Our approach
Feeding therapy at Lively Eaters is built on family-centred, responsive approaches designed to make eating and drinking enjoyable and achievable for each child and family. Sessions integrate evidence-based strategies to develop mealtime skills while building family awareness of responsive mealtime environments. Therapy is tailored to your family's specific goals and needs, and can be conducted in person, in groups, via telehealth or in your home when clinically appropriate. The team works holistically, considering your child's mealtime behaviours, nutritional and health history, and development, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all program. For families managing more complex challenges like tube feeding or selective eating, intensive home-based therapy is available, offering hands-on support over a week to develop new daily routines and mealtime interactions. Throughout the process, the focus remains on empowering families to understand and execute change within their own capabilities.
