Little Taste Makers Feeding Classes
Little Taste Makers offer classes with low pressure environments to help support and develop our brave little ones' relationship with food. Our classes are custom designed by experienced Speech Language Pathologists, who have extensive training in Feeding Therapy, including picky eaters, tethered oral tissues, and oral motor disorders. Additionally, all classes are facilitated by licensed Speech Language Pathologists who are trained in Little Taste Maker’s curriculum.
Did You Know?
Feeding is one of the most complex tasks an infant will complete in the first few weeks of life. A single swallow requires muscles and cranial nerves to work together to move food and liquid through the body. When one or more elements are not in alignment, it can induce a pediatric feeding disorder, which may cause a child or infant to experience difficulty eating or drinking.
Our mission is to foster the growing appetites of your little ones through creative lesson plans and prompts on how to handle and eat foods on their own, properly.
“Creative solutions have the power to catapult children into a lifetime of success.”
— Jessica Hutter,
Founder of Little Taste Makers
