Support Sensory Sensitivities™ Program

Sensory sensitivities could be preventing your child from eating well

Sensory sensitivities are different for everyone.

Sensory challenges are frequently an underlying factor in picky eating.

If your child shows sensory sensitivities in other areas it’s probably something you are alert to.

However, even if there are no other classic signs of sensitivities, your child is probably experiencing some sensory challenges if they they exhibit some of the signs below:

1. Understand why sensory processing challenges are an underlying factor

2. How to identify the sensitivities

3. Simple, gentle exercises to improve functioning

This is not about teaching your child to try food but working on the underlying challenges that may prevent them from doing so.

Spotting signs of sensory issues at play

  • Have you ever thought “this is more than just fussy eating?”
  • Does your child seem to really struggle with certain textures?
  • Have you seen absolute disgust when they see or smell or touch or taste something?
  • Do they gag at the thought of a food?
  • Or gag when they see, touch, smell, touch or taste something?
  • Have they told you certain things feel awful?
  • Do they refuse foods because there is a slight imperfection?

All of these are signs there are sensory sensitivities at play.

With AOTA accreditations in both sensory processing sensititivities and their specific impacts upon eating, I am well placed to help you unpack what is happening for your child and support you in finding solutions.

Ongoing learning is in my DNA, so I am consistently seeking knowledge that will enable me to better support parents of selective eaters to help their child eat widely and well.

I have long been fascinated by the way that sensory sensitivities can impact so dramatically on eating, so am delighted to finally be able to offer a course which addresses this specifically.

Your child not feeling uncomfortable seeing, touching, smelling or tasting a food is the goal!

When you book in for Support sensory sensitivities you will gain access to a comprehensive video taking you through the steps needed to help your child become less challenged in the sensory/food sphere.

Access in the comfort of your home.

Watch as many times as you like.
