Feeding Program

You and your child can enjoy mealtimes again with the benefit of Feeding Therapy. We understand mealtimes can be one of the most stressful parts of the day when a feeding or eating difficulty is at play. With these difficulties, it goes beyond preferential or picky eating. Our feeding therapy helps both children and parents navigate and overcome the difficulties that can come with mealtimes.

What is the goal of our Feeding program?
  • The goal of feeding therapy is to help patients develop age-appropriate or functional feeding patterns and behaviors
  • Improving and strengthening the muscles of the face and mouth to safely and efficiently chew and swallow food and liquid
  • Increase in healthy weight gain
  • Assisting children having difficulties transitioning to different textured foods; and assist in decreasing your child’s large, emotional responses to non-preferred foods
  • Increasing your child’s food repertoire to include a well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and starches
  • Intrinsically motivating children to eat and to enjoy mealtime
  • Reducing the stress of mealtimes for your child and for you
Why Feeding Groups at Woven? 

We provide family-centered therapy. The feeding group therapy uses a sensory desensitization process following a feeding hierarchy. We also provide parent education outside of the feeding sessions.

  • Woven Care custom-tailors specific feeding treatment and recommendations to each individual family. We know feeding can be a huge cause of stress in the family
  • You and your child benefit from consistent feeding and eating therapy
  • Parents better understand what a feeding and eating difficulty is and why your child might be impacted
  • Children become intrinsically motivated to eat and/or interact with non-preferred or unfamiliar foods
Woven Feeding Groups
  • Your child will learn to explore unfamiliar and non-preferred foods in a safe, comfortable, fun group setting. We use peer motivation as a powerful tool to assist in interacting with and/or eating targeted foods. Your child will learn about different sensory and oral motor components of food in a fun, developmentally appropriate way: through play.

Vision Program

The Woven Care vision program focuses on understanding and addressing the unique visual needs and challenges children might face. Addressing visual issues can have a profound impact on a child's ability to learn, interact, and navigate the world around them.

Goals of a vision program:
  • Enhance visual comfort and reduce sensory overload.
  • Improve visual processing and integration with other sensory systems.
  • Enhance the child's ability to use vision functionally in everyday tasks, including reading, writing, playing, and socializing.
Who delivers vision therapy? 
  • Our vision program works in conjunction with other therapies your child might be receiving, such as occupational, speech, or physical therapy. Collaboration ensures that the child's overall needs are being met and that therapies reinforce each other.

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT)

  • Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is utilized by medical practitioners across the country to help patients of all ages and backgrounds reach their full potential. 
  • AAT is an effective way for individuals to engage in challenging therapy tasks with renewed motivation, reduced anxiety, and improved-self concept. Some common benefits for pediatric diagnoses include

Who delivers AAT?

  • Dogs!
  • AAT is available to your child in their speech, physical, or occupational therapy sessions. Interventions will vary based on your child’s goals but will commonly involve: coordination activities, speech articulation and pragmatics, social skills, sensory processing and calming techniques, and fine motor skill development. Each session will be designed to meet your child’s goals while providing comfort and motivation through the assistance of a therapy dog.
Why AAT at Woven Care?
  • We are proud to offer AAT social skills groups to help your child learn to participate with peers comfortably and positively. During group sessions, there will be four children, 2 therapists, and one dog working on common social goals including reduction of anxiety, appropriate social dialogue, establishing and maintaining boundaries, and attention.
