In this week’s episode of Tube To Table, Jennifer and Heidi are giving our listeners a brief history of how the Thrive by Spectrum Pediatrics Tube Weaning Program started. They will discuss what brought them together as therapists and how their interest in feeding therapy and tube weaning first started. Jennifer shares how she found herself looking for more after working as an occupational therapist in feeding therapy for multiple years. For so long, therapy focused on skills including behavior, sensory, and oral motor, but a common observation was that the children she saw didn’t ever seem to enjoy food or mealtimes. After looking at the research behind what motivates children to eat, Jennifer worked to build a program that included hunger as well as responsive feeding techniques. This week’s episode breaks down why these two elements are crucial for building the foundation for a child’s healthy relationship with food while tube weaning.
