Description
Let’s assume that a child has 3 meals and 2 snacks per day. A therapist treating that child may see them twice a week, leaving that caregiver with 33 opportunities each week to continuing addressing feeding!
Looking at these numbers, it’s easy to see that equipping the caregiver with the tools and strategies to encourage their child’s progress is paramount.
This resource packet focuses on the approach of food chaining, a proven, positive approach to increasing the variety of a child’s diet and nutritional intake. Included in this resource packet, you’ll find the following:
- 1 page handout for caregivers: explanation of food chaining, visual example and brief research synopsis
- 5 tips for success: suggestions to set the caregiver and child up for success
- 15+ food exploration activity ideas: play-based approaches for purees, solids and everything in between!
- 2 page food repertoire questionnaire: a print and go list for the caregiver to complete, giving the therapist and parent an idea on the patterns and preferences of a child’s current feeding repertoire, along with where they can begin the food chaining process
- Notes for at-home approaches: note template with important takeaways and pointers to support the caregiver during the at-home food chaining process.
