Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just taking a moment to brag about our son's graduation from Feeding Therapy at JFK in Edison NJ. was dx in March of 07 with feeding issues primarily aversions to food and textures and the inability to chew evenly on both sides etc. He had a feeding eval done and we targeted several areas and placed a lot of challenges ahead of him. Our Therapist made learning fun and easy. We worked at home like crazy too and even enlisted our son's teacher and aides in giving us lunch feedbacks. We got the bible of all feeding therapy books called " Just Take a Bite " and tried to alert friends and family about our situation. Well it took over a year of heading in once a week but we had our last session last night. He came out of his room with a big smile having tried a peach for the first time (he is going on five) stating that he 'found the treasure', having found the pit in the center. We are so pleased and happy we wanted to share how well it worked and I only really found out about the program via a support group online - where one Mom actually worked at JFK and recommended it. Our insurance covered it (oddly they don't cover any speech) and is actually one of success stories because often times I hear people say feeding therapy did not work for them. Just wanted to share in case anyone here had feeding issues. April Larsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
