Why We Love It
Our team supports neurodivergent individuals and their families by using Responsive Feeding techniques and honoring individual preferences. We offer a variety of food options and naturalistic strategies to align with sensory needs and validate each child’s experiences. We create a warm and encouraging environment, and avoid pressuring, guilting, or shaming children into trying new foods.
