The Family Food Adventure: Supporting Feeding with Confidence

Feeding is something every family does, every day — but for some children, it’s far from simple.

For families of children with disability, developmental delay, or sensory differences, mealtimes can bring anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion. What should be a moment of connection often becomes a battle.

At RippleAbility’s Carer Respite Centre, families explored practical strategies for building positive mealtime experiences, guided by feeding specialist clinicians who help children and carers rediscover joy around food.
