Feeding Happy Kids is a clinic based therapeutic service that specialises in support children with feeding difficulties and differences. We offer our services to all children in need across Wollongong and the Illawarra.
Our team of experts understands the complexities and challenges that can arise when it comes to children and their eating habits. We provide valuable education to families, offering insights into the underlying factors that influence a child's eating behaviours. By developing a deeper understanding of these factors, families can approach mealtimes with compassion, patience, and practical strategies.
We offer a unique service to the Illawarra working closely with families to create better feeding outcomes. We will create individualised feeding plans that consider a child's motor needs, sensory preferences, developmental stage, and any specific challenges they may face. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring that parents and caregivers are actively involved in the process, and their input is valued and incorporated into the feeding strategies.
We can be organise in-home or preschool/day-care/school visitations at a wide range of Wollongong locations from Helensburg to Kiama.
Bookings for our Unanderra clinic can be accessed without a referral.
