Oftentimes children with sensory processing issues will also have difficulty sustaining nutrition. The sensitivity to textures, tastes and smells can not only interfere with the child’s enjoyment of mealtime but even their ability to thrive. This class addresses sensory sensitivities through tactile and olfactory play as well as a structured step by step approach to expand the child’s dietary choices. Peer engagement is a powerful modality to support the child’s willingness to take interest in new foods in a safe manner.
