Feeding Therapy
Lesson Outline
Santino was greeted happily by therapist. He was laughing and smiling upon greeting. He walked to the fridge with SLP to make 2 choices of food he would like to work on today in therapy. He did not pick however he did assist with carrying them back to his room independently. The Noose blueberry yogurt (new with therapist) and the Stonyfield organic yogurt pouches were the two purees. When SLP opened the Noose blueberry yogurt and mixed it up, Santino began to self feed with visual cues and positive reinforcement. After approximately 8 bites, SLP visually introduced pouch yogurt (the same brand Santino had a difficult time with last session). He appeared to tolerate the new yogurt well. He watched as SLP placed pouch yogurt into the Noose yogurt - he did not push the yogurt away which is a positive change. He continued to take bites with both the Noose and pouch yogurt. Eventually, SLP placed pouch yogurt on spoon (only) and Santino continued to accept without aversion. When offered the pouch to express from the pouch itself, Santino opened his mouth hesitantly 3x w/ SLP expressing the yogurt. When placed in Santino's hands to self feed, he did so with hesitance. SLP assisted in expression 3x. It was a great visual transition for Santino. Strawberry pop-tart bites were introduced and Santino immediately pushed them away and refused to interact with solid food at that time. He did assist with clean up at the end. When cued to take them out of the bag, smell, or touch them - he refused and turned away. He took 3 sips from Nestle water bottle - he refused initially however with hand over hand and verbal cues, he independently took 3 small sips. He is continuously making progress every week! He remained calm and happy throughout session. I am proud of him.
