Feeding Therapy 'FoodSchool' is based on the SOS Approach to Feeding, which is a popular method for therapy in Trinidad. The SOS Approach stands for Sequential-Oral-Sensory, highlighting the major components of the program. For instance, there are 6 major steps to eating—eating does not begin at the mouth! First, we must tolerate the physical presence or the look of the food; this might even include just being in the same room as the food. Then, perhaps, we can interact with the food without directly touching it, maybe by using a kitchen utensil like a mini food chopper or a fork. Next, our body needs to process and manage the smell or odor of food. The play then expands to include touching the food with your fingers, hands, body, and mouth—think about that baby first learning to eat! Tasting comes next, which might look like quickly poking the food with the tip of your tongue or maybe putting the food in your mouth and spitting it out. Finally, we are ready to practice chewing and swallowing.

Psychotherapy and mental health counselling are collaborative and evidence-based approaches to mental health that integrate various therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs.

The Social Thinking programs help kids understand themselves and others, which is essential for enhancing their social navigation, fostering relationships, and boosting their performance at school and home. These unique tools effectively break down complex social concepts, like perspective taking, into understandable and actionable parts that can be applied in any setting. Strategies from this program can assist individuals with ADHD, social communication differences, social anxiety, autism, and other social, emotional, and cognitive learning differences, whether diagnosed or not. In Trinidad, therapy options incorporating these strategies can significantly benefit children facing these challenges.

Children with an awkward or immature grasp for their age often exhibit messy or slow coloring and writing skills, and they may fatigue easily during activities like typing classes. In Trinidad, we can provide therapy to support the improvement of these challenging areas such as hand strength, coordination, and manipulation. Our therapists are all trained in the Handwriting without Tears Certificate Program, which has been developed through years of research and innovation. HWT offers multi-sensory strategies for early writing that cater to all styles of learning.
