When a client has a limited diet due to oral sensitivities, a combined approach of desensitisation through the use of TalkTools oral sensory motor therapy activities, and The Feeding Trust's Food Explorers programme, can achieve great progress.
Our SLT Rosie began using TalkTools with this particular client earlier this year, to begin the process of oral desensitisation. This has been the build-up to introducing The Feeding Trust's Food Explorers programme working alongside an Occupational Therapist from Creative Occupational Therapy.
As first sessions go, the introduction of Food Explorer activities was very successful with our client describing, touching and tasting some new foods.
