Based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire Jacqueline Parkinson’s Magnificent Munchers specialises in helping children with sensory based eating difficulties using the SOS approach (Sequential, Oral, Sensory).
We work with children who have the following eating difficulties:
- A Picky Eater child – someone with a limited/decreasing range of foods in their diet (less than 20)
- A child who refuses to eat either whole textures or categories of food
- Excessively cries/tantrums when presented with new foods
- Gags or vomits when offered or in the proximity of new food
- Reacts excessively to food on hands or around face
- Children transitioning from tube feeding to eating orally
The team consisting of an Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, Dietician and two Therapy Assistants will work with children with a variety of conditions including those on the Autistic Spectrum.
We aim to offer a flexible approach to therapy to fit in around school/work schedules with some evening and weekend appointments available.
If you are anxious about your child’s eating habits then contact the team either by calling 07591 733420 or email the Magnificent Munchers team to find out how we can help.
