Not sure this is the right programme?
This programme includes
Eating assessment: safe foods and red flags
- Map your child's eating history, safe foods and nutritional red flags
- Clear next steps, including GP or dietitian support where needed
Mealtime structure: reducing pressure
- Set up pressure-off mealtimes using shared feeding responsibilities
- A calmer structure for serving food without pressure
Sensory assessment and food-chaining plan
- Explore accepted foods by sensory features and build a food chain
- A food-chaining plan based on foods your child already accepts
The research behind it
This responsive-feeding approach is informed by the research behind the division of responsibility model (Satter), food chaining and sensory desensitisation stages drawn from SOS-informed practice. It is adapted and coached 1:1 by an occupational therapist, with no claim that we deliver an accredited or trademarked programme.
How we'll know it worked
You set a baseline in session 1, use 30-second weekly check-ins, then see the before and after side by side at the final session: whether the accepted-foods list has grown and mealtimes feel calmer. Your written outcome summary also becomes evidence for school meetings and EHCP paperwork.
- Your accepted-foods list from session 1, counted again at the end.
- Your weekly mealtime stress rating, from 1 to 10.
- Two or three goals in your own words, scored from 0 to 10 before and after.
Is this for me?
Your child eats only a handful of familiar foods, often the same colour, texture or brand.
When one food drops off the list, it rarely comes back.
Meals have become a daily standoff, with pressure and worry on both sides.
Bribes, persuasion or hiding vegetables have made things harder rather than easier.
School lunches, parties or meals at grandparents' leave you planning around food.
Holidays and unfamiliar packaging can mean there is nothing your child will eat.
Want the whole pathway? The full programme runs to 6 sessions over 8 weeks, starting with these three sessions. See the full programme fits better.

Common questions
Is three sessions enough?
For a lot of families, yes. Each session ends with clear next steps, and plenty of parents find three focused sessions with one specialist is what they needed. You can stop there with nothing else to pay.
Can I go on to the full programme afterwards?
Yes. The full programme is 6 sessions over 8 weeks and starts with these same three, so tell us you have done the starter and we will set up just the remaining sessions with the same specialist, priced as a programme.
Do I need a diagnosis first?
No. Tell us what you are seeing in your own words. Your specialist works from how your child actually is, not from a label.
