Feeding Therapy: Why We Do It This Way

Why use feeding rating scales?
They let kids share how a food feels without pressure to eat and help us track progress—even before bites happen.

Why ask kids to describe foods?
Words make foods predictable. Predictability reduces fear and builds comfort.

Why picnic-style instead of table work?
Less pressure = better regulation. A calm body is more open to learning and trying.

Feeding therapy isn’t about forcing bites.
It’s about safety, trust, and small wins that lead to big progress.

Literacy looks like this.

A child curled up with a book.
A room full of stories.
Time to slow down and let language grow.

Reading together supports:
• Vocabulary development
• Listening comprehension
• Sound awareness and early phonics
• Narrative skills (beginning, middle, end)
• Attention and memory
• A love of learning that lasts far beyond childhood

In speech therapy, books are powerful tools. They give us natural opportunities to model language, ask questions, make predictions, and connect words to real experiences.

The more words children hear, see, and interact with, the stronger their communication foundation becomes.

Fill their days with stories.
The skills will follow.

🎲 Why games matter in therapy (and at home) 🎲

This might look like just a game… but so much learning is happening here.

Games like this help build:
✔️ Turn-taking & waiting
✔️ Following directions
✔️ Attention & focus
✔️ Number sense & early math
✔️ Problem-solving
✔️ Flexible thinking
✔️ Emotional regulation (winning and losing)
✔️ Social language & conversation skills

And maybe the most important skill of all?
✨ Connection.

When kids are engaged, relaxed, and having fun, learning sticks. Games give us a natural, low-pressure way to practice big skills in a small, joyful moment.

So yes—we play in therapy.
Because play is powerful. 🧠💛
