Being a Responsive Feeding Therapist means working as a team with families to build chewing skills.
When we provide connection and using tools that families feel comfortable with, we create consistent, gentle opportunities for kids to grow their skills at their own pace.

We are excited to announce that Emma Maher is joining us to present on how to work with a lactation consultant at our infant feeding workshop next year!

Emma has worked in nursing (surgical and mental health), midwifery and child and family nursing, and has supported families in the Hunter Valley region as an IBCLC for the past six years. She loves her job and gets so much joy from working with families to achieve feeding goals.

We can't wait for you to hear Emma speak! Join us online on February 26th-27th 2026. Tickets in the link in our bio or via our website www.feedingtherapyaustralia.com.au

As responsive feeding therapists, we use tools like the IDDSI rated flow test to make sure drinks are just the right thickness to support safe, confident drinking for kids with dysphagia. It’s all about meeting children where they’re at and helping them thrive, one sip at a time.

We are excited to welcome back Lauren Gladman, Dietitian, who will be presenting on growth, nutrition, and the importance of working with a paediatric dietitian when supporting infant feeding.

If you missed our infant feeding workshop two years ago or are keen to build your confidence and skills in supporting babies and toddlers with feeding difficulties, head to our website www.feedingtherapyaustralia.com.au to buy your ticket.

We hope to see you there!

When Speech Pathologists and Dietitian's work together, we get the full picture: how a child eats and what they eat. Working together helps families feel supported from every angle: oral motor skills, sensory needs, mealtime routines, growth, and nutrition.

It can mean fewer appointments, clearer guidance, and a plan that truly fits each child. Because feeding isn’t “just eating”… it’s a whole-body, whole-family experience and no one should navigate it alone.

Burger night = connection night! Cooking as a family builds trust, curiosity, and confidence which are all key ingredients in a responsive feeding approach.

A sneak peek into the life of Val, one of the co-directors of Feeding Therapy Australia.

When she is not supporting her team, she is either studying for her PhD or supporting teaching at universities.

Here is a screenshot of a lovely email sent to her by a speech pathology student who recently attended her lectures.

We always try to recognise our clients and families for their hard work, so sometimes, it's equally lovely to receive this recognition ourselves.

Have a lovely week!

Ever wondered what goes on in the life of a Responsive Feeding Therapist?

In the coming weeks, we will give you sneak peeks into how we support children in feeling safe, confident, and connected around food.

Debbie here — Val’s doing important research work that will ultimately help all of us, so I would love to see more families involved.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please consider passing it on. Every bit of support helps. Thanks
