Self-Regulation and Sensory Processing Skills
Everyone experiences ‘big feelings’, but are your child’s ‘big feelings’ so big that they are interfering with functioning in the home, school and/or community environments? Are tantrums frequent and challenging to recover from? Are small inconveniences a big deal with reactions quickly going from 0 to 100?
Growing Butterflies OT specializes in optimizing a child and family’s overall self-regulatory skills so they can thrive in any and all settings and environments.
Individual skills and concepts are practiced in-session
Home programs are provided using the strategies that have been helpful for each child
Feeding Therapy
Some children may be picky eaters due to various underlying challenges such sensitivities to textures, smells, sights, and other sensory systems. Other times, there may be oral motor skill challenges and/or decreased strength in the mouth & jaw areas, creating challenges with eating.
Through our feeding therapy support, each child will receive a comprehensive evaluation identifying which areas to focus on to improve their food intake.
Feeding sessions are often done in the home and with parents as collaborators.
At times, Growing Butterflies OT also offers feeding therapy groups - a fun way for children new skills with same-aged peers!
