Therapy Kitchen

Therapy Kitchen is a designated space to learn about food and how to eat it. 

At Family Dietetics, we pride ourselves on delivering dietetics, nutrition and feeding therapy in a way that translates back to the family table.

Our Therapy Kitchens spaces are equiped like home kitchens with kitchen benches, sinks, ovens and appliances like you'd see at home. We learn at our benches and investigate foods at our dining tables. 

We understand that 'fussy eating' is more physiological than behavioural, 

and we individualise our weekly, fortnightly and school holiday programs to account for this. 

Our team of Feeding Therapists are trained in disordered eating profiles such as 

Avoidant Restricive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), 

Delayed Oromotor skills, 

Paediatric Feeding Disorder 

Tube Weaning. 

Feeding Therapy programs that we draw from to develop our individualised programs include:

- Responsive Feeding Therapy

- Food Chaining / Linking

- AEIOU

- DIR Floortime

- Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS)

We can additionally work on: food knowledge, cutlery skills, sensory processing difficulties

anxiety, resilience building and confidence through CBT and DBT techniques. 

We work with clients of all ages and abilities at Therapy Kitchen.
