Primary School Age

I work with primary school aged children up to the age of approximately 11 years. This is due to the play based nature of my therapy skill set. I am still happy to chat to parents of older children to assist you with coming up with a plan of action including referrals. You can still book in a FREE 10 min chat with me using the ribbon at the top of the page.

Play with Foods’ signature program for this age group is a series of peer group therapy meals as part of the Online Sensory Food School. This is run every 2-3 months based on forming a group of peers. We use a play-based investigation of foods together to introduce a range of strategies to children to help them try foods with their own motivation. Home visits or online sessions are also possible one-on-one.

Whilst deciding if this is the right course of action for you, some of my articles or recipes may resonate with you, especially language tools you can use with your child.
