Today we began our Full Feeding Therapy - 
{last week we have only completed sensory therapy}
I was able to prep our Sensory Bin  & Our food for the session before B came home from school. Since Kindergarten can be such tough work, I give him 10 minutes to just "unwind" after school. Then its time to play with our Sensory Bin- This weeks bin has Rice, Frogs, Spiders, Bats & Red squishy objects. B has his Magnifying glass and gets to exploring ! Our Sensory Bin play last from 5-10 min. & is easily transitioned into Feeding Therapy. Our place-mat was provided from Vanderbilt Feeding Program. With Sections 1-10 we place our Favorite foods  GOLD FISH on the number spots ~ Who doesn't love starting therapy with a good go to item? B quickly gobbled those up! Next up was my pick ... Similar texture and color { But different shape and taste } Apple Jacks - He skipped right over step 1-4 and went to straight to 5-8 :) We had success ~ and once we told him they were Apple Jacks he said, Oh man, I thought they were fruit loops ! Next up ...B's choice- Cheerios : Straight to step 8 ! Next Up - My Choice - Onion Straws { smell is powerful } He touched it long enough to place it in the All Done Bowl. Next up - B's Choice- More Goldfish! My Next Choice was a apple slice ~ Step 1-4 he completed- He struggled with 5-8 but was able to get the tiniest piece swallowed :)Success ! Our last item of the day was a Watermelon Ball-  He was very nervous about this item. He smelled it, touched it, and kissed it but then quickly placed it in the all done bowl. As we go on I hope to add more fruits, veggies and proteins to his diet as well as more variety in the foods he enjoys today!
