Could your child use a bit of support learning to eat effectively at your holiday dinners this season? Join Head To Toe Therapy as they provide free feeding and oral motor screenings for your little one. Meal time is not just about putting food in your mouth; it’s a process of accepting food and having the ability to move food around in your mouth when it gets there. Eating is also a social activity that can build connections with other people. So, if your child could use a boost in the right direction – please join us!
Play Partner: Irene Winkler, MOT, OTR/L and co-owner of Head To Toe Therapy
Grown-up Tip: Is more food making it to your floor than your child’s mouth? By 12 months, your baby may have enough finger and hand dexterity to make the spoon reach his or her mouth…even if some still lands on those cute cheeks!
