Feeding Therapy
Lesson Outline
Santino was greeted in his classroom by SLP. Per previous conversation between mother and SLP, the immediate and short term goals for Santino's feeding was to eat preferred food for other people in other environments. Upon arrival, his teacher informed SLP he had finished his protein drink via sippy at 1:00pm. It was addressed to hold off on providing a supplement drink right before feeding therapy as Santino will not be hungry for the session. The session started with Santino being presented with gold fish, apple jacks, and gummy bears. Santino verbally requested Goldfish crackers. With a model and verbal prompting, Santino took 6 crackers out of the bag. He was hesitant at first however eventually touched them to put them on the plate. Following, he tapped them to his lips with ease and visual model. During this time, he was playing with fake food and microwave while his preferred food (yogurt) was on the table in his visual field. When the yogurt was presented many times, he became upset and pushed it away. He intermittently played with the Z-vibe provided by SLP. Touching to his arms, face and lips. SLP opened yogurt, requesting for Santino to put the spoon in the yogurt. After many refusals, he did eventually place the spoon in the yogurt. He touched the spoon 5-10x with cues. SLP put the yogurt on the plate for the "goldfish to swim". Santino assisted SLP in putting the gold fish in the yogurt, with fleeting eye contact. When handed the spoon, Santino self fed a bite of yogurt. Following that bite, it appeared to be reflux as it came back into his mouth and he swallowed it back down. He then accepted 5 bites from SLP and self fed 10 bites total without aversion. This was a great session!! We will continue to target eating for me, himself in other environments, and eat for other teachers and educators.
