OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY GROUPS
Please read on for information on our upcoming small groups for occupational therapy here at Parker Place!
FUN WITH FOOD: PICKY EATERS
Only one slot remains for each age group - register now! In this 3-session group, we’ll explore strategies to help improve your child’s relationship with food. The fun, playful activities each week will turn mealtime into a sensory adventure: kids will learn to utilize all five of their senses to expand their comfort levels with different foods. Within this small group setting, participants will also experience valuable social interactions and learning opportunities through peer modeling.
As with all OT small groups here at Parker Place, Fun With Food is guided by our feeding specialist and occupational therapist, Kara Hoegerl, OTR/L.
Fun With Food is appropriate for children who are able to follow instructions and who can sit at the table for the majority of the session time. If your child requires more individualized attention or is not ready for a group setting, we also offer individual feeding therapy.
Ages: Two groups are offered: one for older children (3rd through 5th grade) and one for younger children (kindergarten through 2nd grade).
Dates: Mondays - April 15, 22 and 29 (older kids); Wednesdays - April 17, 24 and May 1 (younger kids)
Times: 5:15-6:00pm
Location: Parker Place, 116 Defense Highway, Suite 403, Annapolis, MD 21401
Fee: Individual class sessions are $75 each; all 3 sessions together are $195 (a 13% savings!). Cost includes all food and supplies utilized during the session.
