Feeding Group


Tye has graduated from the birth-3 program here in Idaho called the Infant/Toddler Program. That means he can no longer attend their feeding group. These are pictures from his last day. The group started with sensory play the first half hour then the second half hour is at the table. Joan and Amy are the two O.T.'s that ran the group and are in the pictures with Tye. It was sad to say goodbye...Tye enjoyed the time there. Mostly the play part of the hour. We began a new feeding group in SE Boise this week. They use the same approach as Tye is used to but he attends the group while I wait in the waiting room which will be different for both of us:) Tye still has difficulty eating enough to be a happy boy all the time so we will continue to use positive reinforcers, the DVD player and feeding group to help him.









The tea set was Tye's gift to the program.





Playing/touching the food is important even if he does not try it.
















The sensory ball was also a gift from Tye to the program.
