Little Gritter eaters
June 4th - August 15th
Our Little Gritter Eaters Feeding Groups are designed for children ages 1-4 years of age to gain skills necessary to improve their diet, nutrition, ability to eat, and interactions with others at mealtime. This group will provide opportunities for children with feeding difficulties to interact with and explore a variety of foods in a peer setting within a controlled environment.
A group therapy setting provides children with the opportunity to generalize skills learned in individual therapy and practice skills in a social setting. This new and exciting option for therapy services is motivating for both children and parents.
