Fussy Eating
Being trained in the fussy eating SOS (Sequential, Oral, Sensory) approach we can help you understand why your child chooses to eat the food they do and discuss evidence-based strategies to expand food preferences. We can help to identify any underlying issues around why your child is fussy and direct you to the appropriate investigations, dietary changes or refer to other allied health therapists who may help further.
When all other medical causes have been ruled out or if there is a strong indication diet could be playing a role we can discuss and guide you through an individualised Elimination diet or eating FAILSAFE. In our experience, diet is not considered often enough for the reasons behind fussy eating behaviours.
